Casserole pans for induction cooking
Casserole pans for induction are saucepans designed to work with induction hobs. Induction cooking relies on compatible cookware, so the base of the pan must be suitable for the hob to heat it. These pans are practical for everyday jobs such as warming sauces, preparing smaller portions and cooking foods in liquid.
Choosing an induction casserole pan
Start with the capacity and proportions you need for the food you cook most often. A compact saucepan can be convenient for sauces and smaller quantities, while your wider collection of saucepans can cover different cooking tasks and portion sizes.
Appearance also matters when cookware is used frequently. Induction-compatible casserole pans are available in black and silver, making it possible to choose a finish that suits your other cookware and kitchen.
Casserole pans with or without a lid
A lid can be useful when simmering or when you want to limit evaporation during cooking. If this is important for the dishes you prepare, consider saucepans with lids alongside your requirements for hob compatibility, size and design.
