You need induction ready pot/pans. There are stainless coated cookware that is designed to be used with induction cook tops. I just purchased all new cookware for our culinary program and only purchased induction ready through Volrath, but All Clad makes them for retail buyers,
Stainless - All-Clad Metalcrafters of course a cast iron pan works great on induction
I think induction is fantastic, however, I also think the dog is right, stick with propane or diesel for now, but get the pots now...who knows, maybe next year they will produce a stove top worth looking into as a practical use on a sailboat with limited energy rersources...then again, Nigel's boat may have enough in the bank
