Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

My range has a glass cook top however, it is my understanding is that an induction cook top is not the same as a glass cook top. So I did the 'magnet' test and found that a magnet does NOT cling to the base of the kettle. I hope that helps.

Yes and no. I used this kettle happily on my old induction range for years and it worked great. I moved and got a new induction cooktop (different model), and the kettle didn't work well on it. I agree with the other answerer who points to the ridge on the underside as the culprit. The bottom does sit flat, but the circular ridge interrupts the continuity of the bottom surface. So, you take your chances with this one.

It is sold on the theinductionsite.com, which has a wealth of information about induction cooking, so I'd venture to say that, yes, it will work in induction stove tops. Cast iron is ideal for induction cooking as having a high ferrous content, it does well with the electromagnetism that creates the source of heat with the vessel being used for cooking.

Nope. My kettle works wonderfully on my gas stove at highest heat. No melting, no discoloring, nothing. It's great!

I have only used it on gas. I would make sure you have a metal coil between the stove top and the kettle. I am not sure that the kettle can take the direct heat. Also, my kettle was short lived. The top cracked as I was putting it on the kettle. It is now a vase.

I bought Analon stainless for an induction stove top that is electric. I have no idea how Analon that is designed for induction cook tops might work on a gas stove. I would like to know how you do induction with gas?

I have a gas stove -- but I don't see any problem with using it on an induction stove top.

Sorry, I used it on electric and gas burners only but I see no problem with induction. Good cooking.

Yes this kettle works on an induction cooktop. We bought it precisely for this reason and it works beautifully! It isn't that the bottom needs to be magnetic, but rather that the kettle bottom will respond to the magnetic field generated by the induction cooktop (this distinction is probably lost on most people). So if a magnet sticks to the bottom, or it says that it works with induction, it will work for your cooktop. Enjoy!

No, it does not. It is just a basic whistling kettle that heats up on the hob; good quality, but does not work on induction.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful

All I can tell you is that we use gas range and with the copper core my wife loves it. She said it heats the water extremely faster than her old kettle. Sorry I can not give you a better answer but I'm not very familure with the induction top.

Let me start by saying I am not 100% positive but I would say no. The bottom of the kettle has a ridge so it's not perfectly flat and therefore would not sit on the induction burner like a regular pot would. I would recommend emailing manufacturer directly for positive confirmation. I hope this helps.

I have a gas stove but it is a standard stainless steel pot. if you can use other SS cookwear with induction, you should be OK. I hope so bucause it's a nice little item!

I do not have an induction cook top. This was a gift for our son in law. He has a gas stove top and absolutely Loves the pot.
