Can this be used on a NuWave? Can a magnet stick to the bottom of this pan (if it does, it will work on my NuWave! THANK YOU!! :)

Hi, I seldom use the Circulon Contempo pan so I don't know much about it. I am not familiar with NuWave either, but out of curiosity I took a magnet and tried to apply it inside and outside of the pan and it didn't stick at all. I'm not sure if it satisfies your question.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan. As for the handle I do not know as I use my pot for my coffee maker.

I had a magnet here and tried it because a lot of people seem to ask. It did not stick to bottom or sides of pot. This is a pretty good magnet so if a magnet is decider then I say no. Too bad love the pot.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

I could not get a magnet to stick to the bottom of my inner pot. I have what I believe is the newest model--mine has the yogurt-making function. Even if a magnet stuck, you should be aware that the bottom of this pot is concave, not flat, so only the outer-most rim of the bottom would make contact with your stovetop. However, the Instant Pot itself has a "keep warm" function.

I am not sure what the weight limit is...if the pan will fit on the Nuwave I do not see a problem. My innova Pressure cooker was not a problem but because it is not constructed w/ the right metals the new wave would not work.

Good question. I just tried a magnet on the bottom of the pan and it did stick. I don't know if the weight of the pan would damage the range top but yes it will stick so it will work on an induction range.

I have a NuWave induction cooktop and have not problem with any of the pans in this set. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!

No, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on an induction stove. This pan is all aluminum (no clad on the bottom) therefore will not work.

Does not work with induction cooktop. I just opened mine, and it does not attract a magnet at all. Apparently the "steel" in "Stainless Steel" is not iron-with-nickel (which makes no sense to me). The bottom has an aluminum core. Whatever the metallurgy, it is not magnetic and not suitable for induction heating.

I looked up how to tell if it is, if a magnet sticks to it it is an induction pan, I got out my trusty magnet and voila, it stuck, so the answer is yes! I hope this helped:)

Induction cooktops of all brands, work with any cookware that is magnetic ( induction cookware by nature is magnetic). All induction cookers generate a field that excites the magnetic molecules in the cooking device, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. So...whatever it was you read, you are remembering it wrong. I have no knowledge of Nuwave products, other than the horror stories reported on the web.

Yes, this pot does work on NuWave, that was the reason I purchased it, and I luv it!!! I have the NuWave 2 and water does not boil in 90 seconds, but that has nothing to do with the pot, it is great for all your homemade soups, stews, chili, etc. Hope this helps!

I used a magnet and yes it sticks...so maybe it's a ferritic stainless steel? I don't know, all I know is a magnet sticks and I like the pan but the edges are a little rough and do make indentations in my 1/2 sheet pan.

My set is used on a ceramic top range and works fine. I do not know about the Nuwave, sorry.

No, pans must be magnetic. If its just copper clad over a magnetic material it may work. To be sure test pan bottoms with a magnet. Strange thing is most stainless steel is not magnetic but most stainless pans are. Go figure. Test pans first.

I have a nu-wave induction cook top. The smallest pan of the set is sometimes hit or miss, but all the others work just fine.
