How hot can my Frigidaire electric induction cook top heat up to?
https://cooking.stackexchange.com/a/99595
Heating nonstick pans above 500°F or 260°C will burn off the nonstick coating
I own the Frigidaire FFED3025PW 30" Drop-In Electric Range with Expandable Elements. I'm using nonstick pans just on the cook top, not inside the oven. Can my cook top and nonstick pan reach anywhere near 260C?
Best Answer
Yes, absolutely it can get hotter than that.
Per Reviewed:
On average, induction cooktops reach a maximum temperature of 665.5°F
While I don't know the specifics of your model (call Frigidaire and ask), high heat is one of the reasons people buy induction ranges. I would be very surprised if it wasn't capable of heating your pans past 260C/500F, and very quickly too.
Some induction cooktops have a "temperature" setting on each element as well as a wattage, but even if yours does, I'll warn you not to trust that temperature setting at the top of its range. It's an estimate.
So yes, you need to be careful not to overheat your nonstick pans. Take the usual precautions: don't heat them empty, to leave them on the heat without watching, etc.

Contrary to popular belief, induction cooktops can get hot, but only because the heat is transferring from the cooking pot to the glass through conduction, much as a hot pan would transfer heat to a countertop if you set it down to rest. As soon as you remove the pot, that heating stops.What are the disadvantages of induction cooking?
