Can these be used on induction cooktops? If so, are they noisy?

Linda, yes these pans can be used on a induction stove, they even say induction ready on the bottom. I bought them because somewhere I read that they worked on an induction stove and they were made in France not China. I have not had a problem with them being noisy but I never cook anything on a high temperature so I don't know what they do on high, it hasn't been necessary to cook on high. I bought the ten piece set from amazon, added a 2.5 quart pan, if you have a family and buy the 10 piece set you will need a larger pan than the 1 quart that comes with the set. These pans cannot be stacked or they will scratch so we also needed to get a small pot rack, one thing leads to another. Cleaning them with BarKeeperFriend works well. SB

We bought these to use on our induction range. There is no additional noise

Yes, they can. I don't have an induction cooktop, so I can't advise on the noise level.

I really don't know. I have a conventional electric range. I love the pan though. cl

These are stainless steel and copper on the bottom. Induction heat has no flames. I would think it would be the same as an electric range top. So I think it would be fine. Google it to be sure but we are talking about a form of Heat, and a form of metal. I think it would be fine but find out for sure if you have concerns. Hope this helps.

Nope. These are aluminum pans. Induction only works with high iron content.

I've used this set for nearly 3 years on my Samsung induction stovetop with absolutely no problems; in fact, they start to "buzz" when they're about an inch above the "burner."

I do not have an induction cooktop, so I cannot give you an answer. I use the cookware on gas. Sorry I cannot be helpful. I like the cookware a lot.

Merri, I really don't about that ,I bought these pots and pans as a gift for my daughter,I know the price was right,the product is great, so far so good ,all the cooking my daughter has done so far is great,the pans are very good for the price,but I think I read somewhere that you can use these on an induction top,but the best thing to do is Call Farberware customer service ,they will give you the right information you need.

Yes. I have brought these over to a friends house for pot lucks. The have an induction stove top and they work like a charm!

Yes, they do. If a magnet is attracted to the base of the cookware, it will do fine on an induction range.

I wish I knew the answer to that one, but I'm not really sure. I suggest checking with the manufacturer. I can see no reason why they would not work, but I have never used an induction cooktop, so you'd be better off checking with WearEver. I really hope that they do work, because having used these for a bit longer now, I would love to go back and give them even more stars. They really hold up well and are just the best cookware I have ever used. Good luck with your search.

They can certainly be used on gas, electric, and glass cooking surfaces. I do not have an induction range, so I have no experience with that. I do know that the pot surface must be ferromagnetic. OR, an interface disk can be used for any regular pot on an induction range.

Hi Rita, That's exactly why I bought the set. It works very well on induction stoves. I use the NuWave CookTop with no problems.

No. Nothing is good for induction cooking except steel or iron with a thick base that has enough iron that a magnet has strong attraction.If you can get past the word "good" and ask a more sensible question like "Can I cook with these on an induction burner" then the answer changes to "Yes you can but it will take longer to heat up".

These pans do NOT work on induction stovetops - I don't think the other two people who answered know what an 'induction' stovetop is. They are not magnetic in ANY fashion, which is a requirement of an induction stove. Avoid these pans.

I do not have an induction cooktop. I do however have a Kitchenaide glass top cooktop and they work great on my cooktop. They are nice and smooth and make as well as hold a good connection. Great pots for this great price.

Yes, they work great on induction. I use them on induction everyday. May have to do some experimenting to figure out the best heat to use. In general, low heat is key.

Yes they do work with induction cooktops. That's where we us ours and they work very well.
