Is this pan compatible with an induction cooktop? It needs to be magnetic stainless steel. Thanks!

I bought mine for the barbecue and it works great, however don't have experience with induction stove tops. Stainless material is not magnetic and you might want to research the carbon steel paella pan which is the classic traditional pan used, but it's not suitable for ceramic stove tops or Aga stoves or similar cooking ranges because of its concave bottom. La Tienda is a Spanish speciality store in Williamsburg, Virginia with an on-line web site and sells different pans. You could call them directly regarding induction cooktop use. Happy cooking!

Sorry, but I really don't have any knowledge of induction cooktops. The outside surface of the pan is stainless steel. Hope that helps...

According to Wikipedia, "Stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface." So I placed a magnet onto the base of my pan. It stuck very forcefullyl. I conclude the pan IS induction compatible.

I would assume that it will work with an Induction stove but I don't have an induction stove so I can't say for sure. I've never put a magnet to the pan so I can't answer this question. You will have to ask the manufacturer as to the materials used in the production of the pan. All I can tell you is I bought this pan to fry and scramble eggs in the morning and it performs very well at that task.

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

Hi Ray, to my understanding a pan must be metallic to be used on an induction stove. This is stainless steel, a magnet will stick to it but not well.i hope this helps you in some way good luck. I do love this pan

Yes, I have a Samsung Induction Cooktop and this pan works very well. The heat conduction is perfect!! Hope this helps :)

NO this does not work on an induction cooktop! Hint #1 magnet does not stick to the bottom of pan. Hint#2: when placed on induction surface, the cooktop has trouble detecting an object. It may connect sporadically, but you will be lucky if the water gets warm.

No, you cannot cook in this pan on an induction burner. It is not magnetic, and will therefore not work. The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless steel , Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless steel cookware manufactured after 2010, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron and Enamel Cast Iron cookware are all induction capable. Induction cook tops contain high-frequency electromagnets. In order to generate heat, the cookware used with induction cook tops must also contain magnetic elements. Generally, if a magnet adheres to cookware, the cookware is induction capable. A magnet will not adhere to this pan, but just to be sure, I pulled out our portable induction unit and tried it again before I answered your question. It's wonderful cookware - I have a whole set of it - but it was a deal-breaker in our remodel last year when I discovered it was not compatible to the induction kitchen we were planning. We went back with gas. . .

I believe it has to be magnetic to use on induction stovetops and I don't think that applies to this particular pot. I love mine but I don't have an induction stovetop.

I have never even looked this up before or knew about what you were talking about. I looked it up on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking. I just put a magnet on the pan you are asking about and it sticks fine! I never use aluminum or copper, neither of which will stick to magnets well. This cookware works great on my induction stove top as do all my other pans, iron skillets and heavy cookware from Germany. Hope this helps.

I don't have an induction stove top, but the magnet won't stick to this so am assuming that it won't work.

The bottom is not magnetic. I am not sure about induction stove top, seems to me must be OK. I did not try. Best wishes :)

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.

Sadly this pot is not compatible with an induction cooktop. This information should've been included, in the product description, by amazon. I found the answer by going to the Cuisinart website. Hope this helps.

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....?
