Induction cooktops are energy efficient, fast to heat up, easy to clean, and probably the safest cooktops you can buy. However, if you're switching from an electric range or gas range, there’s one catch to be aware of. Due to the way these cooktops conduct heat, they only work with compatible cookware. Which means when you upgrade to induction, some of your old cookware may become redundant.
Converter discs, also known as induction adaptor plates, offer a potential solution to the problem and have become readily available online. These metal plates can be placed on an induction cooktop to allow you to use cookware that would not otherwise be compatible with it.
