Induction cooktop- can anyone see if a magnet will adhere to the bottom of the kettle? If NOT, cooktop won't heat it. Thanks!

Found a magnet - applied it to bottom of the kettle - it remained stuck to the kettle even in a gravitational field.

Yes, I tried a magnetic label that was stuck to my refrigerator door and it stuck to the bottom of the teakettle

Put a magnet or magnetic stick up on the pot bottom. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it will work. If it does not stick, it will not work. A thick bottom that conducts heat evenly is best for even cooking.

I looked at the bottom of my 1.5 QT sauce pan; it says "induction ready". I tested it with a magnet and the magnet stuck. So, even though I do not personally use an induction cooktop, I'm pretty confident the answer is yes.

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.

I do not have an induction burner, but I think the test to see if the cookware will work on induction is to check and see if a magnet sticks to the bottom. So I tried that, and the magnet did NOT stick to the bottom. It was a pretty strong magnet. So I assume it won't work on induction. That is all I know. Hope this helps.....Pat Woods

Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.

After reading your question, I placed a magnet to the bottom of the pot and it did stick. So I would say yes, it would work with an induction stove top.

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.

Just a quick correction to Mr Sato's answer. Induction does indeed use magnetic fields to excite the molecules in the metal of your pan/pot/kettle and provide heat. HOWEVER, not all metal will work, only ferrous (i.e. magnetic) metal. In short, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot/pan/kettle, it will work on induction. If not, it will not.

NoThis is completely made of aluminum. Induction cooktops need a magnetized cooking pot or pan to work. If you are looking for a kettle that will work, many stainless steel kettles will do the job. Just make sure to read the description fully and reviews.

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

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!

I just tryed sticking a magnet to the "bottom" of my Copco Enamel on steel whistling tea kettle, and YES the magnet did stick! I hope this helps you out.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

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 was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.
