According to the manufacturer's web site: www.hawkinscookers.com, some newer Hawkins stainless steel pressure cookers manufactured after April 2011 can be used on an induction stove; see below for further details: Please note that all models of the Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker supplied since April 2011 in the Indian market are suitable for use on induction stoves as well as on domestic gas, electric, halogen, ceramic and kerosene stoves. All models of the Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker manufactured prior to April 2011 are suitable for use on all the above stated heat sources except induction. If you are looking to buy a Hawkins Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker especially for use on induction stoves, be sure to look for the following indicators which will help you identify whether the model you are reviewing is induction compatible or no. 1) Sticker on the product carton 2) Sticker on the cooker body 3) Stamp on the bottom of cooker body: "Induction compatible base AISI 430"

No, it is not magnetic, but this is ,in my opinion, irrelevant in the case of an " Induction " stove top. Indeed, in this case the Stove Tamer will get quite hot, but the contents of the pan sitting on the Stove Tamer will not cook. I will definitely avoid using such a tool with an Induction type stove top. However, I highly recommend its use with a GAS or ELECTRIC stove top, in particular, but not exclusively, for simmering.

I wasn't entirely sure how to know at first. But, when I googled how to find out...I was told to try sticking a magnet to bottom of pot. If it stuck then it would be considered compatible with inductive cooking. The magnet did stick! I hope this helps.

It depends on your canner. This canner is induction range compatible (Victorio VKP1130 Stainless Steel Multi-Use Canner)

Yes stainless. Manufacturers now mark the bottom of the cookware with an icon to indicate that it is induction ready. Any pot or pan that will hold a magnet on the bottom is suitable. Some stainles steel is ferrous (magnetic) and some is not.

Sorry to contradict some of the other answers but... yes... you can use it on an induction cooktop... but with these caveats: This is an aluminum cooker so you would have to put a steel or iron "cooking plate" under it, the induction coil heats up the steel/iron plate which then heats up the pressure cooker, we do this with a couple of nice aluminum pans that we like to use but don't work with induction. AND... be aware that this is one heavy mother of a cooker so you might need to test your induction cooktop to see if it will handle the weight...

No, no, no. Most stainless cookware will not work on induction ranges that require pans to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan it indicates induction compatibility. All cast iron qualifies. If a stainless steel, ceramic or other pan qualifies, the manufacturer will surely proclaim that feature.

I don't believe you can as Induction cooking requires pots with a layer of magnetic properties. I believe it has to be stainless steel or cast iron. There must not be any aluminum in them. Watch that your stainless steel pots and pans do not have aluminum in them.

Induction cooking is supposed to work with Stainless steel. I have not, however, confirmed it with this pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

It depends what kind of cooker you have, make sure search on the website if that cooker have megnetic bottom so it can support induction.

Hi Karen. The answer to your question is Yes. We bought this item from Amazon. The following is copied from the instruction manual: "Induction: When using the pressure cooker on Induction Cook-top, place the cooker on Induction Cook-top and press the appropriate function to start cooking. Please note the rate of heat absorbed by the cooker may vary between different models of Induction Cook-top. When using 2-litre pressure cooker, please ensure that you are not using the maximum wattage. Reduce the power as soon as pressure builds up and whistles the first time."

I have an electric pressure cooker, test the bottom of your cooker to make sure a magnet sticks STRONG. If it does I don't know why it would not work ????

As JAYMIS indicates the induction logo is on the bottom. I can confirm that the base of the pressure cooker is ferromagnetic. This is a very good example of a pressure cooker. Ive owned several.

The stainless steel of both the inner and outer pots are magnetic. The outer pot is super heavy duty, ferrous, and very magnetic. If this meets the induction criteria then you are good to go. I didn't buy this double boiler for the induction feature so you will have to make your own conclusion. Off the top of my head I would say that the outer pot, for sure, would work well in an induction situation. The inner used in conjunction with the outer will do the job it was designed for. HC

The pan has to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pan it will probably work. Pure aluminum and pure stainless steel pans will not work. Most pans that will work on induction cookers will have "induction suitable" stamped on them somewhere. I bought a Circulon Symmetry pan and it works great. Here's a link for Amazon's Circulon line... http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sr_1_2_acs_h_1i_2587293011&node;=2587293011?ie=UTF8&qid;=1399943788&sr;=8-2-acs

That's a good question. I don't have an induction stove (I have gas) but I have this pressure cooker - how would I be able to tell, and I will check to see. Thanks!

I have the disc for my pressure cooker that isn't induction ready. I've use it once. It is slower. Ir's worth having around to use. Guess it's my Girl Scout mentality.
