Induction Adapter Mat KingHoff KH-1697 — adapter mat for use on induction cooktops

KingHoff KH-1697 induction adapter mat is a flat heat-transfer interface created for use on induction cooktops to allow non‑induction cookware to work on magnetic hobs. The mat is placed directly on the induction surface and conducts heat from the cooktop to pans that would otherwise be incompatible, expanding the range of usable pots and pans without changing the existing cookware.

Advantages

The adapter mat provides a practical solution for households with mixed cookware by enabling safe and stable heat transfer from an induction hob to non‑induction pans. It helps avoid the immediate need to replace expensive cookware and can reduce friction and surface wear between pot bases and the cooktop. The design supports even heat distribution across the contact area and is straightforward to place and remove for daily use.

Suitable for

• Pots and pans made from non‑magnetic metals such as aluminum or copper
• Small kitchens and rental properties where replacing cookware is impractical
• Temporary use with specialty cookware like glass or ceramic-bottomed pots
• Households that combine gas, electric and induction cookware

Key specifications

• Function: thermal interface for induction cooktops to enable use of non‑induction cookware
• Form factor: flat circular or rectangular mat designed to sit between hob and pan
• Material properties: heat-conductive layer compatible with induction heat transfer and durable surface to reduce abrasion
• Thermal performance: facilitates transfer of magnetic-field-generated heat from induction surface to pot base
• Compatibility: works with most domestic induction hobs when correctly centered under the pan
• Cleaning: surface suitable for wiping; resistant to typical kitchen temperatures during use

How to use

Place the adapter mat flat on the cold induction hob surface, ensuring it is centered in the cooking zone you intend to use. Put the non‑induction cookware on top of the mat, centering the pot or pan so the contact area aligns with the active induction zone. Turn on the hob using a medium heat setting at first, monitor heating to achieve desired temperature, and adjust power as needed. After cooking, allow the mat and hob to cool before lifting the cookware and removing the mat. Clean the mat according to the manufacturer's care instructions before next use.

Usage recommendations

Do not slide heavy cookware across the mat to avoid scratching the hob surface; lift and place instead. Always use the mat only on induction zones that match the size of the cookware to maintain efficient heating. Avoid sudden high-power settings until you confirm stable heating, and follow routine cleaning to prevent food residues from affecting heat transfer.
