- Makes non-magnetic pans usable on induction hobs
- Removable heat-insulated handle
- Compatible with a wide range of materials
The Westmark induction hob shim is a practical solution for those who want to use pans that would otherwise not work on induction hobs. It makes it possible to heat pots, pans and pots made of aluminium, copper, enamel, cast iron or non-magnetic ceramic. Available in two different sizes, 14 cm and 24 cm, the shim also has a removable heat-insulated handle for both safe and convenient use.
Make your old pots and pans induction-friendly
Induction hobs require pans with a magnetic base, something that some pots, pans or pots lack. This induction hob shim solves that problem. Place the plate on the induction hob and place your non-magnetic pan on top. The shim acts as an adapter and conducts the heat from the induction hob to the pan, making it work as if it were adapted for induction.
Safe handling with removable handle
The thermally insulated handle makes it easy and safe to place and lift the spacer plate, even when it is hot. The handle can be removed when needed, for example for easier storage or if it is in the way during cooking. Always use the handle when handling - the shim plate gets very hot during use.
Fits a variety of materials
The induction shim plate is compatible with a variety of materials: aluminium, stainless steel (non-magnetic), copper, enamel, cast iron and ceramic. This makes it ideal for old pots or special pans that you don't want to replace just because you've switched to an induction hob.
Correct use
For best results, the shim should match the size of the hob. The size of the cookware should also match or exceed the size of the plate - especially important when using the smaller model, which should only be used briefly with a cookware smaller than the plate.
OBS! Never use the plate without any cookware on top, and always start on low to medium heat. Functions such as 'Power' or 'Boost' must not be used, nor the highest heat of the hob - this can overheat the plate and damage both the plate and the hob. Therefore, the cooktop is not optimal for boiling water and at very high heat the induction cooktop may yellow, which is perfectly normal.
Easy cleaning
The cooktop is dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning easy. However, to prolong its lifespan, hand washing is recommended. Use mild detergent and allow the plate to cool completely before cleaning.
