I have induction (it's becoming increasingly popular here, as well it should,
it's *wonderful*). As far as pots and pans are concerned, just stick a small
fridge magnet in you pocket when you go shopping. Anything that has a flat
bottom to which the magnet sticks will be good for your cooker. I have a couple
of expensive pans and I also have some cheap ones - the difference is the
lifespan. An expensive pan will be usable for over 10 years. A cheap one will
last from 1 to 5 years at most.
