Can cast iron be used to cook on an induction cooktop?

Definitely not on a cooktop over 10 years old. Most of the newer cooktops can handle stainless steel, copper, and aluminum pans but I wouldn't use cast iron on any cooktop. Cast iron was originally made before cooktops or even gas ranges. They were made to use in an oven or open fire.

On the Hamilton Beach website it states "Premium die-cast aluminum cookware heats evenly and cooks directly on gas, electric or ceramic stovetops". The aluminum cookware they are referring to is the insert. So unfortunately, it will NOT work on an induction cook top.

Unless I am mistaken, cookware needs to be metallic in order to work on an induction cooktop. This item is ceramic, so no.

No, you cannot use this pan on an induction stove because it is made of anodized aluminum. You have to have a cast iron or a stainless steel pan that a magnet will stick to. I have an induction burner and I can only use a few of my pans on it. Be aware that not all stainless steel will work - test with a magnet! If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, you can use it.

I have not tried it on an induction stove as I have not used one of those yet, but reading about those stoves I found these as a short form of guide for whether some cooking device will work with it: "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface." (on Wikipedia) and "Your cast-iron skillet is a sure bet, and much of your stainless steel should work fine, too. If you aren't sure if your cookware will work, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of it. If it sticks, you're in business." - I quickly double-checked the pan with a magnet, and it definitely stuck to it. So yes, it should work on induction stoves.

Yes. It is cast iron and cast iron is ferromagnetic which means it is compatible. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

I do not have an induction cook-top, but the pot is made of a thin sheet of stainless steel and the base is not that big. I suspect it will not work, but I'm not certain.

Sorry I am not familiar with an induction cooktop, I use it on coil burners. Works Great.

Thank you for your question - unfortunately this set will not function on an induction cooktop as the stainless steel is non-magnetic.

I don't personally have an induction cooktop, so I can't say how well this pot would work with one. However, according to the literature, it is induction cooking ready with a built-in iron disc on the bottom. I can confirm the presence of a nicely flat, heavy disc on the bottom of the pot.

Yes. Induction cooktop is just a flat burner instead of elevated stove eyes. As long as it produces heat then it should work correctly. Although heating/cooking times may vary so keep that in mind.

I don't know. I don't have an induction cooktop so I've never tried to use it on one.

I have not tried this on an induction cooktop. The skillet is made of aluninum so the magnet should not stick to it.

I checked the pan for you and NO it can NOT be used on an induction stove, you need to find a pan with a magnetic grade of stainless steel, if a magnet sticks to the outside of the pan on the area tha touches the stove then you can use it. AGAIN:: THIS PAN WILL NOT WORK ON INDUCTION STOVE TOPS.

This cast Iron Pan is magnetic and it should work on an Induction cooktop. But I am not really sure that it works properly.

I do not have an induction cook top, but these are made of steel, so I do not see why not.
