Can I use a 16 Quart stockpot (induction ready) on this cooktop? The width of the stockpot is 12 inches diameter. If not, what can be my alternatives?

The induction area measures 9 inches, and the entire surface is 11.5 inches, so a 12-inch pot would fit. My extra-large 8 qt. Le Creuset fits and works perfectly.

You can use any (induction ready) cooking utinsel to cook on this cooktop. My favorite cooking utinsel are my black skillets as well as my stockpot.

Praj; I have not put anything that big on mine. I would wonder about the weight aspect. I have used large fry pans and cast iron but nothing that big. this cooktop is great so give it a try .... I would .....

Hi Inna! Yes, the stock pot is induction capable. You will love the versatility of the slow cooker and also the health benefits. I work for 360 Cookware, feel free to call me with any questions. 877.335.7267 x 509. Kiki

According to my trusty tape measure the inside bottom diameter is approx 6 1/2" & the outside diameter is 7". This oughta be perfect for your needs. This is a great little pot. If you are in to cast iron stuff, you will be very pleased with it. Good luck!

The bottom of the pot (the part that contacts the cooktop surface) can be up to 11". If More than that the pot will touch the front control panel which is flush with the rest of the surface. The control panel is made of a different plastic and looks like it might not tolerate contact with a hot pan. I have used a 15" flat bottom wok but the bottom diameter was only 9". Also, the induction coil is only about 6 1/2" diameter so large bottom cookware would get less heat at the perimeter--a condition that might not be convenient depending on what you're cooking.

I personally have used up to 12" on my stove but there is an issue that the outside edge does not cook that well therefor you must put up the heat more but the center will get burnt,hope this will help you.

Cast iron is not an issue, but I found that size is. Larger size pots make the unit heat up and trigger an automatic shut off. The manual that came with it reads "Use cookware that is flat, suitable for induction heating and having a bottom diameter between 3.15 inches and 10.00 inches."

Robert, I am going to ask amazon for you via written request and report back to you. I'm curious myself now. Why should you miss out on this or another product that might be just right for an induction cooktop. I will post answer here as soon as I hear back. cvsk12

Go a minimum of 18". I would put the largest pot you have on the cooktop and make sure you have adequate clearance to see in & stir

A stockpot is the same thing as a dutch oven, the pot is just called by different names depending on the manufacturer. Both come in different sizes, from about 4 quarts to 8 quarts ...Enjoy the Scanpan. I use both Scanpan and Swiss Diamond. They are both the very top of the line for "nonstick" cookware. And yes, there is a caveat there. lol

The heating element is approximately 8 inches and I believe it would be perfect for your 12 in. cast iron frying pan. I used the Induction Burner for my 8 Quart Pressure Cooker, and my Pasta Pot and it was perfect! It heats much faster than my Natural Gas Thermador stovetop! You will love this appliance.

I have not measured the diameter but am sure it is not 12 inches. I have this pot and it is definitely 4 quarts.

The NuWave is a portable unit--one of the tv infomercial products. Amazon also carries it. Yours is probably higher end than the portable two-fer-one unit I have. But it works very well, and since my regular stovetop isn't due for an upgrade yet, (knock on wood, don't need that expense). My stock pot is a 6 quart stainless steel I've had for several years. Bobby Flay probably endorses a good product. the Belgique pan we started discussing befre being side tracked on induction units is a nice pan. I particularly like the rounded shape. Good look with your search.

I purchased the 12 quart pot as a gift and have been told that it is wonderful. The pot with lid is 11" tall and the diameter is 10". If you add in the handles, it 11" wide. Hope that helps

Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it. One thing to consider: the actual area that will heat a pot is only about 4-5" across. So for a large pot (large diameter) it's VERY important to make sure that it's bottom is a great conductor of heat. Our pots are AllClad induction-ready pans and they work fabulously. We also have an off-brand stainless steel wok with a wide base we use and it works well to. So it doesn't have to be an expensive pot. Try the magnet test. If a magnet sticks REALLY well to the bottom, then it should work just fine. Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it.

I believe the dutch oven and stockpot are the same pan. I know they have the same purpose. Hope you enjoy your new pans!!! I have had mine for over 3 yrs and they clean beautifully. Take care of them.
