The vessel has to be ferrous but it is very turn on and offable almost as good as gas. On my hob you can set the temperature in 5 deg steps very repeatable and I suspect quite accurate

awemawson:
I was careful not to stress the ferrous thing as I wasn't sure with these domestic induction devices or what frequency they work at.

My commercial induction furnace will melt non-ferrous metals - it works at about 3,000 Hz

appletree:
I was a bit surprised as you would have though circulating eddy currents were just that regardless of the vessel material.
I wonder if it is something in the "protection circuit" of the hob as it can determine the pan material as soon as you power up and display an error code before you try todo anything.
