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 GE induction cooktop. It works fine, since it is carbon steel. Induction works by causing the ferrous molecules in a utensil to vibrate, creating heat. The quick and easy test for whether a pot or pan will work with induction is to put a magnet on it. If it sticks, there is enough ferrous metal in the pan, such as with ceramic clad utensils. I use carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans on my induction top.

...ehh...I would say no. Induction works by using magnetic fields. Use a magnet on the bottom of your cookware to test if it's 'induction-ready'. If it sticks, you're good to go. Concerning this kettle, the answer is no. It has an amazing weak magnetic attraction.

Yes, the pamphlet that came with it states, "Use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always lift cookware to move." Hope that helps.

I have not tried it on an induction cooktop. I use a cast iron tea candle holder with this teapot, and it will keep the tea warm for several hours. I think the instructions on the box said not to use on a stove to boil water in the pot, but if you have already brewed the tea, you might be able to keep it warm on the very lowest setting on an induction cooktop.

So, I just went into my kitchen to test this out. A magnet WILL stick to the tea kettle. I have a gas stove top so I am unable to comment on the induction cook top. But i LOVE this Tea kettle. It holds enough water to fill a french press for coffee AND a tea pot. I have used and abused this for over a year and it still looks as great as the day I got it. Hope this helps!

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.

Hello Vickie,Thank you for your inquiry. No that will not work on an induction stovetop. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

There is a version for gas and electric stoves. The gas version which is pictured has the heat exchanger as an integral part of the product, so it is only appropriate for a gas stove top and would not work on an electric stovetop. I find the gas stove version of the kettle heats quickly on medium heat saving energy.

Sorry, I have a gas stove. I really don't know anything about induction stoves. Hope you can find someone to help you.

I use mine on both a gas and a glass topped electric. Perhaps that is an induction top, I don't know. It works well on both of my surfaces.

I don't have an induction stove top, but to help answer your question, it does not have a magnetic base so I don't think this will work on an induction stove.

We've used it on a gas and electric stove but don't have an induction stove so couldn't tell you...

Yes, I bought this for my mother and she has an induction. It works well. Pending someone else saying the pain chips, I have this kettle as does my mother and our paint has remained intact with no chips.

yes, it is made specifically for gas stove...see those perforated holes on the bottom? that's to conduct & distribute heat better for gas stove top. For electric stove tops, the kettle has a flat metal bottom without the holes.
