Will a magnet stick to the bottom of the pan? That's how you can test if it will work on an induction cooktop.

I tried a magnet on all of my circulon pans and it didn't stick. However, mine are 5 or 6 years old.

No. To work on an induction cook top the utensil needs to have a magnetic field in the bottom of the pan. This doesn't have that contruction.

A magnet does not stick to the bottom and it does not work on our induction cooktop.

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.

I don't have an induction stove top, but I seem to remember that the test for whether a pot will work on an induction stove top is whether a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot. If this is a true test, then yes, a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot, therefore it should work on an induction stove top.

It says that it works on induction, and since the bottom will support a magnet, it should.

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!

I have not tried this on an induction cooktop. The skillet is made of aluninum so the magnet should not stick to it.

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

I do not have induction myself/ wish I did! / but from my understanding, this WILL NOT WORK since induction require ferrous content = iron...the test is if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan--it will not...actually tried it,,hope this helps

don't know anything about induction but a magnet does stick to the bottom of the kettle, nowhere else on the kettle, but the bottom, yes.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content). http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

Yes Melbe the magnet does stick and I use granite pans on my induction cook to frequently.

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 is a valid question for someone looking to buy cookware for an induction burner. PLEASE do not answer this question unless you really know what you're talking about!!! Some people don't know what an induction burner is and think anything that isn't electric coil or gas is an induction. It is NOT. The very easiest way to to tell if a pan will work is to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom. If it does, it will work with induction burners.

I don't think so. I believe a magnet must stick to the bottom in order to work on an induction cooktop. A magnet does not stick to my Paula Deen cookware. However it is very nice cookware for conventional stoves.
