Has anyone tried this griddle on an Induction Cooktop? I'm trying to find out if a magnet adheres to the bottom of it. Can anyone tell me?

A magnet definitely sticks to the bottom. I've had this griddle over 2 years now, and I absolutely love it. I accidentally left a burner on and had a grease burn on the bottom that would not soak off. I used Barkeeper's Friend. and it looks brand new.

I have the griddle - I just tried it and a magnet does stick to the bottom.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

Mine works great on my induction stove top. I love it! Just make sure that the burner is not more than 1" larger in diameter or 1" smaller in diameter of the pot. They say that can cause the stove top to crack, although I've never had any problems. I think I've probably got 3/4" of the burner showing surrounding this cooker.

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

a magnet did attract to the bottom. That doesn't work with my original 70's pots. I haven't used it on my induction cooktop, assuming this was like the older stuff...go figure.

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.

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

IF there isnt ANY steel on the bottom it will NOT work with the induction cooktop! We have a few induction burners and a magnet MUST stick/hold well to the bottom of the pot for it to work. IF this is a true stainless as the title says, it WILL NOT work on an induction burner.

My understanding is that if a magnet sticks to a surface, it will work with induction. I just pulled a magnet on the fridge to check for you and it does stick to the pan. I don't know why you would want to use this on a cooktop, but yes, it appears you could.

Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

have not used on an induction cooktop but a magnet will attach to the bottom of the pot.

I have an induction cooktop. The pan works just fine. The pan has a built in steel disk. --It is a very nice pan, you will like it.

I don't have an induction cook top. But searching for how to check, multiple websites say to hold a magnet to the bottom and see how strongly it is attracted. I did that and the magnet was attracted just as strongly as against my refrigerator. That bodes well for an induction top. I'd recommend contacting Kitchen Aid directly and check with them.

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

Since this has a raised lip all around the griddle side, I'm betting that it will not work on the induction stove top very well. Because the grill side has the ridges, you could put that side down and use the griddle side for cooking, but I would look for a different option if I were you, as this kind of eliminates the whole dual purpose of this piece.
