Anyone find a stainless steel or iron bottom for this size unit? Need to have iron material for induction cooktop to work with this.

The one I have is not a solid bottom. It works well on my gas stove, but I think it would not work as well on an electric or induction cooktop.

I'm not very familiar with induction cooktops, however I think they need a high iron content. I would contact the company to be sure.

I have one. A magnet will not stick to the bottom and therefore it can not be use on an induction cook top.

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

I use a 12 inch iron skillet with no problems. There seems to be even heating all across the bottom of the pan and food cooks evenly. Love this induction burner!

The easiest way to ascertain the answer to your question is to simply see if a magnet will stick to your cookware. By default, stainless steel contains no iron and therefore lacks the necessary prerequisite for induction cooking. So, the answer is "no", standard stainless steel cookware will not work. I hope this helps you...

I have an induction cooktop, and it works. As one of the previous reviewer stated, if a magnet will stick to it, it's induction compatible. I have noticed that it takes longer to heat than my cast iron does on the same setting.

I have had good results with this pan on my single burner induction cook top. It is made of the correct material and the bottom is thick and the pan is heavy to allow for frying at the high temperatures generated by induction units. What problems have you experienced?

I have induction and it works great. Thick bottom, conducts heat well. Heats up fast.

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon. Image

No, there is no steel or iron in this teapot to work with the induction cooktop. It works fantastic on my gas range, though. I love it.

According to another reviewer, this pot is not compatable with induction cooktops. It is stainless but has an aluminum clad bottom.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful

This item is made mostly of aluminum, including all of the exterior. Therefore, it will not work on an induction cooktop even though it has a thin stainless steel interior. Also, the bottom is actually raised above the burner surface, and thus this item will also not work with a convention smooth cooktop. It's really best suited to a gas cooktop.

One important thing to understand is that the stainless steel exterior is necessary if you want to cook on an induction electric cooktop. If you're cooking on a conventional electric or gas cooktop, the aluminum exterior will be fine.

This pan is anodized aluminum. Induction cooktops require stainless or cast iron (or other ferromagnetic metal). But you can buy an "Induction Interface Disc" that will allow you to use aluminum, copper and glass pans on the cooktop. It's a stainless steel disc about 8" in diameter with a heatproof handle (kind of like a pan with no sides). A bit of a pain of course, but I guess it lets you preserve your investment in your existing cookware upon switching to induction. It sounds like you might want to look for a different pan.
