Are they good to use with an induction hot plate?

The colored handle will melt if you touch it to a hot pan or burner. The Grey utensil part however is very high quality and doesn't melt at all. The little notch on the bottom of the colored part allows you to put the utensils on the counter top without the Grey part touching the counter it's very handy.

They will work fine- but they do warn about using them at a high temperature for an extended period of time as the constant heat and pressure of the induction stove top can cause the pot and stove to fuse together, and that is no bueno. If you want to cook something at a high temp for hours, don't use these pots- but other than that you're good to go.

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

I've only been using them on gas stoves, but I've seen them used on induction stoves as well. I'm not sure which would be better!

I have an electric stove so don't know if these will work with induction. They are really great little casserole pans that I bake with. They are serving size, so can come right out of over to plate as a serving dish.

No they will not. They are aluminum. Induction cooktops rely on magnetism to work and so will only work with steel or iron pans.

These pans are aluminum.. NON FERROUS. So they will NOT WORK with induction... they do not have magnetic qualities which is required for induction cooking. Sorry N. McWilliams, Aluminum isn't ferrous (containing iron).

I believe these DO NOT work with induction.Induction cooktops use a magnetic field to heat the metal in the pans.Since these are made of aluminum they won't be affected by the magnetic field.

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

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.

No, they can NOT be used on induction cooktop. See the Calphalon site for more information. All Calphalon pans that can be used on induction cooktops have a symbol on the bottom of each pan -- these do not. Almost bought these based on answers to this question, but glad I did some more checking before purchasing -- including going to a brick and mortar store and checking. One easy way to check (if in person) is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, works with induction. There are some other really good sets that work on induction cooktops, including Circulon Premier Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 13-Piece Cookware Set (much cheaper at Costco than on Amazon).

I have never tried using them on a heat source. Don't think I'd want to. I'd like to keep them shiny and in optimum shape for measuring tools.

As far as I know they are, is your glass top range the Induction type that only heat up when you place a unit on the stove, if it is just remember to experiment with the heat settings, as these pans use a lot less heat to cook with

My wife uses them on our gas stove and likes them very much. They also work very well on our induction cook surfaces.

I've had to use mine for a while now on an electric range and they're working fine. Now, this is a conventional electric element under a glass cooktop, not an induction element. I've no idea if these work with induction or not. I'm only using electric because we're renting a house while our new one is being built. That will go back to having gas (on a 48" range).

It is my understanding that these were made for standard electric and gas burners. As they are metal I do not think they would work for induction cooktops. My suggestion would be to contact the induction top manufacturer for an expert answer. Sincerely, C. Dalzell

I believe others have responded they are using with induction stoves. I don't have an induction stove and a quick web search said one test to check if cookware was compatible with induction stoves is to see if a magnet will stick to the cookware. A magnet does not stick to this cookware.
