Do you know if the pot you purchased is magnetic? Induction burners require magnetic pots...

This one isn't magnetic. The five quart Emeril brand pot I bought around the same time is magnetic.

Joanne, according to my understanding of induction cooking and the requirements of induction cookware, this cookware should be ideal. What I read said that a magnet should stick to the bottom of the pan in order for the electromagnetic field to be activated. I checked and a magnet sticks very well to the bottom surface (cooking surface) but not to the surface that is in contact with the food. That part is stainless. I hope this helps!

No, it is not magnetic, but this is ,in my opinion, irrelevant in the case of an " Induction " stove top. Indeed, in this case the Stove Tamer will get quite hot, but the contents of the pan sitting on the Stove Tamer will not cook. I will definitely avoid using such a tool with an Induction type stove top. However, I highly recommend its use with a GAS or ELECTRIC stove top, in particular, but not exclusively, for simmering.

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'm not very familiar with induction cooktops, however I think they need a high iron content. I would contact the company to be sure.

Hi Diane--I know you wanted a DEFINITE answer, but I don't think you're going to get one unless someone actually tried it on an induction burner and you may wait forever for that someone to answer you. You can try to contact the manufacturer (good luck unless you speak Italian) to inquire as to the rating of chromium/nickel they use in the product; the more nickel, the shinier it is and the less magnetic therefore the less likely to work on your induction burner. Two things: a magnet will NOT stick to this ultra-shiny little pot, and the bottom is just shy of 2 1/2" diameter, and I believe induction burners don't detect pots under 4". The instruction booklet states (vaguely) that "The coffee-pot can be used on any source of heat", but even though induction burners have been around for a few decades, they have probably been using this same instruction book since before then. I'm thinking it's not going to work, but this is such a fantastic little pot that makes awesome espresso (I use it every day) that it would be worth it to buy a little hot plate just so you can use it. Sorry, but I figured a (semi) educated guess would be better than no answer at all. Good luck! Ellie Newcomb

No, you cannot use this pan on an induction stove because it is made of anodized aluminum. You have to have a cast iron or a stainless steel pan that a magnet will stick to. I have an induction burner and I can only use a few of my pans on it. Be aware that not all stainless steel will work - test with a magnet! If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, you can use it.

I don't know . . . induction cooking uses magnitism, but I do not know how. I just tested my pot and a magnet does NOT stick to it, but I do not know if that is a clue. You might want to contact Norpro directly or pose a question to Google or Bing.

Ha, ha, ha! Well Daniel, I don't own an Induction Cooktop Range, nor um, Magnets {lots of computer equipment around and all}, so sorry... --GBJ

Yes it should work. Anything That is magnetic usually works with induction burners.

this pot is aluminum and not induction ready, only stainless that is magnetic will function on induction. Galen S.

It means that the bottom of the pot is ferrous and is affected by magnets. Induction heating uses an alternating magnetic fields to create heat. Rather than using a hot coil like with an electric stove or a hot flame like with natural gas, induction heaters stay relatively cool and transfer heat via magnetism. The pot will work fine with electric and natural gas heat (I've used mine with a propane burner, too), of course, but it also gives you the option of using induction heat.

No, only cookware that have magnetic bottoms as induction cooking requires compatible cookware

If you need induction cookware, you're a bit limited. Only certain kinds of cookware can be used with induction cooktops. Specifically, it has to be ferromagnetic. Cast iron is always OK. Stainless steel is sometimes OK. Aluminum, glass, and copper are never OK. The "magnet test" helps you find out if your cookware is induction-ready. If a magnet sticks to the pot, it will work. A magnet does not stick to aluminum and this pan is aluminum so the answer to your question is no.

No, it has to have a little bit of iron/alloy in the base. If a magnet will stick to the bottom of a pot, it'll work on this type of burner.

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.

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.
