Will this kettle work on an Induction Cooktop? I've purchased 3 so far-they passed the magnet test, however-didn't work on my cooktop...

I'm repeating this answer everywhere I see a question regarding an induction range or cook top so I hope people don't get tired of seeing it. I have a GE Profile Induction Range and this tea kettle "does" work. The bottom of the teapot is almost 9" across. There is a copper disc in the center, 2.5" across, that is slightly recessed (and obviously would not touch the glass of an induction range top). Around that disc is a 2-1/4" across band of stainless (which is the only portion of this teapot bottom that touches the range top). Around that is an outer band, width 1", that is recessed 1/4" (and does not touch the range top). So, you have from center to outer edge, a copper disc (slightly recessed), a stainless band (that touches the range top), and then an outer recessed band (that does not touch the range top). The center disc is measured not from center point but in it's entirety. All combined these 3 components make up the almost 9" of surface on the bottom of the teapot. Rest assured the amount of stainless that touches the cook top is plenty sufficient. I'm very happy with this tea kettle.

All I can tell you is that we use gas range and with the copper core my wife loves it. She said it heats the water extremely faster than her old kettle. Sorry I can not give you a better answer but I'm not very familure with the induction top.

Hi Steve, I checked with other shoppers. and if you apply a magnet to the bottom of the kettle you can use it with an induction stove. Hope this helps.

Yep! Works great on my glass-top stove. Don't know about induction ranges, though--mine is a standard electric. I also used it on my old coil-type electric stove with no problem. In fact, I think there's a gas stove version that has a different bottom...but don't hold me to that! I love this tea kettle--it's easy to clean, heats up fast, and has a great classic look.

I do not have an induction cooktop but is planning to have one in the future. That is the reason I bought the Sitram although mine is stainless steel not copper. Stainless steel will also not work on induction but the Sitram has an iron core that is designed to work on induction.

I have never used an induction cooktop but I understand that it only works with ferromagnetic metals. Carbon steel generally is but it can depend on how much carbon in it. My opinion is the wok should work, a magnet does stick to it but you might want to consult the manual for the cooktop just to be sure.

I have an induction cooktop, but my daughter has used this tea kettle on a gas stove for six years. It looks great and works well.

Hi Mark, yes, it works on induction cooktops (I have one), but it of course won't work as well as if you had a gas stove instead. You can still make great stir-fries and other dishes with it though! Despite having an induction cooktop (I really miss having a gas one), I'm really happy with my wok and happy that I purchased it. So I definitely highly recommend buying it! Plus, the business owners are really nice too! When I had questions about mine, I emailed them. They were so kind and helpful! :)

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...

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon.Image

...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.

Sorry I am not familiar with an induction cooktop, I use it on coil burners. Works Great.

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

Hi Heidi, yes it definitely works on an induction stove top. I use this on my induction stove top. Mine has a huge burner that I thought I would never have a pan large enough to use the burner with. Well this pan fit the bill. I like to use the lid as a skillet. It works very well.

Wikipedia says that stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. I tested this pot with a refrigerator magnet and it did not stick. Based on that, I think that this pot is not usable on an induction cooktop. None of the literature that came with the pot made mention of an induction cooktop.

I have an induction cooktop. The pan works just fine. The pan has a built in steel disk. --It is a very nice pan, you will like it.

Dear S. F., Thank you for your inquiry. The stainless steel skillets will work on an induction stove top. We hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Regards, Susie Consumer Relations

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
