can this be used on a induction stove top? Is the bottom magnetic?

It can be used on an induction stove top. It is not magnetic, it's made out of copper with a tin lining.

It will work just fine. It is made out of copper and tin, neither of which are magnetic.
2081262
Its solid copper so I would looks up to see if copper is approved for your stove top.

Many answers here are WRONG!! A copper pan will NOT work on an induction stove because it is non-ferrous. Neither will an aluminum pan. Neither will an all-stainless steel pan. A stainless steel pan will work IF it has a ferrous bottom, as many do. Many people here are confusing a "glass top stove top" with an "induction stove top". Both have a glass top but a "glass top stove top" has a conventional heating element (which will work fine with copper) but an "induction stove top" has an induction disk, which will NOT work with copper.

The bottom is not magnetic. I am not sure about induction stove top, seems to me must be OK. I did not try. Best wishes :)

Yes, I use it soley on an induction stove. Works great and keeps the bottom sparkling clean. This cookware is like a piece of jewelry to be kept nice and shiny!

Yes, I am using it on an induction cooktop. It is abit stick to the bottom but quite effeciency to save time and energy.

Yes this kettle works on an induction cooktop. We bought it precisely for this reason and it works beautifully! It isn't that the bottom needs to be magnetic, but rather that the kettle bottom will respond to the magnetic field generated by the induction cooktop (this distinction is probably lost on most people). So if a magnet sticks to the bottom, or it says that it works with induction, it will work for your cooktop. Enjoy!

I use mine on an electric coil stove, on the small burner. I don't know if it is suitable for an induction stovetop.

Magnet sticks to bottom of pans! You are in business on the induction stove top. Good luck!

I just checked and magnets do NOT stick to this pot. Unfortunately I don't have an induction stove to check if it works. But, as others have noted, it is designed to pour water into it anyway.EDIT: Some of the comments made me look it up. Stainless steel can be magnetic or non-magnetic; it depends on the exact composition of the steel.

After reading your question, I placed a magnet to the bottom of the pot and it did stick. So I would say yes, it would work with an induction stove top.

I bought it as a gift. However if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work on the induction cook top.

this pan will not work on an induction stove. you need to use a ferromagnetic metal like cast iron or stainless steel.

I believe it has to be magnetic to use on induction stovetops and I don't think that applies to this particular pot. I love mine but I don't have an induction stovetop.

since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is... » Read More since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. « Show Less

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.

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

have not used on an induction cooktop but a magnet will attach to the bottom of the pot.

I have a glass top stove and the pot works well. As the bottom of the pot is metal, I would believe it would work on an induction top also.
