I know you say it works on induction but is the bottom magnetic? My induction cooktop, Duxtop, says it works only if cast aluminum enameled iron and steel, stainless steel with a magnetic bottom, or cast iron

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!

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!

Sorry to say this item is not 100% stainless steel. If it were it would work on my induction cooktop and it does not. Aluminum will not work on induction stoves but stainless does. I'm really bummed, was looking forward to it but mine has to go back, it's worthless with my induction stove that only works with stainless steel and iron pots. The pot may have a stainless steel core wrapped with aluminum - why it won't work on induction stoves that only work with stainless steel and iron pots.

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

I do not have an induction burner, but I think the test to see if the cookware will work on induction is to check and see if a magnet sticks to the bottom. So I tried that, and the magnet did NOT stick to the bottom. It was a pretty strong magnet. So I assume it won't work on induction. That is all I know. Hope this helps.....Pat Woods

I have an induction cooktop, and it works. As one of the previous reviewer stated, if a magnet will stick to it, it's induction compatible. I have noticed that it takes longer to heat than my cast iron does on the same setting.

My wife put a magnet onto the pan and it passed the test so yes it is suppose to work on an induction cooktop.

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.

I have an induction stove and it definitely works well. It is not magnetic. There is a slight pull of the magnet to any part of the pot, but the magnet will fall away and does not stick to any part of the pot. Not sure what the scientific reason is. The pot may have enough steel to work on an induction stove, but not enough steel to cause a magnet to stick?

This pan is made of mild steel and is therefore magnetic. However, it has a rounded bottom, and I don't know how well that would work with an induction unit. Perhaps someone else has tried it?

This pan will not work effectively on a induction type stove due to it is a aluminum base. Induction stoves work with pans that a magnet will stick to. Here is a link for you...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Cookware

It is stainless steel construction. It will only work if a magnet will stick well to the bottom of the pan which indicates a substantial amount of iron content. I just checked and the magnet sticks real well so the answer is yes it will work on an induction cook top stove. I do not have an induction cook stove but I looked up the answer on Google and I gave the Bayou Pot the magnet test and it passed.

My guess would be that the pan would work. I tested the bottom with a magnet & the magnet stuck pretty good as per a quick test re: inductioncooktops. I have a ceramic cooktop & this pan works great.

Wikipedia says that stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. I tested this pot with a refrigerator magnet and it did not stick. Based on that, I think that this pot is not usable on an induction cooktop. None of the literature that came with the pot made mention of an induction cooktop.

No!!! It has to have a magnetic bottom for the unit to work. any cast iron pot or pan works. Any pot or pan that is said to be induction ready will work. I have bought 2 0r 3 pans at Walmart but you need to take a magnet with you to test the pan. Even an aluminum or stainless pot or pan that a magnet will stick to works because their is an iron layer sandwiched between the other metals. I have been very very happy with my pic cooktop I got from Amazon and bought it for half the cost of getting it off TV ads because they kill you on the shipping and handling... Hope this helps...

I use mine on a glass top electric cook top. Not sure how a induction cooktop works. Try calling the cooktop manufacturer or read the operation manual that came with it for reference.

Yes. Induction works with any magnetic metal. (If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot or pan, it will work on induction cook tops.)
