Do these pans work on a regular ceramic/glass cook top? I do not have Induction ,so am concerned as to their performance. Thank You!

OH my yes they do. They work on everything, but the microwave. They work on a camp fire, a camp stove, a wood burning stove they do just fine. I know cooks who regularly put skillets into overhead gas broilers to finish up a dish and zero negative problems. Some folks believe there are better pots and pans and there may be, but this is a set you can purchase with confidence and enjoy using. And they clean up very well. So I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy!!!Dave

I don't have induction either. I use it as a regular pan on my gas stove so I'm sure a glass top would be fine.

I have used mine to great effect on a glass cooktop. The bottom is indeed flat, so you should have no problems using it at all.

These pans do NOT work on induction stovetops - I don't think the other two people who answered know what an 'induction' stovetop is. They are not magnetic in ANY fashion, which is a requirement of an induction stove. Avoid these pans.

I don't believe so. I think I read somewhere that they don't work on the induction type of cooktop. I believe it was one of the reviews on Amazon. If you go to the t-fal webpage, the pots and pans that they have that do work (solid stainless), they state that they work.

Just received my pans and they do not work on my induction, they advertise that they do!

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!

No the pans do not have the induction symbol on the bottom and they donot respond to a magnet. My opinion at this point is that they are not good for induction cook tops

The bottom of these pans are made from aluminum. This material is not ferromagnetic so its is unlikely to work on an induction cook top.

Yes, they work great on a glass stove top. The only issue I have noticed is that on some of the lids on the pots tend to get hot.

I did a lot of reviews on these before I bought them and from everything I read, they were safe to use on the glass top stove. THat being said, when I moved from our apartment to our house, that was my one requirement....no glass top. So I don't have them to confirm they won't ruin the pans, but again I did a lot of research and didn't find anything about that. I will say that I LOVE this set!!!

Yes they can be used on induction cooktops. I have been doing so for a log time and have never had a problem. Excellent pans too! Just don't heat them too high for long periods of time or you will wear away the non-stick more quickly.

I found the open stock pans from this set at Ross. The tag specifically says they work for induction cooking.

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).

Yes, In fact they work very well on glass tops, and I've learned recently that they do work real good on the new convection cook tops as well. To date I have not heard of anyone having trouble with any cook top type and I now know 5 friends of mine that have bought this set and just love it.

I bought these for my mother in law and she uses them on her electric stove that is glass top. She loves them. They don't have to be pre-seasoned either. Hope this help :)

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

No. They are not induction pans. They are regular pans to be used on a gas or electric stove.

Yes these pots and pans work on induction cooktops. They clean up nicely and they look great. Good value for the price.
