Can I Use A Regular Pan On An Induction Cooktop?
No, you cannot use a regular pan on an induction cooktop as they require specific magnetic properties for the cookware. Induction cooktops work by using magnets to heat up the cookware directly, rather than through thermal conduction like a traditional stovetop. The cookware must have an iron or magnetic base in order for the magnetic field to work and heat it up. Otherwise, the cooktop will not detect the pan and not heat up.
