What is the Stainless steel thickness? What is used on bottom as a heat inductor?

In the product description is says, "The bottom of the 18/10 stainless steel pan has an extra-thick aluminum core, which ensures even heat transference from the burner to your food."

I like what L.A. says. If that's not enough, call up Farberware, and ask them.

I believe it's iron so it should be fine to use on an induction burner. It is not stainless steel as it does hold a magnet! I have used this for many things.. Smoking meats to reheating steamed crabs. Heavy duty base, the lid could be aluminum. Hope this helps.

It is 1mm thick stainless steel (between 19 and 20 gauge). The bottom is 5mm of aluminum surrounded by 1mm stainless. The handles on the 32 Quart and up are riveted and spot welded, but I think they may only be spot welded on the smaller sizes.

It does not have the thick bottom layer. I use it for beer brewing and heat it with a banjo style burner which disperses the heat evenly over the pot's surface.

The bottom (heating element) is steel, the inside is same as outside - plastic.

Read "product description".... which includes........... Heavy-gauge aluminum core conducts heat well for excellent, even cooking. Works well on my induction cooktop !!

I don't have means to measure but it is thick, probably 16 or 18 gauge. It is made of steel and very rugged. However it must be thoroughly dried after using, otherwise it may rust. I use mine everyday. Retains heat well.

Aluminum core bottom, clad in stainless steel. Not used for induction glass cooktops. See item description. No aluminum touches food.

I just checked and the bottom of the griddle does have magnetic properties. It may not work as well as copper or cast iron, but that should allow the metal to be heated through induction.

I have the 2 liter and the bottom of the pan says 18Cr 8Ni aisi 304 I have had no problems. I don't know the thickness but the weight of the 2 liter is 2 pounds or about 1kg and the thickness is about the thickness of a US 5 cent nickel. (very heavy) Good Luck!

The bottom is about 1/3", the thickness of the sides are about a 16th of an in., it is stainless & pretty sturdy.I hope that helps.

The bottom is a hunk of metal. I have gas and it works great on those burners. I can think of no reason it wouldn't work on an induction coil.

No thick bottom. But I've been brewing with it for over a year now, and it works great. I even installed a ball valve near the bottom. I use it with a Blichmann burner, so it heats 6 gallons quickly.

Gosh I'm sorry. I have no idea. And I don't have the unit anymore. It was ok. And probably fine for low heat cooking. But the finish was kind of cheap and I worry about that, so I chucked it. Sorry....wish I could have more information for you.

IF there isnt ANY steel on the bottom it will NOT work with the induction cooktop! We have a few induction burners and a magnet MUST stick/hold well to the bottom of the pot for it to work. IF this is a true stainless as the title says, it WILL NOT work on an induction burner.

Hi, there is a metal/steel at the bottom inside the pot, I believed it's a heat element.

I can stick a fridge magnet to the bottom of mine. Also, I have used it on an induction burner. Of course, that's the bottom, not the inner. The inner isn't the cooking part that needs to be magnetic for induction. The inner is surgical stainless steel.
