Will this pan work on an induction cooktop (in other words, will a magnet stick to the bottom?)

Sorry, I do not know. You will have to contact the manufacturer for that answer.

No. I have a glass cooktop and the pan works great. It is super heavy duty and cooks very nicely.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

Does not work with induction cooktop. I just opened mine, and it does not attract a magnet at all. Apparently the "steel" in "Stainless Steel" is not iron-with-nickel (which makes no sense to me). The bottom has an aluminum core. Whatever the metallurgy, it is not magnetic and not suitable for induction heating.

Take a magnet and put it too the bottom of the pan. If the magnet holds than it will work with induction cooktops.

A magnet sticks to it. I haven't tried it on my induction top yet. If a magnet sticks, it should work.

It is my understanding that induction cooking requires special pots and pans. This pan was not made for induction cooking and a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom.

Yes. Induction works with any magnetic metal. (If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot or pan, it will work on induction cook tops.)

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

Hi - I don't have an induction cooktop, so I can't be certain. However, I did read once that if a magnet sticks to your pan, that it will work on an induction cooktop. So, I just tried it and a magnet did stick to the one I have. As I said in my review, I can't honestly recommend this item, but maybe it will work better for you. I hope that helps!

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.

Induction cook tops require the bottom of any pot or pan to be magnetic. This cookware has an aluminum base infused between two layers of stainless steel. Using a magnet I personally Checked for magnetic properties. The bottom of the pan is non magnetic therefore, it probably will not work on an induction type range.

I have never used an induction cooktop but I understand that it only works with ferromagnetic metals. Carbon steel generally is but it can depend on how much carbon in it. My opinion is the wok should work, a magnet does stick to it but you might want to consult the manual for the cooktop just to be sure.

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

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.

No!!! It has to have a magnetic bottom for the unit to work. any cast iron pot or pan works. Any pot or pan that is said to be induction ready will work. I have bought 2 0r 3 pans at Walmart but you need to take a magnet with you to test the pan. Even an aluminum or stainless pot or pan that a magnet will stick to works because their is an iron layer sandwiched between the other metals. I have been very very happy with my pic cooktop I got from Amazon and bought it for half the cost of getting it off TV ads because they kill you on the shipping and handling... Hope this helps...

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.

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.

The way to determine whether or not a pot is compatible with an induction cooktop is by doing the 'magnet test'. If a magnet will NOT adhere to the bottom of the pan (regardless if the sides of the pot stainless steel) then the pot will most likely NOT be compatible with an induction cook top. Which brings me to your answer - no, a magnet will not adhere to the bottom of the pot so it is unlikely this is compatible with an induction cook top.
