What's the difference between this stck pot and the 766-26 Chefs Classic besides the former being induction compatible and a bit more expensive?

2 things, multiclad is heavier duty and one piece with aluminum core. Classic is thinner and bottom welded/pressed to pot.

The induction surface is 10 inches in diameter. Any pot that has a bottom that size or less will work. Our stock pot is 8 quarts and it works very well.

Randy H. I am so sorry for my previous post. I gave the Lindy 47444-7 pot as a gift and ordered the Demeyere Resto 6.3-qt. Stainless Steel Tea Kettle for myself. That is the one I tested here at home-it is induction ready and by the way a fantastic teapot. The Lindy pot is not in my possession. I am so very sorry for the mix up.

NO It clearly states all types EXCEPT INDUCTION.I will tell you this pot is great but the bottom is not the "normal"material used in the higher end T-FAL.It will warp at high temperatures.Unfortunately is only comes (by T-Fal)in this "C" series.

You'd better ask someone else. I threw the pot away because it didn't work with my new induction stove.

We use induction so I don't know if that would make a differnce. I boiled water for 10 minutes just to see and they handles didn't get hot. Not even warm! My only concern is where the handles are. With the lid on, there is a gap. No doubt so they are stackable. If you were to cook rice, it might present a problem because you really need a tight fitting lid. The lid fits well but again, there is that gap. I have a rice cooker so this isn't a problem for me. My go to pot. Perfect weight. Very happy with my purchase.

Both sets bring about the same qualiy and ease of use to the table. My biggest reason for buying the processional set was for the same reason as the previous reviewer did - to use with induction stove tops. SInce the professional series as a stainless steel bottom, it can be used for induction cooking. i recently purchased a Nuwave induction cooktop and I must say...i can't ever see myself going without. If you never see yourself using an induction stove top, then the ultimate series may be of more use to you since as the "non-stick" surface is supposed to be tough enough to handle metal cookware. THe ultimate cannot be used for induction cooking, however, as it's made of anodized aluminum which does not share the same exchange of ions as stainless steel does.

The stainless steel of both the inner and outer pots are magnetic. The outer pot is super heavy duty, ferrous, and very magnetic. If this meets the induction criteria then you are good to go. I didn't buy this double boiler for the induction feature so you will have to make your own conclusion. Off the top of my head I would say that the outer pot, for sure, would work well in an induction situation. The inner used in conjunction with the outer will do the job it was designed for. HC

It depends what kind of cooker you have, make sure search on the website if that cooker have megnetic bottom so it can support induction.

Another major difference - Nouvelle is one of the best aluminum pans for induction, Advanced doesn't work on induction at all. It lacks a steel induction plate.

Nearly all stainless steel is induction compatible with the exception of some higher end aluminum/stainless blend. This is not particularity special stainless and would likely work at some level. I did the magnet test and the magnet did not stick so the performance would likely suffer making it difficult to boil 7 or 8 gallons. If you get this pot, clean it thoroughly to remove all residual coating from manufacture. Tighten all fittings. The fittings look like neoprene. A good hand tightening should be all that is necessary and is all I did. The diameter is approximately 13" and is 13.5" high.

They are both 8 Qt, so one must have a heavier gauge stainless steel, or maybe it has the what is it called, no-scratch interior which may be a heavier pot. The one I bought had the black no scratch interior and is very heavy...I did not like it, but it was too much trouble to send it back. I prefer the stainless steel interior.

I do not have an induction cook top, but I have seen this pot in a hotel kitchen that had an induction cook top. So my guess is that they are compatible.

Yes this Faberware Classic Stainless Steal is induction compatible. All stainless steal is not compatible, I thought it was but not all. These are though. They work great.

No it is not. The Cuisinart.com web site displays which types of heat can be used. Chef's Classic and Contour are not induction approved.

It's hard to say if it's better or not... That's very subjective. This is a high quality aluminum stock pot; fairly thick and durable. Much cheaper than a comparable size SS pot, and aluminum conducts heat better.Is it better? I wouldn't say one is better than the other, but for the price, you can't go wrong. This is a great pot for 5 gallon full boils.

I have a Samsung Induction cooktop so I cannot answer your question but I do not see why your brand would be any different....as long as the pots can work with induction.
