• Can a hot pan be placed on the Induction Cooktop?

Answer:

Wolf does not have a specific cookware brand recommendation for Wolf products.

Glass cooktops:

• Pots can be left on a non-induction cooktop.
  • Since induction works along with having a pot on the surface, leaving pots on an Induction Cooktop is not recommended.    
• Sliding pans back and forth over time may cause increased scratching of the glass top surface. There is no solution for scratches on glass cooktop.
• A hot dish or pan from the oven can be placed on the Induction Cooktop surface. It will not cause any damage to the glass or elements.

Gas cooktops:

• Stainless and other metal cookware will leave white or silver residue on burner grates; this is considered normal.

Ovens:

• Convection modes in Wolf Ovens use airflow to distribute heat evenly. Containers with lids, or baking sheets with edges will block that airflow, eliminating the advantages of convection.
