Is this Induction ready? If a magnet sticks to the bottom, it is.

I'm sorry. they aren't. My daughter has these pans and had to get new ones when she moved into a house with an induction stove.

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

A magnet does stick to the pan, so I am guessing that will tell you what you need to know, though I have not used it with an induction stove. (I hear that they are great -- do they get really hot? I could use that!)

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I can most definitely say that a (refrigerator) magnet will stick to the bottom of this sauce pan.

I don't think so. I just held a big magnet to the bottom of the pot and it didn't "stick".

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...

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

The 3rd picture shows a coil, which is the symbol for induction as someone already said.SS by itself is not induction ready as SS is not magnetic. Usually manufacturers will put a metal bottom on SS pans to make them induction ready.

My wife put a magnet onto the pan and it passed the test so yes it is suppose to work on an induction cooktop.

I just checked and the bottom of the griddle does have magnetic properties. It may not work as well as copper or cast iron, but that should allow the metal to be heated through induction.

They put a different metal coating on the bottom the make it magnetic. My experience, all the non-stick or aluminum with bottom coated materials are iffy with induction (some times they work, some times not). Cast iron and magnetized steel always work.

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

Yes it is. The bottom has steel on the aluminum so it will work on an induction cook top.

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

That is a great question. A magnet adheres to the bottom of the saucepan, not to the sides and not to anything on the double boiler insert. I'm not sure how induction works but that is how the magnet test went.

The way to determine whether or not a pot is compatible with an induction cooktop is by doing the 'magnet test'. If a magnet will NOT adhere to the bottom of the pan (regardless if the sides of the pot stainless steel) then the pot will most likely NOT be compatible with an induction cook top. Which brings me to your answer - no, a magnet will not adhere to the bottom of the pot so it is unlikely this is compatible with an induction cook top.

NO. It does not work with an induction stove, nor does a magnet stick to the bottom.
