One problem with induction cooking is that you have to use cookware made of ferromagnetic metal. For other pots an interface ferromagnetic disk is required.

- nodata 15y agoOne problem? What are the others? Ferromagnetic pots are not expensive. Even Ikea sells them on half of their range.
- tptacek 15y ago"Interface ferromagnetic disk" meaning "round piece of any metal efficiently heated by induction". I think this downside of induction is wildly overstated; I have very few pieces of cookware that aren't "induction compatible", and I certainly didn't shop for them with that as a criteria. Any All-Clad pan works; my cheap-o omelette pan works; my enameled dutch oven works; obviously, my cast iron skillet works. So much normal, good cookware works on an induction cooktop that it might make more sense to think about "induction incompatibility" as a liability of exotic (or particularly cheap) cookware, instead of a liability of induction.
