Can I use my regular pots and pans on this unit?

maybe but mostly not. The bottoms need to have iron or enough to respond to magnetism. A small magnet comes with the Nuwave and you can test each pan. A few of mine worked and my cast iron fry pan worked.

No; only induction pans such as cast iron etc. the Nuwave precision website have induction cookware on their website. I was able to use my cast iron pan and grill Pam I purchased with the unit.

no, your pots and pans have to be stainless steel. The only way to check is to put a magnet on the bottom, if it sticks those pans can be used.

Hi- The answer to your question is no. You can only use cast iron or pots and pans the Nuwave offers. No aluminum, because the Nuwave has to make a connection you know like a plus and minus. I ust cast iron pots and pans I like the way the cook. I hope this answers your question.

Yes pots will fit on every hook. Extra hooks are handy as you will likely find a use for them.

Absolutely you can. Here's the kitchen aid video demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3rPY0Zob9Q

The instructions did not specify so I use the stainless steel I already had. Word of caution, the pots are beautiful, that is one of the two reasons I purchased them, if you fry, they won't remain that way on the inside, just accept it.

If you asking if the kitchen will work with other pots and pans the answer is yes.

Probably is your cookware is incompatible with the unit. Test the cookware with a magnet. If it sticks to it you can use it....if not take your magnet with you to shop for compatible pans.

I don't know Helen. I have the traditional burners. But I don't see why not. It's a great set.

Yes. You can use metal utensils on this cookware as it doesn't have a non-stick coating.

Yes. I have an induction stove top, and the lower pot acts like any other steel pot. I have not tried using the upper pot as a standalone saucepan.

I have not done so, but the surface is large enough to place cooking pots or pans on. It may prove difficult to regulate the temperature of the stove top, but you might try spacers under your cooking pans , or just lift them off for a while if it gets too hot. I keep my unit from overheating by limiting the amount of wood I load in to it.

You can use any utensils with these pots and pans. I use stainless, and use the silicone with teflon coated pots and pans. I don't think it really matters

You should be able to. The grill on the side burner has two levels: raised for searing and lowered for pots and pans. I haven't used it for that purpose yet but don't see a problem. Just start out on the lowest heat and increase as needed.

Yes. The actual hooks that the pots hang on are "v" shaped and simply sit over the rack's edge. So you can use all of them or less, you can hang pots from either side of the "v" hook, and you can position them wherever you want around the edge.

From the Nuwave FAQs... Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Medium to heavy gauge pots and pans are optimal.

You need the porcelain/ceramic pot (caquelon) for those types. You can use the same assembly for heating but the metal pot will cook them at the wrong temp. Great set btw, got it at xmas and have used it a couple times since!

We've been using this product for several months and have never had any problems with our regular set of pots and pans. Nothing special is required.

The stove is extremely sturdy with the cross members in place on top. As long a you have the weight distributed evenly I would say your options are pretty open as to the pot or pan you may use.
