Does this work on a induction cooktop? If a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work

Yes, this can be used on an induction cook top. Just beware of scratching the cook top surface, as the enameled pans are rougher or grittier than stainless steal.

I use my grill on my induction cooktop. If you want a great tip for cleaning pans, Bar Keeper's Friend is outstanding.

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon. Image

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

I believe it does. I don't own an induction stove top but it says it will work on induction tops in the description.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content).http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

A magnet sticks to it. I haven't tried it on my induction top yet. If a magnet sticks, it should work.

If the base will hold a magnet, it will work on an induction cooktop. This was my question also

since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is... » Read More since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. « Show Less

Induction cook tops require the bottom of any pot or pan to be magnetic. This cookware has an aluminum base infused between two layers of stainless steel. Using a magnet I personally Checked for magnetic properties. The bottom of the pan is non magnetic therefore, it probably will not work on an induction type range.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

This does NOT work on an induction cooktop. The previous answer is incorrect.

Magnet sticks to bottom of pans! You are in business on the induction stove top. Good luck!

No!!! It has to have a magnetic bottom for the unit to work. any cast iron pot or pan works. Any pot or pan that is said to be induction ready will work. I have bought 2 0r 3 pans at Walmart but you need to take a magnet with you to test the pan. Even an aluminum or stainless pot or pan that a magnet will stick to works because their is an iron layer sandwiched between the other metals. I have been very very happy with my pic cooktop I got from Amazon and bought it for half the cost of getting it off TV ads because they kill you on the shipping and handling... Hope this helps...

Good question. I just tried a magnet on the bottom of the pan and it did stick. I don't know if the weight of the pan would damage the range top but yes it will stick so it will work on an induction range.

The answer is NO, this is not magnetic. I got out my trusty magnet to check and it did not adhere at all to the bottom. This is a great pan, but NOT for induction cooktops.

Yes, it should. I don't have an induction cooktop, but a magnet sticks to it, and I believe that is the test for pans.

To elaborate a little further. Induction compatible cookware is made with ferris metals. So after trying to stick a magnet to the bottom of the pot it did not stick. Also newer cooking ware is often labeled as induction suitable as my new set is, and after testing those with a magnet the magnet stuck. So again. This pot does not work with an induction cooktop.
