A good strategy is to buy a few individual pans that you use often, rather than a set -- especially larger sets -- which generally include stuff you don't want / won't use. You can add to your cookware gradually, as needed.

Not clear why you are wanting to use small pans on your front hobs, rather than in back. Can you explain that?

The smaller (2 qt.) pots are probably best used on either of the two rear hobs, which are smaller. [I have two ScanPan frying/saute pans (about 10"; I forget) for use on either front hob without problems; and a Favorit pan, and one by Marcus, in the back; they're all fine.]

There are threads here about induction cookware. Briefly, people tend to like LeCreuset, Staub, Walmart's Tramontina (sp?), and Ikea's Favorit lines. I understand Costco had a set available recently (and maybe still) that works with induction as well. Those old threads will give additional suggestions.

Thank you for your reply chac mool. As to why I want to use smaller pans on the front burners, - only because that is what I tend to do now on my regular stove. When I make sauces etc it is generally always on the front burners where it is easy to stir, tend to and get to. But maybe it is just a habit thing - something I could just as well do on the back burners.... time will tell I guess. I will look at the IKEA lines. I love the scanpan unfortunately they are a bit out of my price range.

I had a large set of very expensive Demeyere pots and pans. I sold all but for one large soup/pasta pot.

or my everyday cooking, I have been almost exclusively using Le Creuset. They work AMAZING with Induction. A lot of pots and pans say they are "Induction Compatible". Le Creuset is "Induction Perfect". I am blown away how great they work on on my Induction Cooktop!

Dansker,

Before getting induction, I probably would have put smaller pans on the front (larger) burners too, because its easier. But habits can change; its not much of a bother, really -- I hadn't given this much thought before.

Take your time; start with one or a few pieces to replace those you can't live without, then gradually add pieces as needed over time. Watch for sales. Smaller sets, of two or three pans, could be a good fit; I think larger sets are too often filled with stuff you seldom use.

After induction, you may end up cooking and eating differently in other ways as well.

I get away with using my 2qt (?) Lagostina Roma on my front burners of this range. It's only 6.25" across on the bottom, but it still seems to register on both front burners.
I agree about stirring stuff on the back burners... it did take some getting used to the first time I made white sauce. Quite far back there, with the controls out in front.
