can this pressure cooker be used on an induction range top?

Amy they don't recommend using it on any glass top range, one for the weight possibly causing glass breakage becasue your transferring the heat beyond the actual eye area to the none heated area. As far as induction goes it wont work either as its made out of aluminum. Basically if a magnet wont stick to the bottom of a pot you can't induce enough magnetic current to heat the pot up. You could possibly use an interference disk to transfer the heat but your against the weight issue. This link explains it pretty well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking Hope that helps :)

I do not see why not, I have used mine on gas and electric stoves. I think the induction cooktops are cold to the touch, so there should be no problem.

I have no idea what an induction cooktop is, I have a gas range, I have always had a gas range. The set works fine on my range.

I don't see why these pots wouldn't work on induction cook top. My guess, YES it will work but check the manufacturer for a second opinion. I prefer and use gas stove because it cooks faster and these pots works very well in even cooking. It may take getting used to cooking with these because it takes heat well so you may have to figure out how to adjust your cooking so it won't cook or burn too fast or food stick to pan. But the product is wonderful to me so far after a year of use!

I don't know whether it will work with an induction cooktop since I have a gas range. These worked really well with my gas range though and are very easy to clean.

For nearly all models of induction cooktop, a cooking vessel must be made of a ferromagnetic metal such as cast iron or stainless steel. Since this is stainless steel, I think it should work.

I don't have an induction cooktop, Works great on my gas range . I am sure it would work very well on any cooking surface..I like it very much, glad to have it..

Yes! I use mine on my induction cooktop exclusively. I'm glad to have the opportunity to tell someone what a great product this is, especially considering the price. My husband used it yesterday and commented on the quality; he was shocked (in a good way) when I told him what I'd paid for it. He's an engineer and very exacting about what he considers good quality. So it meets and exceeds my standards for cooking large quantities of food for canning, and it meets and exceeds his standards for quality and price.

I don't believe so. The pot is aluminum which doesn't work with induction heating. Induction cook tops need a ferrous metal like stainless steel.

I don't know what an induction cooktop is. I have an electric glass top range. We have three of the pans and love them.

Unfortunately, no it can't. Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic metal and this pot does not meet that requirement.

I don't know. I don't have an induction cooktop so I've never tried to use it on one.

Sorry, I do not know. I used it only with a normal electric cooking plate. I cannot image anymore to prepare meal without Pressure Cooker.The description mentions the possibility to use induction stoves ("Suitable for all stovetops, including induction; 10-year limited warranty; dishwasher-safe except for pressure lid".

I have heard of an induction oven but i not have heard an induction cooktop, however this pressure cooker is very nice and comes to pressure very quickley. I have cooked chicken legs and thighs in it and the meat just fell off the bones. Due to its size it it is very easy to clean it is a high quality product.

I've never used it on an induction cooktop, but I don't see any reason it can't. I've been using this set for almost 20 years and love it, especially the lifetime guarantee.
