what will happen if I use pans other than the ones that came with the nuwave cooktop

As long as they have the heat coil symbol on them they will work. The other pans just wont get hot.

I believe they would work with the NuWave; however, only two out of the four worked with my Induction Oven. The fry pan and the Dutch oven. The one quart and two quart pans did not work.

I'm not sure, I use it on my glass top range. The Nuwave shows stainless cookware on it.

The pans I purchased are not compatible with induction cooktop. However I noticed that they now sell sets that are compatible.

If the stove uses radiant heat the answer is yes. If it's inductive, then no. Only steel/cast iron (a magnet sticks to them) based pans will work with inductive cooktops.

I have a glass top stove and these pans do very well. There was no warning with either the cookware or the stove manufacture that there would be any problems. Use the cookwar oa any stove top and enjoy!

I did a lot of reviews on these before I bought them and from everything I read, they were safe to use on the glass top stove. THat being said, when I moved from our apartment to our house, that was my one requirement....no glass top. So I don't have them to confirm they won't ruin the pans, but again I did a lot of research and didn't find anything about that. I will say that I LOVE this set!!!

Was given the Nuwave induction coop top - My expensive pans (bought over 30 years ago and still working great), did NOT work on the Nuwave. After looking at several stores locally, I did not find anything I could use on my Nuwave. I have several cast iron pans, so I could use them, but they are so heavy and I am handicapped. I ordered 2 sets of the pans (my sister was given a Nuwave at the same time I was). Your answer is a decidedly "Yes" . I am really glad they not only work, they are easy to clean and also look nice.

I don't know, as I use natural gas. I would suggest calling the manufacturer. If they say it will, then I can tell you TeChef is the best set of non-stick cookware I have ever used. I use it because it doesn't require any oil or butter. Omelets, fritattes, skinless chicken breasts, everything slides right out.

I have a nu-wave induction cook top. The smallest pan of the set is sometimes hit or miss, but all the others work just fine.

YES! I bought this set for my nuwave induction unit! This set is absolutely beautiful also. Extremely high quality, says on bottom of each pan induction ready! (Induction symbols).

not compatible with NuWave Induction Cooktop. Induction cooktops usually require a magnetic material; this set is made of aluminum which is not magnetic. do not buy these if you want to use for induction cooktops.

you have to prepare the pan, I don't scramble but I do cook eggs in it and I do make an occasional omelet. Even in a Teflon pan you have to prepare it with something. I love this cookware, I have quite a few products. Even the cookware that came with the Nuwave pic top stuck, that's why I bought this product and I am not at all dissatisfied. Plus it cleans up nicely without a problem. I don't use steel wool on it either, I use a plastic type sponge.

http://www.nuwavepic.com/part/products.asp?ref_version=PPC-NONBRANDED-PN12 I'm sorry I can't answer your question from experience. The cited link takes you to a page of frying pans that are recommended by the manufacturer to be used with an infusion cooktop. I noticed that any pot or pan they recommend is made either of stainless steel or cast iron. I think this pan would work. It is being used in our household at least once a day. Great quality!

I don't think this would be a problem. I do know you should not use spray oils on the pans. The propellent in these sprays ruins any non-stick finishes.

I am not sure about the coating, but I have had no problems with this set of pans on my nuwave burner. In fact I bought a 12in. Pan from another store using my magnet to determine if it would work and it has been a good pan also.i do not consider this pan set as low quality.
