Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

...ehh...I would say no. Induction works by using magnetic fields. Use a magnet on the bottom of your cookware to test if it's 'induction-ready'. If it sticks, you're good to go. Concerning this kettle, the answer is no. It has an amazing weak magnetic attraction.

So, I just went into my kitchen to test this out. A magnet WILL stick to the tea kettle. I have a gas stove top so I am unable to comment on the induction cook top. But i LOVE this Tea kettle. It holds enough water to fill a french press for coffee AND a tea pot. I have used and abused this for over a year and it still looks as great as the day I got it. Hope this helps!

This item is made mostly of aluminum, including all of the exterior. Therefore, it will not work on an induction cooktop even though it has a thin stainless steel interior. Also, the bottom is actually raised above the burner surface, and thus this item will also not work with a convention smooth cooktop. It's really best suited to a gas cooktop.

What is an induction cooktop? I have a gas stove but any cooking range should work.

I know it works on my regular stove top. I assume the induction stove top is like the flat glass top. It should work even though it will not set directly on the burner. It does have a flat side and grill side. There is a slight rigged edge around the edges on both sides to retain the grease from running off. On to the stove top. It does work great.

No, this unit has a copper bottom. You need to find a kettle with a ferrous metal bottom for induction cooking. Take a small magnet to the store and touch the bottom of the kettles, if it sticks to the bottom, the kettle will work on an induction stove.

Nope. Induction stoves require a resistive coil in the base to transfer energy from the stove top to the pot or pan. This is a simple stainless steel kettle and is unlikely to heat up much on an induction stovetop.

I use it on induction stove, I don't see why it should not work on gas. It may get a bit tarnished at the base, but is a great coffee maker.

Hello Vickie, Thank you for your inquiry. No that will not work on an induction stovetop. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

It works ok on induction but if you want fastest/best results turn on the power boost. Then you get the water boiling super fast!

I have not tried it on an induction cooktop. I use a cast iron tea candle holder with this teapot, and it will keep the tea warm for several hours. I think the instructions on the box said not to use on a stove to boil water in the pot, but if you have already brewed the tea, you might be able to keep it warm on the very lowest setting on an induction cooktop.

Works great on a gas range but cannot tell you whether it works on an induction range.

Absolutely! It works on/in any stove and oven! It cooks very evenly. The only variation you'll find with this set is how long it takes to heat up, an induction & coil top may take an additional 2-3 minutes to get as hot as a gas stove does, but if you've been cooking on an induction top then you're used to waiting that long already! It WILL last you a lifetime as long as all you do with it is cook! ;)

Mine works exceptionally well on an induction cooktop. I cannot speak for gas.

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 do not know about induction cook tops. I bought it to place on top of our coal stove , there it works great.
