Does everyone have trouble cooking on the two smaller pans? How do I know if they will work on my Electroluxe induction cook top?

I've used all four pans, and I have not experienced any issues. I really like the fact that the heat is evenly distributed in the pans. What is the trouble you are having specifically?

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.

All sizes work fine on induction burner and glass top electric stove for me

I have two induction burners and three of the six pans are not recognized by them. The three larger pans work fine, but the two fry pans and the small sauce pan have a very small stainless steel disc that does not cover enough of the pan to work with the induction burner. The area around the disc is recessed so it does not contact a smooth top either. This design is the same on the larger pans, but the disc is large enough that it doesn't make such a difference.

I've had to use mine for a while now on an electric range and they're working fine. Now, this is a conventional electric element under a glass cooktop, not an induction element. I've no idea if these work with induction or not. I'm only using electric because we're renting a house while our new one is being built. That will go back to having gas (on a 48" range).

I have an induction cooktop. The pan works just fine. The pan has a built in steel disk. --It is a very nice pan, you will like it.

My induction cooktop has 6/7/10 inch elements. Largest pan is 10 inches, will not work on a 12 inch element. Pan must be at least the same size as the element

I have an electric stove and they work great. Hopefully someone with a gas stove will also answer. With the electric they cook like other pots but they do hold the heat and it is an even heat that is not always with electric. Therefore I like these better.

I haven't used the cookware very much, but I did fry an egg in the small skillet. Perhaps I didn't use enough oil, but it did stick some. You will have to try more or less oil until you get the best results. I'm new to induction cooking, but I really like the cookware. They are thick and a little heavy compared to that aluminum stuff.

Yes, my same pan (in the 12" size) warped slightly. I cranked the heat pretty abruptly, though (by mistake). Lodge says that these pans work on any cooktop, including induction stoves (on their website). You just have to be careful to heat the pan somewhat gradually. I haven't had the chance to test this myself, though, to see if the pan stays flat with gradually warming it because I haven't purchased another one yet. Personally, I was a little disappointed because I really liked the pan until it warped (only slightly). I find myself using that pan a lot less because I don't feel like taking my time with warming my pan. I want to be able to get a hot pan asap and start cooking.

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.

Nope, sorry. :( I put in an induction cooktop, not thinking about the pans. Had to stop using my calaphalon and buy some new ones. Now, we're back to gas. I would gladly give up my calaphalon to go back to induction!

Yes, that's why I bought them. I am really happy with them. I cook with induction most of the time. I am sure you will like this set; I do. Kevin

I've had no problems; however, I have a glass top electric stove and the elements are quite large. A friend who has a regular sized gas stove found that she had to keep her eye on meats and do a lot of moving around to get even browning. In the long run, she felt it was worth the extra effort to use only one pot.

Yes these pots and pans work on induction cooktops. They clean up nicely and they look great. Good value for the price.

As far as I know they are, is your glass top range the Induction type that only heat up when you place a unit on the stove, if it is just remember to experiment with the heat settings, as these pans use a lot less heat to cook with

I have used pans larger than the heating circle on the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop, and it worked just fine. As long as there is contact with the heating circle and the pan, it will work.

I found the open stock pans from this set at Ross. The tag specifically says they work for induction cooking.

I have found them better for my purposes. They work on an electric stove wonderfully, and once treated are great for omelets, stir fry, cooking steakes, chops, etc. The 10" is my go to pan over even my non-stick almost every time. A wok will work better for a few thing. For electric stoves, I find these better than the flat bottom wok I purchased.
