Is it aluminum, stainless steel, or cast iron? If SS, does a magnet stick to the bottom of the pan? If so, it will work on an induction burner.

Sorry I am away for a few weeks and can't try your test. It is coated with ceramic EXCEPT the bottom and is supposed to work on glass top stoves (I have used it only on standard). Sorry I couldn't be much help but maybe another customer has experience with induction tops............

I believe it's iron so it should be fine to use on an induction burner. It is not stainless steel as it does hold a magnet! I have used this for many things.. Smoking meats to reheating steamed crabs. Heavy duty base, the lid could be aluminum. Hope this helps.

No, you cannot cook in this pan on an induction burner. It is not magnetic, and will therefore not work. The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless steel , Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless steel cookware manufactured after 2010, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron and Enamel Cast Iron cookware are all induction capable. Induction cook tops contain high-frequency electromagnets. In order to generate heat, the cookware used with induction cook tops must also contain magnetic elements. Generally, if a magnet adheres to cookware, the cookware is induction capable. A magnet will not adhere to this pan, but just to be sure, I pulled out our portable induction unit and tried it again before I answered your question. It's wonderful cookware - I have a whole set of it - but it was a deal-breaker in our remodel last year when I discovered it was not compatible to the induction kitchen we were planning. We went back with gas. . .

No, you cannot use this pan on an induction stove because it is made of anodized aluminum. You have to have a cast iron or a stainless steel pan that a magnet will stick to. I have an induction burner and I can only use a few of my pans on it. Be aware that not all stainless steel will work - test with a magnet! If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, you can use it.

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.

I looked up induction burner on Wikipedia and it says any ferromagnetic metal will work. I tested my pans with one of my wife's refridgerator magnets and it stuck very well. I guess that means it should work.

This is aluminum and not ferromagnetic material as is required for induction. An interface disk could be used to make this poacher work on an induction burner.

Yes it will on an induction burner. The bottom is completely flat and I was able to stick a magnet to it.This is very difficult to clean! It is very narrow. Also I think this is more like 12 ounces, it certainly is not 12 cups.

No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal. As is copper. Cast iron or stainless steel may be used on induction cooktops. akb <+)))><

To work with an induction cooktop a pan must contain iron which responds to a magnetic field. If a pan is made of aluminum, copper or non-magnetic metal, it isn't compatible with an induction cooktop. Check to see what the pan in question is made of.

I have not tried it on an induction stove as I have not used one of those yet, but reading about those stoves I found these as a short form of guide for whether some cooking device will work with it: "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface." (on Wikipedia) and "Your cast-iron skillet is a sure bet, and much of your stainless steel should work fine, too. If you aren't sure if your cookware will work, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of it. If it sticks, you're in business." - I quickly double-checked the pan with a magnet, and it definitely stuck to it. So yes, it should work on induction stoves.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content).http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

Presto's manual mentions only one functional advantage: stainless steel will work on an induction burner. I believe the aluminum spreads heat better.

if you have an induction cook top- rule of thumb is a magnet must be able to stick to the bottom of the pan. There are many different qualities of cast iron. Some do not have enough real iron in them to use.....Induction works on magnetic field for conduction.If its just an electric glass top- it will scratch if your cast iron has no protective coating.

I just got the set today. It works perfectly with my induction burner! The pans are made of aluminum, but the bottom of the pan is steel, which enables it to work on an induction burner.

This pan is suitable for glass top, electric element, or gas ranges. Since it is aluminum however, it will not work on magnetic induction glass top burners.

To work with an induction cooktop, the pan needs to have an iron, steel, or magnetic stainless bottom. This griddle is described as all aluminum, which will not magnetize and therefore will not heat up on an induction cooktop.

Yes. It has a layer of stainless steel on the bottom of the pans. Not magnetic grade, which is best for induction burners, but is enough to compliment the aluminum body, which retains heat quite evenly. I think for $20, it's a good deal. That being said, you get what you pay for. Even if you end up not liking it as much in the long run, it works well on other cooktops, someone would appreciate the gift. **(if you're ever at a shop browsing for pans, bring a small fridge magnet with you and test the bottom of the pans to see if it sticks. if it does, chances are, it's a high quality metal for induction compatibilty.)
