can I use this on an induction electric stove with pots that are 'not' magnetic

I don't see why not. It's just a piece of cast iron. That said, I have only used it on gas stoves.

It will certainly work, but try to match it to the size of your pot, or you'll waste a lot of energy.

i don't have an induction unit, so I don't know. A magnet sticks to the body of pot, not the lid

No, but the cookware has to be compatible for induction cooking. If a magnet will stick to it, it should work. Lots of inexpensive pots and pans on the shelf in customary retail stores that will work.

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

they are not magnetic. and the commercials on tv about the induction cook top mentions their pots being magnetic. so I wouldn't think they are. I just noticed them mentioning magnetic bottoms on the last commercial I saw.

For those commenting on the pot not being stainless steel because it doesn't work on induction stoves, there are many types of stainless steel that are non-magnetic. In fact, the most common types of stainless steel are non-magnetic. http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae546.cfm

Yes, it is magnetic, so it works on Induction stoves It is a top of the line cookware, still made in the USA! Highly recommend it.

Thank you for your question - unfortunately this set will not function on an induction cooktop as the stainless steel is non-magnetic.

I don't know. I do not have an induction stove. It is a metal pot. If an induction stove works with metal, it should work with this.

I don't think so. I believe a magnet must stick to the bottom in order to work on an induction cooktop. A magnet does not stick to my Paula Deen cookware. However it is very nice cookware for conventional stoves.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content). http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

yes, I have and induction stove. Anything a magnet will stick to can be used on and induction stove. Love my all clad.

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.

If you need induction cookware, you're a bit limited. Only certain kinds of cookware can be used with induction cooktops. Specifically, it has to be ferromagnetic. Cast iron is always OK. Stainless steel is sometimes OK. Aluminum, glass, and copper are never OK. The "magnet test" helps you find out if your cookware is induction-ready. If a magnet sticks to the pot, it will work. A magnet does not stick to aluminum and this pan is aluminum so the answer to your question is no.

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.

Yes, they are magnetic - so to test, try a kitchen magnet and if it sticks the pans will work with the induction cook top. Ours did, good luck cooking!!

Brian, since this is a single wall stainless steel with no magnetic bottom, it will not perform well on an induction stove. Recommend you find a pot with dual bottom construction.
