Is this pot induction ready? Will a magnet stick to the base? I'd like to use this on an induction burner to keep food warm after pressure cooking it.

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.

Just tried a magnet on the bottom, it had a weak attraction, not as good as on my regular pots. Don't know if that's good enough.

No, a magnet will not stick to the base. I have both the original pot and an additional one I purchased later and neither allow a magnet to stick to the base at all - ZERO attraction inside or out (my test magnets have a very small attraction to the sides). However, there is a warmer setting on the pot so you can keep food warm there or, more short term, buy the glass top (unfortunately the glass top has a vent hole in it).

NO this does not work on an induction cooktop! Hint #1 magnet does not stick to the bottom of pan. Hint#2: when placed on induction surface, the cooktop has trouble detecting an object. It may connect sporadically, but you will be lucky if the water gets warm.

If I understand how induction stoves work, then no. The pot is not magnetic (some stainless steels are not), and your stove would not be able to induce heat in said pot. Sorry for the delay

Hmmm-- I don't know if it can be used on an induction cooker, whatever that is. The bottom is not magnetic though. I bought it because it was non teflon. I had to bite the bullet because of the price, but am glad I did. It is sturdy enough and I use it all the time, but only for poached eggs. I found it disappointing that there were so few similar offerings in stainless steel.

Yes, this is induction ready. A magnet will stick to the base of the coffeemaker.

Good question. Magnet does not stick so cannot use with induction heating. Considered it myself at one point. I have 2 of these that I use for brewing and they work well. No issues.

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.

Hi Diane--I know you wanted a DEFINITE answer, but I don't think you're going to get one unless someone actually tried it on an induction burner and you may wait forever for that someone to answer you. You can try to contact the manufacturer (good luck unless you speak Italian) to inquire as to the rating of chromium/nickel they use in the product; the more nickel, the shinier it is and the less magnetic therefore the less likely to work on your induction burner. Two things: a magnet will NOT stick to this ultra-shiny little pot, and the bottom is just shy of 2 1/2" diameter, and I believe induction burners don't detect pots under 4". The instruction booklet states (vaguely) that "The coffee-pot can be used on any source of heat", but even though induction burners have been around for a few decades, they have probably been using this same instruction book since before then. I'm thinking it's not going to work, but this is such a fantastic little pot that makes awesome espresso (I use it every day) that it would be worth it to buy a little hot plate just so you can use it. Sorry, but I figured a (semi) educated guess would be better than no answer at all. Good luck! Ellie Newcomb

r.k. says: I received my induction burner today. Even though a magnet was not attracted to my Yosemite coffee pot it worked on the induction burner. Evidently there is some stainless that is not magnetic that will still work with induction.

No it does not. I got an error message on my induction burner. The magnet doesn't stick on the pot bottom either.

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

It absolutely can be used on an induction burner. I've used mine on a cook-top with induction burners countless times. Also, a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot. I hope this helps.

So, I just went into my kitchen to test this out. A magnet WILL stick to the tea kettle. I have a gas stove top so I am unable to comment on the induction cook top. But i LOVE this Tea kettle. It holds enough water to fill a french press for coffee AND a tea pot. I have used and abused this for over a year and it still looks as great as the day I got it. Hope this helps!

Sandee, I think you're asking if this griddle is compatible with an induction cooktop. The answer is no. The griddle is solid (anodized) aluminum with a hard non-stick coating applied to the cooking surface. Thus this griddle is non-magnetic and it will not work with an induction heating element. My guess is that most of these non-stick griddles will either be aluminum or clad aluminum, as for example, the All-Clad product line. So if you have an induction cooktop you may need to go old school and look for an iron griddle which likely will be absent any high tech non-stick coating. Although, as you may well know, iron if cured properly builds something of a natural non-stick surface. Cheers!

The pan is magnetic so from that perspective it will "work" with an induction cooker, however the bottom of the pan has ridges and a bow. I put the pan on my induction cooktop and it rocked back and forth, so contact is not optimal. I will be trying to use it this afternoon and will add to these comments then.

No if you take a magnet it doesn't stick to it. I have the Nuwave induction system and with this it gives you a alarm of pots that can't be used and this pot is one that can't be used. Sorry

I have not yet tested this...however, the pot is stainless steel which should work on a induction surface. As long as the steel is of magnetic grade. I can go and see later if a magnet will stick to the pot's bottom. If it doesn't work though, you can also purchase a interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces. My guess however, is that it would work.
