I am getting deeply confused and annoyed searching for #induction cookware. "Best Induction cookware sets" comes up with lots and lots of stainless steel (non-magnetic) and I know that won't work well.

Anybody here have good pots and pans that work well with an induction range? Drop me a link, thank you!

@xabean according to whirlpool, stainless steel works just fine 🤷

Cast iron works very well as well. we were considering induction for new digs but given that regular winter storms leave you without power for couple of days and hurricanes have left communities without power for 10-12 days at a time, we opted for propane cooking range instead ultimately.

@Rajiv problem is I can't walk up to a pot/pan online and see if a magnet sticks to it. :(

@xabean True but in cases where manufacturers have indicated if they are induction ready or not, you shouldn't have to. I do agree that it limits your choices though..

@Rajiv I guess I'll go to walmart/target with a hard drive magnet and fridge magnet and see which sticks best.

There's "magnetic" cookware which should heat SUPER FAST (like cast iron), and apparently there's "magnetic stainless steel", then (non-magnetic) "stainless steel".

@xabean @Rajiv And different degrees of magnetic stainless … I had a Le Creuset stock pot (enameled steel not cast iron) it was labeled “induction compatible” and it did heat up but very slowly compared to the better quality steel stock pots I have .

@tdotfish @xabean one of our plans is to do lot of outdoor cooking as well. so we are mostly switching to cast iron cookware where we can.
