Can I use cast iron fry pan 11 inches for my nesco induction cooktop 1500 watts

Cast iron is not an issue, but I found that size is. Larger size pots make the unit heat up and trigger an automatic shut off. The manual that came with it reads "Use cookware that is flat, suitable for induction heating and having a bottom diameter between 3.15 inches and 10.00 inches."

I believe that's way too big for this cooktop. I use a 11" and that works fine. 15" is alot larger then the surface and cast iron is very heavy as well.

I don't have induction cooktop, but my son and his wife do and they use Calphalon with no problem.

I have used a 12 inch Pan that worked fine. You could probably use up to 15 inch. Ray

Yes any size, as long as a magnet sticks to the pot. Cast iron cannot be turned up beyond Power 2. I love mine!

Check the set offered at Bed bath and Beyond. I believe that Farberware set gas induction ready pieces = not the fry pans, though.

I'm not very familiar with induction cooktops, however I think they need a high iron content. I would contact the company to be sure.

Never tried. I usually use iron or stainless steel cookware for deep frying.

This pan is anodized aluminum. Induction cooktops require stainless or cast iron (or other ferromagnetic metal). But you can buy an "Induction Interface Disc" that will allow you to use aluminum, copper and glass pans on the cooktop. It's a stainless steel disc about 8" in diameter with a heatproof handle (kind of like a pan with no sides). A bit of a pain of course, but I guess it lets you preserve your investment in your existing cookware upon switching to induction. It sounds like you might want to look for a different pan.

I have used pans larger than the heating circle on the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop, and it worked just fine. As long as there is contact with the heating circle and the pan, it will work.

You can't get anything above 1800 watts in a 110 volt induction cooktop. At 1800 watts, you will be drawing 16 amps. Most homes have only 15 amp circuit breakers. That's why they limit 110 volt units to 1800 watts. To go up to 3000 watts, you need to have a 220 volt line installed with a 15 to 20 amp breaker. All 3000 watt induction cooktops are 220 volts.

It says it for larger pans so I would think an 8" aluminum fry pan would work fine and maybe even a 10" aluminum. A 10" cast iron fry pan would be probably be pushin it as well as putting a Coleman outdoor camp oven on it might spell trouble as i don't think it's designed for that type of weight.

The bottom of the pot (the part that contacts the cooktop surface) can be up to 11". If More than that the pot will touch the front control panel which is flush with the rest of the surface. The control panel is made of a different plastic and looks like it might not tolerate contact with a hot pan. I have used a 15" flat bottom wok but the bottom diameter was only 9". Also, the induction coil is only about 6 1/2" diameter so large bottom cookware would get less heat at the perimeter--a condition that might not be convenient depending on what you're cooking.
