Understanding the Sounds of Stainless Steel Cookware: Why They Happen and How to Prevent Warping
The sound you hear from stainless steel cookware can come from both induction and fire (gas or electric heat sources), but the cause of the sound may vary slightly depending on the type of heat source you're using.
1. Thermal Expansion
When stainless steel cookware heats up, the metal expands.
What it means: These sounds are a natural result of the metal adjusting to the heat. It’s perfectly safe and a sign that your cookware is responding to temperature changes. As long as your cookware isn’t warping or showing signs of damage, this is completely normal.
Cookware warping is primarily caused by extreme and rapid temperature changes, such as washing a hot pan in cold water or cooking on high heat, which can cause uneven expansion and contraction of the metal.
2. Vibration from Cooking Surfaces
If you’re cooking on an electric or induction stovetop, the heat source can sometimes cause the cookware to vibrate slightly, especially if the surface is smooth or slightly uneven. This can also produce a humming or ringing sound.
What it means: It’s just a response to the cooking surface or the heat source. As long as there’s no visible warping or rattling, it’s harmless.
