is it induction ready?

This pan is the Cuisinart 719-18 (www.cuisinart.com/products/cookware/chefs_classic_stainless/saucepans_ccs/719-18.html) which does not state "Induction Ready" like the "MCP19-18N" that you referenced. Although both state similar construction the 719-18 appears to be clad externally while the MCP19-18 appears to be a more solid "seamless" looking bottom. Could also be that one is the "Ferritic Stainless Steel" (therefore magnetic) while the other might be the "Austenitic Stainless Steel" (not magnetic). Neither states the type so my guess is as good as any. I do own 22 Cuisinart pans of various types but do not own an induction cooktop to test with.

Does not work with induction cooktop. I just opened mine, and it does not attract a magnet at all. Apparently the "steel" in "Stainless Steel" is not iron-with-nickel (which makes no sense to me). The bottom has an aluminum core. Whatever the metallurgy, it is not magnetic and not suitable for induction heating.

Note that it says it has an aluminum base, so no. All of my stainless-steel cookware is useless for induction due to aluminum bases. Aluminum does not magnetize. Try putting a magnet up to aluminum can. No luck.

I just bought this recently, and the only place that I have used it is on my NuWave induction cooktop. I don't what experience the others have that they would say it's not induction ready.

I wonder isn't it the same as this one http://www.cuisinart.com/products/cookware/multiclad_pro/saucepans_mcp/mcp19-18n.html? It says suitable for induction tops here.

Yes it is induction ready and suitable for all current stove top styles according to the manufacturer. I love the set an cook on a glass stove top surface

I have a glass top stove so I have no personal experience with induction; I would suggest you go to the Circulon website and check their customer support dept.

Probably. I thought about the only thing you couldn't use on induction was cast iron.

Yes, induction heating is great! Like anything else new, it is looked at suspiciously, but let the future happen with excitement!

Since it is Aluminum, I should not be suitable for Induction. Our daughter has an induction and she had to get all flat bottom stainless, even some of them don't work well. They usually say in the description if it is induction capable. It is a great pan if you have a glass top like we do. My wife is very happy with it.

I have yet to try my induction burner out. I am just looking into buying the pots/pan.

Yes it works very well on induction, and was one of th main reasons I bought this pan.

I am sorry I can not answer. I use a gas stove and have no experience with induction units.

It is ABSOLUTELY induction ready. And I find it to be VERY efficient. I don't know of another set of cookware that is induction ready that is any more efficient. Go with the best. I just purchased my set AND a DUXTOP 1800-Watt Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner 8100MC. I used mine for the first time tonight and I am VERY pleased. I can cook from my wheelchair for the first time in three years.

yes, that how i use, top of the stove to cook, then place in oven to finish. best cookware I have had at a fantastic price. to check if induction compliant, use a magnet on the bottom, if it sticks, its induction capable.

I looked at the bottom of my 1.5 QT sauce pan; it says "induction ready". I tested it with a magnet and the magnet stuck. So, even though I do not personally use an induction cooktop, I'm pretty confident the answer is yes.

Yes it is induction safe. Although I did return my set. We found that it had some nice design features , but found the set to be too light weight and found the set with a couple of dents upon delivery.

I can't answer that have not done that much research into the moving parts of the unit. I have had very good luck with mine and would recommend it to anyone looking into induction cooking.

The 3rd picture shows a coil, which is the symbol for induction as someone already said.SS by itself is not induction ready as SS is not magnetic. Usually manufacturers will put a metal bottom on SS pans to make them induction ready.
