Will a magnet stick to the bottom of the kettle (for induction)?

don't know anything about induction but a magnet does stick to the bottom of the kettle, nowhere else on the kettle, but the bottom, yes.

Hmmm, I've never tried that so I'm not certain. It is a metal bottom though, so I imagine it's possible.

No, I believe that you can only use metals that can be attracted by a magnet. I have used my Revere Ware stainless-bottomed pans and a cast iron skillet successfully. My Revere Ware copper-bottom kettle will not work.

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

Just a quick correction to Mr Sato's answer. Induction does indeed use magnetic fields to excite the molecules in the metal of your pan/pot/kettle and provide heat. HOWEVER, not all metal will work, only ferrous (i.e. magnetic) metal. In short, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot/pan/kettle, it will work on induction. If not, it will not.

Put a magnet or magnetic stick up on the pot bottom. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it will work. If it does not stick, it will not work. A thick bottom that conducts heat evenly is best for even cooking.

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 wasn't entirely sure how to know at first. But, when I googled how to find out...I was told to try sticking a magnet to bottom of pot. If it stuck then it would be considered compatible with inductive cooking. The magnet did stick! I hope this helps.

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

i don't have an induction unit, so I don't know. A magnet sticks to the body of pot, not the lid

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.

A magnet definitely sticks to the bottom. I've had this griddle over 2 years now, and I absolutely love it. I accidentally left a burner on and had a grease burn on the bottom that would not soak off. I used Barkeeper's Friend. and it looks brand new.

I don't have an induction stove top, but the magnet won't stick to this so am assuming that it won't work.

NO. A magnet will not stick to the bottom. Try the Cook N Home 12 piece set.

Yes, when I tried it a magnet did stick to the bottom pan. Hope that helps!

No the pot has to be where a magnet will catch on bottom. Stainless steel doesn't work

A magnet sticks any where it is placed on the "red" part of the kettle. Hope this helps.

No if you take a magnet it doesn't stick to it. I have the Nuwave induction system and with this it gives you a alarm of pots that can't be used and this pot is one that can't be used. Sorry
