Best Induction Cookware Sets: Top 3 of 2016
Finding the best induction cookware can be tricky task to get right, but hopefully my Ultimate Guide will help
you to find the best set to get started
In this guide, I will be giving you a brief overview of what I consider to be the most useful sets on the market right
now depending on your needs.
For example:
The Duxtop set is a fantastic little starter set that is reasonably priced and gives you all of the basics.
The Magma set is a very cleverly designed set which is what you will need if you travel a lot, or if space is
an issue.
The Swiss Inox is just the best value, with 18 pieces and a seriously high quality, Swiss design, (for
bragging rights of course!).
I will also give you an idea of the difference between Induction Cooking vs Gas Cooking (both have their pros &
cons), and I will also give my best induction cookware reviews to help you to make the right choice if you decide
to buy or if you are just looking upgrade from an old induction cookware set.
Unlike widely used electric and gas ranges, induction cooking units depend on an electromagnetic mechanism
beneath the ceramic cooktop to heat your food.

available using this great looking cookware with unsurpassed heat retention and easy-release cleaning.
If you are looking for something a little more traditional, I suggest you take a look at the Rachel Ray cookware
set review.
The cooking surface doesn’t have to be seasoned and is ideal for electric and gas ranges. The large stockpot
has plenty of room for your favorite soups and stews and the smaller pots and pans are a great additional to your
existing collection.

The non stick stainless steel alsp makes cleanup fast and easy – a crucial part…a good cook always has a clean
& tidy kitchen and clean tools

your cooking.
Special plastic liners under each handle that are securely bonded on the pots and pans, keep them cool to the
touch and provide added strength.
The lids are shatter resistant keeping moisture and heat inside the cookware. This stylish cookware is oven safe
to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and compatible with most cooktops except, induction cookware systems.
Even including a very interesting “heat management thermometer knob” to keep your cooking at a very exact
temperature – this I like a lot. I have actually spoken with some satisfied owners who confirm that this is not a
gimmick and something that they actually use every time they cook.
Whether you spend hours in the kitchen preparing for a large group or you create special dishes for yourself, the
Swiss Inox Induction Cookware set will give you many hours of cooking pleasure with the assurance of quality

Duxtop 9 Piece Set
Best Beginner Set
Your kitchen can finally be complete with the beautiful Duxtop Whole-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Induction
Ready Premium Cookware 9-Piece Set, (Phew...that was a mouthful!).
Full Review
This professional cookware set is made with the Whole-Clad Tri-Ply 3-layer construction, consisting of one
aluminum core sandwiched between two magnetic stainless steel layers, it’s extra sturdy and emanates even
heat from the bottom and up along the sides of each pot and pan to eliminate hot spots and produce evenly
heated foods.
The 3 layers are specifically designed to activate the magnetic field in all Induction cooking surfaces.
This technology stops your food from over cooking by using less heat through the magnetic layers on the
bottom of each piece of cookware.
The magnetic field in the cookware connects with the electromagnet in the inductive cooking system to create
heat while, at the same time, keeping the cooktop surface cool to the touch.
The Whole-Clad technology is created from superior grade metals that are bonded to produce the most
durable and efficient heat conductive system available on the market today.
With this system you will enjoy the benefits of properly heated foods while not having to use high heat to prepare
your meals.
The conductive Whole-Clad design of this Duxtop induction cookware will last longer than other heat
conducing methods for inductive cooking systems.
Duxtop’s Whole-Clad technology extends the life of this cookware compared to the more commonly used,
encapsulated-base construction.
This stylish cookware set has been designed with an actual cook in mind, i.e. you and me, with drip-free

The pure stainless steel on the outside and inside of the cookware makes cleaning easy. The Duxtop cookware
is dishwasher safe but The Kitchen Guy recommends that you hand wash it to protect it from any harmful
chemicals in dishwasher products that can potentially shorten its life.

kitchen porters. Well I’m not at least!

What You Need To Know About Induction Cookware
Now that you know you must use cookware that is compatible with your inductive cooktop, you can begin to
7/10

look for the most appropriate cookware that will work well in your kitchen no matter how simple or sophisticated.
The options are endless with colors to suit any style and taste, from red to blue to purple and the traditional black
or silver, you will find induction cookware that meets your particular needs.
(Diagram): What is an induction cooktop & how does it work?
When you turn the unit on, the electromagnetic field actually heats the cookware that is placed on it but keeps
the surface cool at the same time!
Gas and electric stove burners first get hot then heat your cookware from the outside, whereas induction stove
tops transfer heat through the magnetic connection becoming part of the circuit.
Your food is heated inside your cookware, cooking the food directly and leaving the cooktop relatively cool. You
can see why inductive cooking is so unique and very safe to use because it eliminates the risk of getting
burned from a hot stove burner.
Cookware for inductive units must be made of, or contain, iron or steel. So glass, aluminum or copper
cookware will not work on the induction cooktop.
You’ve seen the stoves with the smooth top and no burners; those are Inductive Cooking Units and are very
unique indeed. You can find out way more information about induction cooking by checking out Wikipedia’s
article on it.
