Choosing Cookware

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking

element.

Use ﬂat-bottomed pans sized to ﬁt the cooking surface

and also to the amount of food being prepared.

Induction interface disks are NOT recommended.

Using the correct size cookware

Paragon is designed to be used with pans within the

range of 6 to 11 inches in diameter.

Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow

the induction element to turn on, if a pan is removed for

more than 2 minutes, the power will be shut o

For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact

with the glass surface.

Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better

heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose

cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel

coated cast iron, enameled steel and combinations of

these materials.

Some cookware is speciﬁcally identiﬁed by the

manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a

magnet to test if the cookware will work.

Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or

slight ridges can be used.

Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or

curved bottoms will not heat evenly.

For wok cooking, use a ﬂat-bottomed wok. Do not use a

wok with a support ring.
