How to Cook With Cast Iron on Induction
Cast iron works great on induction, but there are tips for best results.
Cast iron and induction are a great combination. Here's how to get the best results.
Cast iron is induction-compatible—the magnetic field heats the iron directly.
Preheat slowly—medium heat for a few minutes before adding food. Cast iron takes a bit to heat evenly.
The Lodge Cast Iron works perfectly on induction cooktops.
Use the right size burner—if your pan covers most of the burner, you'll get best heat distribution.
