Does it work with an induction stoce top? Does a magnet stick? What is the inside made of?

I would assume that it will work with an Induction stove but I don't have an induction stove so I can't say for sure. I've never put a magnet to the pan so I can't answer this question. You will have to ask the manufacturer as to the materials used in the production of the pan. All I can tell you is I bought this pan to fry and scramble eggs in the morning and it performs very well at that task.

No a magnet does not stick. I do not know the answer to the other questions.

I don't have an induction cooktop but I looked it up for you. Yes, you can use this pot with an induction stovetop. The pot material is actually anodized steel.

I have a GE induction cooktop. It works fine, since it is carbon steel. Induction works by causing the ferrous molecules in a utensil to vibrate, creating heat. The quick and easy test for whether a pot or pan will work with induction is to put a magnet on it. If it sticks, there is enough ferrous metal in the pan, such as with ceramic clad utensils. I use carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans on my induction top.

Yes, it is magnetic, so it works on Induction stoves It is a top of the line cookware, still made in the USA! Highly recommend it.

Hi - I don't have an induction cooktop, so I can't be certain. However, I did read once that if a magnet sticks to your pan, that it will work on an induction cooktop. So, I just tried it and a magnet did stick to the one I have. As I said in my review, I can't honestly recommend this item, but maybe it will work better for you. I hope that helps!

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried it and it's clearly ferromagnetic so induction should work fine. (I don't have one of those to test, however.) Hope this helps.

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

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.

No, it does not work on induction. I expected it too as it is stainless, but doesn't have enough stainless to create the magnetic field necessary.

RK:The induction cooktop works with smooth pans that have a special magnetic metal content. I tried a magnet on the bottom of my Futura.....it did not stick. If you're considering purchase of the induction, be sure to investigate the price for replacing all of your cookware. Good luck and Happy New Year! dee

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.

Hi, I bought this item .I don't have an induction stove so I searched here http://www.ask.com/wiki/Induction_cooking and it told me the metal must be made of ferromagnetic metal so being I didn't know exactly what that was I searched again here http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/magnetic_materials.htm#.VE-gmvl4pcQ So I would say anything that a magnet sticks to good would work according to what I have read,for your future purchases it is the best way to tell .I took a magnet to the set in question and it sticks real good too.So I believe it it a go.Ted

I looked up how to tell if it is, if a magnet sticks to it it is an induction pan, I got out my trusty magnet and voila, it stuck, so the answer is yes! I hope this helped:)

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

NO this does not work on an induction cooktop! Hint #1 magnet does not stick to the bottom of pan. Hint#2: when placed on induction surface, the cooktop has trouble detecting an object. It may connect sporadically, but you will be lucky if the water gets warm.

I have never used an induction cooktop but I understand that it only works with ferromagnetic metals. Carbon steel generally is but it can depend on how much carbon in it. My opinion is the wok should work, a magnet does stick to it but you might want to consult the manual for the cooktop just to be sure.

if you have an induction cook top- rule of thumb is a magnet must be able to stick to the bottom of the pan. There are many different qualities of cast iron. Some do not have enough real iron in them to use.....Induction works on magnetic field for conduction. If its just an electric glass top- it will scratch if your cast iron has no protective coating.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful
