Hob · Pans and contact

Why does a radiant ceramic hob need suitable flat-bottomed pans?

Heat transfer and stable support depend on the cookware meeting the surface appropriately. A rocking or deeply ridged base can perform differently from the recommended design.

What the observation means

A pan that was stable on a gas support is not automatically ideal on a flat glass surface. Its material and size also affect cooking.

A useful next step

Use the hob's cookware guidance and inspect the cool base for damage. Do not press a pan down or drag it to improve contact. If a zone remains ineffective with suitable cookware, describe that observation separately from a pan-fit problem.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
