Unlike cast iron or glass ceramic stovetops, induction cooktops use copper-wire induction coils. These generate electromagnetic fields that convert into heat directly in the base of the cookware.
This means less risk of burns — since the surface of the cooktop doesn’t get as hot. And because preheating isn't necessary, you save both energy and valuable time.
Fissler CookStar® Base
The exclusive, energy-efficient Fissler CookStar® base is suitable for all stovetops and optimized for induction. It is extra thick and solid, ensuring optimal heat absorption, distribution, and retention. Thanks to its long-lasting heat storage, energy input can be reduced before the end of cooking — making cookware with the CookStar® base especially energy-efficient.
Another advantage lies in the integrated star-shaped expansion grooves in the CookStar® base. They provide exceptional base stability for stainless steel cookware. The pots remain perfectly flat on the cooktop when heated, ensuring even cooking.
Fissler Superthermic® Base
The Superthermic® base is suitable for all stovetops, including induction. It provides even heat absorption, distribution, and retention across the entire base surface — allowing energy to be used with maximum efficiency.
