Are your pots and pans suitable for an induction hob?
Are you just switching to induction? If so, check under the bottom of your pots and pans first. For induction, you need pans with a thick, magnetic bottom. A handy TRIXX: does a magnet stick to the bottom of your pan? Then it's suitable!
This is how to keep the plate like new
An induction hob is beautiful, but also prone to scratches. Here's how to do it professionally:
- Softness first: Always use a microfibre cloth. These wipes are gentle on the glass and do not leave scratches.
- Mild cleaning: For daily cleaning, a soak of warm water with a little mild detergent is sufficient. Wring out your cloth well: it should be damp, not soaking wet.
- Stripe-free result: After cleaning, wipe the plate again with just water and then dry it immediately with a clean cloth. This will prevent those annoying white streaks.
- Focus on the details: Don't forget the edges of the hob. This is where dirt often accumulates unnoticed.
What you absolutely must avoid
To keep your hob looking great for years to come, there are a few things we at TRIXXO advise against:
- Say no to sanding: Scouring pads and abrasive cleaners (such as Cif) are glass's worst enemy. They cause dull spots and scratches that you will never get rid of.
- Don't procrastinate:The best habit? Clean the plate immediately after cooking clean it (as soon as it has cooled down). The longer you wait, the more food residue cakes.
- The last resort:Any stubborn caked-on dirt? Then only use a special glass scraper designed for induction hobs. Keep the scraper at the right angle to avoid damage.
With proper care, your induction hob will remain the showpiece of your kitchen. Would you rather have a professional shine your kitchen weekly? Request your household help from TRIXXO and enjoy a worry-free household!
