Yes, you can typically use a steel cooker on an induction stovetop.
Induction cooktops use electromagnetism to heat cookware, requiring the cookware to be made of a ferromagnetic material. According to information available, cookware like carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron are commonly induction compatible.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Induction Compatibility: The key factor is whether the steel cooker is made of a ferromagnetic material. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of the cooker, it's likely induction compatible.
-
Types of Steel:
- Carbon Steel: Generally induction compatible.
- Stainless Steel: Often induction compatible, but it depends on the specific alloy used. Some stainless steel cookware has a layer of ferromagnetic material added to the base to make it suitable for induction cooking.
-
Other Materials to Avoid: Cookware made of materials like copper, glass, and aluminum are not induction compatible without a special interface disk.
