Do you need to use special kinds of pans on this to work properly?

Yes, pans must be induction capable. New pots and pans that are induction compatible will have an icon on the packaging that indicates this.

the pans must contain ferrus metal to work. To check a pan, see if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan. If it does, the pan will work

Yes, pans must be induction capable. New pots and pans that are induction compatible will have an icon on the packaging that indicates this. Some older steel pots and pans will also work, but not all. The SPT 1300 worked great for us.

I use Allclad on mine by preference but any other metal bottom pan should work. I am so impressed with induction cooking that I will be replacing my main cooktop with induction!

The 1300 watt induction cooktop has a cord look to me about 8ft long and require special induction type of cook ware. To check if your pan will work or not hold a magnet to pan bottom if magnet stick to bottom the pan is good. Do not buy pot or pans if magnet do not stick - as far as induction cooktop is concern.

NO. Easy Bake oven require a specific size and shape pan to be able to function. These are best for regular ovens or toaster ovens. If you are teaching children to cook I would suggest a toaster oven as it is smaller and easier to see in to as well.

Yes, you need metal pans that can induce the heating element on the PIC. I recommend cast iron.

It work very well. I can use any type of pan and pot. For instance made with any aluminum or corning ware.

Yes. If u don't there will not be a hot spot on the bottom. The heat will crawl up sides too far to cook at different levels in one pan.

No. At least on our Kenmore Induction cook-top (it is a bit old). Not a single pan works on ours. It may on others.

I don't have those but I would think that would damage the pan. Also, I have a gas range so I'm no help. Sorry.

Yes. You want to use a little butter or some type of oil. Make sure you use low-to-medium heat, and just the right amount of heat so that the eggs cook but not so much that it will scorch the eggs. You may have to play around with the heat settings to find out the right amount for your stove and this pan.

You can use any oven proof pan w/ this oven. However, the accessory pieces are made to fit in the oven and help the oven to work better.

Initially, yes, you can. However over time (beyond 6 mo maybe?) you will need just a little oil, such as putting a little on a paper towel and wiping bottom of pan with it. I love these pans though!

Nope. The pans are very tiny. I bought them for that very use. Unfortunately, they're so small I can't use them for anything. They're still sitting in the box they were shipped in.

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

Yes! I've used my Anchor Hocking and Pyrex 12 x 9 and also loaf pans. No issues whatsover.

My son in law says no. He said you have to have special pots and pans for that type of range top.

Yes but I usually do t. They are fine to use. It's an amazing pan... You will love it

No. Any regular cooking pan is fine. One thing I did learn that isn't in my review. It does use a lot of energy. I still really like it but am now using my crock pot for the things that take a long time to keep my energy bill smaller.

Dottie P. I have the accessories pkg. but I do use my regular pans with it. I have never come across a problem. Hope this answers your question glad to be of some help.
