Will this work on an induction cooktop? In other words, is the bottom magnetic? TIA.

The bottoms are indeed magnetic. I tested this by just taking a kitchen magnet off the fridge and it sticks to the bottom readily. Don't know what this means for an induction cooktop; but the unit works just great.

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

On Feb 1, 2014, I received this skillet from Amazon. It is definitely NOT compatible with my induction cooktop. The pan bottom is not attracted to a magnet, a requirement for it to work with any induction cooktop. I think something must have changed in the manufacture of this item since the earlier answers to this question. Induction buyers beware!

The pan is magnetic so from that perspective it will "work" with an induction cooker, however the bottom of the pan has ridges and a bow. I put the pan on my induction cooktop and it rocked back and forth, so contact is not optimal. I will be trying to use it this afternoon and will add to these comments then.

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom & sides of the pan. These can be used on an induction cooktop. You would not believe how fast water boils & food cooks on induction.

NO!Scroll down to about the middle of the description. You will see these words " The base is suitable for all cook-tops except the induction" I have bought pans that had a magnetic base and they didn't work on my induction cooktop

I don't have an induction cook top. But searching for how to check, multiple websites say to hold a magnet to the bottom and see how strongly it is attracted. I did that and the magnet was attracted just as strongly as against my refrigerator. That bodes well for an induction top. I'd recommend contacting Kitchen Aid directly and check with them.

No, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on an induction stove. This pan is all aluminum (no clad on the bottom) therefore will not work.

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

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 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.

Yes, it can be used on an induction cooktop. I just checked and a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot, which means it works with induction cooking.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

Mine works on my induction cooktop, it is stainless steel, has been working on it for 2 years.

It's cast iron and all my cast iron works on an induction cooktop. Rule of thumb for Induction Cooktops--if a magnet sticks to it....IT WILL WORK ON INDUCTION COOKTOPS. Hope this helped!

This does NOT work on an induction cooktop. The previous answer is incorrect.
