Pancake pans for induction hob

Many people love pancakes - one of the traditional Russian dishes. And housewives often prepare this delicacy. However, some modern apartments are equipped with induction cookers. We will figure out which pancake pans are suitable for this type of stove, what characteristics they have, and also consider the subtleties of choice and an overview of the best models.

Today, quite often modern apartments are already equipped with induction cookers. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they heat food quite quickly and evenly. Therefore, a pancake pan for induction hobs must have certain characteristics. When choosing such a frying pan, it is worth taking into account its ferromagnetic properties, the number of layers, type of material, bottom thickness, strength and other features.

A crepe maker that will be used on an induction-type hob must first of all be magnetic.... Such dishes must necessarily have a ferromagnetic bottom, and also include several layers - they are responsible for uniform heating of the pan.

If we consider cookware made of glass, brass, copper or aluminum, which does not have a special layer, then it is strictly forbidden to use it for induction cookers. Today, manufacturers make a special mark, which means that the cookware is suitable for the magnetic induction cooker. It is presented in the form of a spiral.

The body of a pancake pan for an induction cooker can be made of various materials, but the bottom of the container must be magnetised, which means that it must have ferromagnetic properties. In addition, these pans must meet the following requirements:

• bottom thickness should be 3 mm or more;
• flat and even bottom;
• the diameter of the bottom of the container must be at least 2/3 of the diameter of the burner.

The pancake pan can be made of copper, cast iron and steel. And the bottom should have metal inserts or a special ferromagnetic layer. Let's consider the main types of the case.

• Cast iron model. This option is suitable for frying pancakes even at a fairly high temperature, while they will not burn. As you know, cast iron pans are characterized by strength, reliability and durability.
• Copper options. Today they are not in demand, but they have one advantage - copper evenly distributes heat, which guarantees excellent frying of pancakes, as a result of which they look very beautiful.
• Aluminum or stainless steel pans. They are great for frying pancakes, and you can use high temperatures. Such products can be washed in a dishwasher, they are very easy to use. Please note: if the pan is made of aluminum, then it must be cast. The aluminum options are inexpensive, but they can be difficult to fry in the pancakes as they burn.
