Can an induction hot plate be used with this pot?

Induction cooking is supposed to work with Stainless steel. I have not, however, confirmed it with this pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

Not an expert but the bottom of the pot is relatively flat so there is no reason it shouldn't work. Induction will work on stainless. I was concerned when I bought this pot that it would be cheap and flimsy but fairly nice pot for the price.

I don't have an induction stove, but I pretty sure induction can be used with any metal. The only difference between stainless steel and any other steel is the curing process of the metal.

We use ours on a gas stove in the RV and for that they are amazing. I can't answer for an induction hot plate though.

I'm not sure. I don't have an induction stove. You'll have to contact the manufacturer of the pan.

You can use any cookware that you would normally use. This is not an induction plate. I would recommend this purchase as it works marvelously!

No, because the pots are made of aluminum, which is not magnetic. Induction cooking uses magnetism to heat up the cookware, which in turn heats the food. These pots can be used on conduction stoves (gas and electric).

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

I don't know. I don't cook with induction. I wouldn't think so, based on the other pots I've used that are hybrid.

No, it can't. I read "stainless steel" in the description and mistakenly assumed both pots were stainless and bought it. If I had seen it in a store I would have read the, "Suitable for all heat sources except induction" on the packaging. Just in case, I put a magnet to the base of the bottom pot and then confirmed it would not stick.

According to another reviewer, this pot is not compatable with induction cooktops. It is stainless but has an aluminum clad bottom.

I don't think so, but not sure, as I don't have induction stove top. That's way I didn't buy induction stove top because only certain pans work on it. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

I don't think so. These pots have an aluminum encapsulated base which should not be used with induction cooktops. You need cast iron, enamel or stainless steel cookware. And even if it were compatible, I would not recommend them at all. The price looked good to me, but now that I'm having to replace them a year later, I wish I'd spent the extra $50 for something better.

It appears you need an "adapter";http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

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 have never used it on an induction range but I don't see why not. One of the many great features of this pan is that it cooks /spreads the heat evenly during cooking which I think would occur as well or better with an induction range.

I don't see why it would not be able to be used on an induction burner. The inductions appear to be smooth ceramic style surface just like my stove top.

I have an electric stove. I do not have experience with induction surfaces. The bottom of the pot is perfectly flat without a design if that helps you make a decision. I've enjoyed my pot for making pasta sauces and soups.

You wouldn't want to. The heat element is in the unit...not a hot plate to sit the pot on. You could fill the pot but would have to heat on something else. Not really recommended for use.
