Is this induction safe? (Does a magnet stick to the bottom?)

magnets do mot stick to the botom. I have has several scanpans for more than 3 years. Grankly I abuse them!, and they still perform quite nicely. Some scratches are noticable because I tend to use a metal spatuals, but these do not seem to alter the non stick surface. Remember thought to warm your pan slowly. Put it on low- medium heat, go have a cup of coffee then come back & cook. I think you'll be happy

I have a conventional smoothtop stove, not induction. The pan is non-magnetic.

No, A magnet will not stick, it is made from Titanium, but do not know about induction safe!

Mr. Behr, a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom of this pan. One of the main reasons I love this pan is for its even heat distribution, which is superior to any other I have used, such as Analon brand skillet. I can fill it from edge to edge and cooking is near perfect throughout. I only use medium heat setting, or lower. I hope this was helpful. Thank you.

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.

That is a great question. A magnet adheres to the bottom of the saucepan, not to the sides and not to anything on the double boiler insert. I'm not sure how induction works but that is how the magnet test went.

The bottom of the pan is marked as induction burner safe. I cannot vouch for this as I do not have an induction burner.

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

Yes - even says "induction" on the bottom. Magnet sticks to it, signaling induction ready.

The answer is NO, this is not magnetic. I got out my trusty magnet to check and it did not adhere at all to the bottom. This is a great pan, but NOT for induction cooktops.

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

The rule of thumb is "if a magnet will stick to the pan you are using, you can use it with induction ranges." I tried sticking a magnet to mine and it did NOT stick, so unfortunately, the answer to your question is No.

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

The bottom is a hunk of metal. I have gas and it works great on those burners. I can think of no reason it wouldn't work on an induction coil.

Good question. Magnet does not stick so cannot use with induction heating. Considered it myself at one point. I have 2 of these that I use for brewing and they work well. No issues.

Magnet sticks to bottom of pans! You are in business on the induction stove top. Good luck!

I don't think they are 'induction' rated. Like I said before, these pans are pretty cheap. To answer your second question, a magnet WILL stick to the bottom.

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom. I haven't had any of the problems other people are mentioning, but the handles do get hot and you need pot holders.

I was curious as to whether these pans could be used with an induction cook top, so I tested these, and yes a magnet does stick to the bottom.

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
