OK, new toy, well new for me, so first thing I do is to test what pans I already have, Google says anything magnetic will work, but dont use cooper or metal thats not magnetic.

So, out with a speaker magnet, Omega Bose Sub if you must know, and sadly most pans fail the magnetic test, but zirk being zirk, thought I would test some of the non magnetic ones, an sure enough most work, Stainlees Steel Wok and some Cooper based ones heat up water a trick, despite failing the magnet test.

So what the crack here, is it a case of if it works, it works, or am I likely doing damage to the hob but not using the recommended pans.

Common materials include stainless steel multi-ply, stainless steel with a ferrous base welded to the bottom of the pan, cast aluminium
with ferrous base, mild steel (black iron) and cast iron. If your copper pans have a ferrous content, they`re perfectly acceptable to use. Any pan with a ferrous content will heat the contents quicker than pans with no ferrous content.

Is that a kitchen appliance? Sorry, I'm not sure where the kitchen is, so you appear to be talking gibberish

If you're really attached to your pans, you can use one of  these Basically a ferrous plate with a handle on that goes between hob & pan
