    Cheapies doesn't come into it. If a pan has a magnetic base (and is over 13cm) it will operate on an induction hob. No cost implication, magnetic pans can be cheapies or not.
    They may "operate" but that doesn't mean they work as good as others.

    No quite, but the point was that just because something is cheap doesn't mean it isn't induction.
  • Final follow up.
    The old hob has a defective PCB and now the front left has gone, B&Q in Bishopbriggs has told me they will replace it fully as both have now failed, it's a shame the store I bought collected it from (Great Western Retail Park, Glasgow) weren't as helpful, I would've had a fully working one a month ago.

    I am well aware of that - my point is that cheap induction pans don’t work as well as more expensive items as a rule.
    Cheap pans don’t tend to sit flat as pointed out, and are made of cheaper metal in a lesser quantity.

    I’m well aware that you can get cheap induction pans :)

    The op states the pans are induction ready.
    I know, that wasn’t my point - see above.
    My parents had a nightmare with cheap induction pans :)
