Has anyone tried this griddle on an Induction Cooktop? I'm trying to find if a magnet adheres to the bottom of it. Can anyone tell me?

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

I stuck a couple of different sized magnets on the bottom & no magnet adhered to the underside.I have a homely electric coil cooktop.

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.

The T-Fal skillets I bought thru Amazon will not work with the induction cooktop. Their website said to use a magnet to test the bottom of the skillet. If the magnet won't stick tightly the cookware is not likely to work well with induction cooking.

Simple, just get a small magnet and see if it is adheres to the bottom of the pan. If it hears to the pan, it is good on the induction.

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.

I don't have an induction cook top. But searching for how to check, multiple websites say to hold a magnet to the bottom and see how strongly it is attracted. I did that and the magnet was attracted just as strongly as against my refrigerator. That bodes well for an induction top. I'd recommend contacting Kitchen Aid directly and check with them.

Joanne, according to my understanding of induction cooking and the requirements of induction cookware, this cookware should be ideal. What I read said that a magnet should stick to the bottom of the pan in order for the electromagnetic field to be activated. I checked and a magnet sticks very well to the bottom surface (cooking surface) but not to the surface that is in contact with the food. That part is stainless. I hope this helps!

Hi, I bought this item .I don't have an induction stove so I searched here http://www.ask.com/wiki/Induction_cooking and it told me the metal must be made of ferromagnetic metal so being I didn't know exactly what that was I searched again here http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/magnetic_materials.htm#.VE-gmvl4pcQ So I would say anything that a magnet sticks to good would work according to what I have read,for your future purchases it is the best way to tell .I took a magnet to the set in question and it sticks real good too.So I believe it it a go.Ted

Can someone please try to hold a magnet to the set and see if it sticks? If they dont stick, it will not work on an induction cooktop.

Well, they say that if a magnet will stick to it, then it is okay for an induction stovetop. I tried it and it doesn't stick, so I would assume that it isn't. Too bad, because I LOVE this pot. I am glad I just have a regular stovetop...I would hate to cook without it.

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 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.

My guess would be that the pan would work. I tested the bottom with a magnet & the magnet stuck pretty good as per a quick test re: inductioncooktops. I have a ceramic cooktop & this pan works great.

To work with an induction cooktop, the pan needs to have an iron, steel, or magnetic stainless bottom. This griddle is described as all aluminum, which will not magnetize and therefore will not heat up on an induction cooktop.

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

I just ran a magnet over the bottom of the griddle and it DID NOT adhere to any section of it. I believe the griddle is aluminum and non magnetic.

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.
