To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction
cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the
pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom
of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for
induction cooking.

not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop
flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking

Home Canning
Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the
“Cookware” section to check if the canner will work on the
induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the
use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This
allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
