A: Cookware that is induction compatible has to be made of a ferromagnetic material or have inserts with magnetic properties.

Enameled iron, cast iron, most types of stainless steel, any kind of cookware with a magnetic bottom are all induction compatible. All Fagor cookware is induction compatible.

If you are unsure about your cookware, you can easily test if it is induction compatible. All you need is a magnet. If a magnet readily clings to the base of your cookware piece, that piece is induction compatible; if the magnet does not cling, or clings only very weakly, the piece is not suitable for induction cooking.

If your cookware is not currently induction compatible, there's no need to go out and invest in a new set. Fagor America is currently offering a mail-in bonus promotion for a FREE 7-piece uCook Pressure Cooker Set (MSRP $150.00) - with the purchase of any Fagor built-in induction cooktop in selected retailers available while supplies last. Please contact 1-800-207-0806 for details.

We recommend you use either an ordinary porous sponge or special sponge for delicate items. Avoid cleaning the glass ceramic surface with abrasive materials or soaps in powder form as these detergents may scratch the surface.

We also recommend you clean any sugar-based spills immediately and always use cookware after the exterior has been wiped dry, for better contact with your cooktop.

A: Yes, as long as you follow the installation recommendations. Check the installation manual for more details.
