Does the 12" skillet have a stainless steel induction (magnetic) base?

Can't speak to the 12" skillet, but the base on the 8" skillet is non-magnetic

As long as you use a skillet with good heat distribution, you can effectively use a 12 inch skillet. But if you put water in a 12 inch skillet and heat it up, you'll see that the area being heated is about 5 inches in the center. I own several induction cooktops, and they all seem to have their heating area confined to the same 5 inch region.

The bottom is stainless steel but I'm not sure if it's magnetic. You should get an induction disc so you can use more pans

I don't believe you can as Induction cooking requires pots with a layer of magnetic properties. I believe it has to be stainless steel or cast iron. There must not be any aluminum in them. Watch that your stainless steel pots and pans do not have aluminum in them.

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.)

No. The 1-Quart Contour Saucepan does not test induction ready. I tried the magnet test on my pan.The test is whether a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan. Use any magnet you have handy even a refrigerator magnet. If the magnet clings to the pan then you have induction ready cookware. If the magnet does not attach or clings only weakly then the pan will not work well for induction cooking.You will want to get Cuisinart MultiClad Pro or Tri-Ply pans for Induction Cooking.

Sorry - I answered it wrong the first time. The inner layer is steel. The base is also magnetic steel - it works well on induction. You will be cooking in steel - I do not use aluminum either.

Just found this for you......Induction-compatible cookware contains ferromagnetic materials - in other words, it contains iron, or has a layer with magnetic properties. Cast iron, enamel cast iron and most types of stainless steel cookware are all induction compatible (But not all types - for instance, All-Clad's MC2 line, which is made of aluminum and stainless steel, is not induction compatible).

As JAYMIS indicates the induction logo is on the bottom. I can confirm that the base of the pressure cooker is ferromagnetic. This is a very good example of a pressure cooker. Ive owned several.

Sorry, but I just tested this set with a magnet and it is NOT induction friendly. Cuisinart's fully clad pans may be, but this wedge-bottom set is not.

Yes, it is stainless steel and the box indicates it works on an induction surface.

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...

No, no, no. Most stainless cookware will not work on induction ranges that require pans to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan it indicates induction compatibility. All cast iron qualifies. If a stainless steel, ceramic or other pan qualifies, the manufacturer will surely proclaim that feature.

No. The manufacturer says the 12-piece set is compatible with all cooktops except induction..Alot of people are putting the wrong answers on here...

Yes stainless. Manufacturers now mark the bottom of the cookware with an icon to indicate that it is induction ready. Any pot or pan that will hold a magnet on the bottom is suitable. Some stainles steel is ferrous (magnetic) and some is not.

A 12" lodge cast iron skillet is 7.2 lbs, these steel pans will be a lot less I'm guessing after the 4.5lb reply.

The best stainless steel is NOT magnetic, and it will work perfectly on an induction range. The magnet test is not the final answer, although if it is magnetic is should work as well.
