Having problems with cooking on induction hob

I love my induction hob. I've found it brilliant to cook on and super easy to keep clean. It's very powerful, though, especially on the 'boost' setting.

I don't use non-stick pans (as I don't want to accidentally scratch and eat the coating). I have a set of heavy cast iron ones, that I hand wash, and a set of Ikea stainless steel, that are fine in the dishwasher.

One hob kettle I bought didn't last long. It was supposed to be dishwasher friendly but the outside coating started to flake off. I know to never put cold water in a hot pan as it can cause warping, also to dry any water on the hob - to prevent pans sliding off!

My Lakeland non-stick ones work perfectly on my induction hob, as do older stainless steel ones. As others say, I do fill them with water after cooking, then put them in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

I only use stainless steel pans on my induction hob, and have never had any problems. As soon as I've finished cooking, I empty the pan and fill it with warm soapy water, easy and quick to clean. I've never tried non-stick pans on my hob, but used to use them on my old one (non-induction) - I find the stainless steel ones much better and they still look like new .

I also use heavy weight stainless steel on my induction hob. I don't like non stick because the surface on pans I've had in the past always breaks down.
Good quality stainless steel cleans easily and doesn't need non stick surface.
I have a heavy griddle pan from Lakeland which is non stick and that hasn't warped at all.

I’ve had an induction hob for several years now & my favourite pans are strong heavyweight stainless steel ones, I have a set James Martin ones from our local hardware shop, not non stick but clean up really easily. I also have some Ikea ones. The best frying pans I’ve found are the stone ? ones ( sort of a rusty red colour with comfort handle) available in Dunelm and the Range.

Are you heating up pans from cold on the power setting? Start on a medium heat and increase it to higher setting more gradually. My instruction book says the highest settings are too powerful for non stick pans.
After cooking, do you put cold water into the dirty, hot pan?
This can cause warping and stress the not stick coating.
