Is this item 12' top with at least a 11' bottom for induction usage

Nope. I'd say more like 9 3/4 inches of actual ceramic stove-top contact. (That's a rough estimate, because at the moment the pan is full of chicken and rice and I don't want to turn it over.) It works for me perfectly because it is a sniggle-snudge bigger than my two large burners -- more would be a waste. But if you have gas I can see why you'd want the whole 11 inches.

not sure - I gave it to my daughter and she left for home after Christmas - she does not live in minnesota

No. During the brief time that I had mine before it died, I recall that 12 inches was max. My opinion is don't waste your money, buy the $250 Breville instead.

no. I have a glass top stove about 11 inches and it works great and has not hurt my stove top

No. The manufacturer says the 12-piece set is compatible with all cooktops except induction..Alot of people are putting the wrong answers on here...

Measuring from the stovetop to the top edge of the side, the 12" pan is about 2" deep. If you want a deeper pan, T-fal also makes a 5 quart non-stick pan which is about 3.5" deep. I have both. They each have their purpose.

It depends. I have an 11" pan that is completely covered by the elements, and that is because the bottom of the pan is about 9". So the bottom of my pan is 9" and the top opening bevels out to 11" and works really great.

I cannot remember because I returned my order. This pan is not the same as the photos which lead me to believe it was a flat bottom frying pan. It is not, and the shape is much more like a wok. The central contact area or flat surface for induction is quite small, as small as a 6 or 7 inch frying pan, even though the photos show a very large flat bottom. I know this does not help with hanging but I wanted to tell you the photos are not pictures of the pan being sold.

The cooking top measures 10.5" x 10.5". The 'burner' is an 8" diameter circle. A 12" pot would extend over the control panel if it were centered.

About 3-1/2 in. They advertise it as a 12" pan, but it is 12" only at the top, so if you have an induction ceremonies Koop with a 12" burner, this is not for you. It is like a wok in some ways since the sides slope in.

Hi Teresa: I just measured my 13" pan. The bottom is 11" in diameter. Hope this helps.

I'm repeating this answer everywhere I see a question regarding an induction range or cook top so I hope people don't get tired of seeing it. I have a GE Profile Induction Range and this tea kettle "does" work. The bottom of the teapot is almost 9" across. There is a copper disc in the center, 2.5" across, that is slightly recessed (and obviously would not touch the glass of an induction range top). Around that disc is a 2-1/4" across band of stainless (which is the only portion of this teapot bottom that touches the range top). Around that is an outer band, width 1", that is recessed 1/4" (and does not touch the range top). So, you have from center to outer edge, a copper disc (slightly recessed), a stainless band (that touches the range top), and then an outer recessed band (that does not touch the range top). The center disc is measured not from center point but in it's entirety. All combined these 3 components make up the almost 9" of surface on the bottom of the teapot. Rest assured the amount of stainless that touches the cook top is plenty sufficient. I'm very happy with this tea kettle.

I have a 12" pan, and it is the upper opening, not the bottom. They usually list the upper diameter for the pans, not the actual bottom.

Both top and bottom have a thick base but I have a gas burner. I don't know anything about induction stove tops. Sorry

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.

Bottom is 12 inches around. Works as a mash ton with a 10 inch false bottom installed.

Yes, it's 12 inches across the top. I measure about 9 and a half (9.5) inches across the part that will contact your stove.

The 1300 watt induction cooktop has a cord look to me about 8ft long and require special induction type of cook ware. To check if your pan will work or not hold a magnet to pan bottom if magnet stick to bottom the pan is good. Do not buy pot or pans if magnet do not stick - as far as induction cooktop is concern.
