I picked up an induction hob, but the Stockpot I am using is not induction ready
The above one is!

I was looking at them too. My cooker is induction so I thought that could be handy in the winter for making small batches indoors.

So everyone knows:

Induction hobs ONLY work in conjunction with magnetic materials, so:

Aluminium, Copper, Pyrex, etc are no goes

Enamelled Steel, Cast iron ware are great!

Stainless for this purpose comes in two forms magnetic and non magnetic.

SS is also known as: Ferritic and Martensitic stainless steels are magnetic. Austenitic stainless steels are non-magnetic.

Now most of our keggles are magnetic. Just see if a fridge magnet sticks!

Some professional cookware ( see Nisbetts.ie ) have a layer of magnetic ss so they are induction ready!

I love my aluminum pot (on my gas boiler) but never ever use aluminum on a ceramic hob. It'll scratch the f*** out of it.

I have a 7l stockpot, thought it would be good on a portable (Aldi) Induction hob for demos.
I then found that its non-magnetic, so need the pot too.  :

I just picked up the hob in Aldi and discovered my stockpot doesn't work with it. Luckily, I'll be in Ikea next month anyway, so I'll add the stockpot to the shopping list.

How powerful are those aldi jobs? I heard that you can get a lot of mileage out of induction

[johnrm]

Brian, let me know when you're heading up, I'll get you to get me  one too. Thanks

The aldi ones are 2kw. I must test the boil times to see how it performs.

Will do John.

Tube did a test between his one and gas.

I've only used mine once so far to heat a few litres for steeping. I wasn't timing it but it was as good as the very expensive induction hob in the kitchen! The one that she picked out  Because it had shiny chrome handles. FFS!

Had a look at these the other day. They look good. They have the volume etched on the inside too which is very handy..

Considering a Jamie Olivier is 4 times the price, these represent excellent value.

Lads not sure if Ikea is really that cheap :/
10l for €35.00 doesn't look like a great bargain if you'll compare it with The Homebrew Company offer.
What about SS 21l pot for €39.95, 33l for €59.95, 50l for €76.99 and 70l for €81.99??

When was this because they are not on the main site and they are nowhere to be found in my local Aldi ? In fact i have not seen them advertised for at least a couple of weeks now.
