Will it work on an induction stove. Will a magnet stick to it?

Unknown, but it notes it should not be used on a stovetop (at all). As the air chamber providing insulation is sealed, heating the entire unit would be both a) ineffective for hearing the contents, as there is a barrier of air between the metal and the contents, and b) dangerous, as heating the contents enough to boil water is beyond the likely design specs --- but I'm not an expert. Even so, if you're able to heat the contents via induction, it still seems to involve boiling inside the pot which would rise over the boiling point (for the captured steam prior to release) and beyond the capabilities of the product?

I can't answer the first question. We pour hot water into the pot. 2nd question, magnets do not stick to stainless steel
890657
No it won't. It is made for adding boiling water to it. And it is stainless and not magnetic.

I just checked and magnets do NOT stick to this pot. Unfortunately I don't have an induction stove to check if it works. But, as others have noted, it is designed to pour water into it anyway.EDIT: Some of the comments made me look it up. Stainless steel can be magnetic or non-magnetic; it depends on the exact composition of the steel.

This french press is not designed as a cooking vessel to heat up water in any heat source. It's insulated thermos pot to keep boiling water hot for a little while. Like any french press, you put your coffee grind and pour boiling water to make coffee. I use a electric kettle to boil water.

I do not believe so. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges.I put a magnet to the bottoms of my Ecosolution pans and none will stick. Only a very expensive European pot I have would stick to the magnet.

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

Yes, it is magnetic, so it works on Induction stoves It is a top of the line cookware, still made in the USA! Highly recommend it.

I don't know. I do not have an induction stove. It is a metal pot. If an induction stove works with metal, it should work with this.

I know it works on my regular stove top. I assume the induction stove top is like the flat glass top. It should work even though it will not set directly on the burner. It does have a flat side and grill side. There is a slight rigged edge around the edges on both sides to retain the grease from running off. On to the stove top. It does work great.

this pan will not work on an induction stove. you need to use a ferromagnetic metal like cast iron or stainless steel.

We don't use it on an induction stove. Ours is a flat top Maytag and it works well on ours.

Hi Ray, to my understanding a pan must be metallic to be used on an induction stove. This is stainless steel, a magnet will stick to it but not well.i hope this helps you in some way good luck. I do love this pan

You might get a more accurate answer if you asked about an "induction cooktop" (assuming you just misspelled it) or, for those unfamiliar with induction technology, you could just ask if a magnet would stick to it.

A magnet does adhere to the bottom of the pan which I understand means it would be suitable on an induction type stove top.

It is stainless steel construction. It will only work if a magnet will stick well to the bottom of the pan which indicates a substantial amount of iron content. I just checked and the magnet sticks real well so the answer is yes it will work on an induction cook top stove. I do not have an induction cook stove but I looked up the answer on Google and I gave the Bayou Pot the magnet test and it passed.

I bought it as a gift. However if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work on the induction cook top.

I have an induction stove and it definitely works well. It is not magnetic. There is a slight pull of the magnet to any part of the pot, but the magnet will fall away and does not stick to any part of the pot. Not sure what the scientific reason is. The pot may have enough steel to work on an induction stove, but not enough steel to cause a magnet to stick?

If it is an aluminum pan it will not work on an induction stove. It at least needs a steel or iron core. You can test any pan by using a magnet. If the magnet sticks, the pan will work on an induction stove.

No, a magnet will not stick. And this is quite a small pot... only shy of 4 cups max.

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.
