Why do only ferromagnetic metals work on induction stoves?
That’s not quite true. Stainless steel pans work fine, and are not significantly ferromagnetic.
What is needed is a pan whose electrical conductivity matches the design range of the hob for maximum power transfer. Being too low (ceramics) or too high (copper and aluminium) does not allow maximum power transfer.
That’s not a fundamental limitation, though. Induction hobs can be designed to work with copper and aluminium pans, and high-end ones already will configure themselves to match a wider range of conductances, at a cost of greater complexity and price.
You wouldn’t want to be near an induction hob that can induce heat in ceramics, though. That sounds rather like an upward facing microwave source, and difficult to control.
