Are all stainless-steel pans suitable for induction?

No. Stainless-steel construction varies, and the complete base design matters. A shiny finish is not evidence of magnetic compatibility.

What the observation means

Some pans incorporate a suitable layer while others do not. A pan that works poorly on one zone may also be too small for that zone's detection requirements.

A useful next step

Check the cookware's stated compatibility and the hob's guidance. Use a known suitable undamaged pan for normal cooking observations. Do not assume an entire stainless set shares identical bases or attempt to solve incompatibility by overheating the pan.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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