Choosing the material for the steaming pot for induction cookers

If your purpose is to buy a specialized steaming pot for induction cooking, the first thing you need to pay attention to is to choose a compatible material that contains magnetic properties at the bottom of the pot. It must meet two conditions. First, it must have a magnetic bottom that can attract a magnet. Second, it must have a flat bottom.

Choosing the material for the steaming pot for induction cookers

If you order online or buy directly, you should carefully check the product description to ensure that the pot material can be used on induction cookers. If you do not pay attention to checking the magnetic structure of the bottom, you may encounter sensor errors and the induction cooker not recognizing the pot when placed on the cooking zone.

We recommend that you choose a stainless steel steaming pot for induction cookers, made of 304 stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant. You can also choose stainless steel steaming pots with 3 layers, 5 layers, or 7 layers with an aluminum core for better heat distribution, longer heat retention, and maximum energy cost savings. This is also a safe product that does not produce harmful impurities and, of course, cooks stably on induction cookers. Therefore, when researching what pots are best for induction cooking, always prioritize stainless steel pots with integrated 430 magnetic bottom standards.

Choosing the size

Large steaming pots usually have multiple tiers and vary in size. However, for induction cookers, you should choose a steaming pot with a bottom size ranging from 26 – 32cm and a height of about 6-10cm for the best fit.

Steaming pots for induction cookers with a size of 26cm can usually steam about 1.5kg of rice. If you need to steam larger quantities or steam larger food items such as vegetables, meat, or buns, you should choose a larger steaming pot.

Multi-tiered induction steaming pots have the advantage of allowing you to steam multiple types of food at the same time, boiling at the bottom and steaming on top, preserving the flavor or reheating food faster. Using a steaming pot is much healthier than using a microwave for cooking.

Sturdy pot handles

Because steaming pots have ventilation holes, you may easily get burned due to carelessness. Therefore, you should choose pots with sturdy handles for each tier, designed with heat-resistant silicone, to easily move as well as stir and flip food evenly. Do not choose steaming pots with many compartments but without handles as shown below.

Ventilation holes

One very important thing when choosing a steaming pot for induction cooking is the ventilation holes. If you choose a large, multi-tiered steaming pot, you should choose a pot with ventilation holes of different sizes at each tier.

For example, the steaming pot for induction cooking needs small ventilation holes to prevent rice from falling to the bottom of the pot. The steaming trays on the upper tier can use larger ventilation holes to steam larger food items.

In addition, you should also choose steaming pots for induction cookers that have a water level indicator, non-stick coating, pot capacity, etc.
