Can the insert be used on an induction cooktop??

I don't know about induction stoves, but I have used it on a gas stove, with no problems.

No. My induction cook top will not recognize this on the burner. DO NOT BUY if you have an induction cook top.

No. This pan is anodized aluminum with a non-stick coating. Non-magnetic and therefore it is not for use on an induction cooktop.

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!

It goes inside a stock pot, so if your stock pot works on an induction top you should be ok.

Yes, this item can function as a steamer with the insert. It does not however work on induction cooktops.

I would not recommend use on an induction cooktop. This pot has permanently marred my cooktop. A call to farberware resulted only in lip service.

A small magnet sticks so most likely the answer is yes --- I do not use an induction cooktop. Hope this helps...very nice non commercial pot.

I am not sure about an induction cooktop but we have a ceramic glass cooktop and it works on it but the burn is a little large for the size of the pot so we have to be careful not to let the handle get too hot.

I found no description of the insert other that it is teflon coated. As long as you use the appropriate utensilsand prevent damaging the coating there should not be a problem.

You cannot put the insert in the oven or on the stovetop. Hope this clears up your confusion.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I don't think so. I believe pots and pans used on an induction cooktop have to be metal or aluminum. Maybe not

I don't see how it could be used that way, no. I ordered one for that same purpose assuming it was a solid plate, but this is a stamped steel disc with a raised rim for it to slip over a conventional burner. The only way I could see it working on an induction cooktop would be to place it upside down and then use a pan or pot that is smaller than the raised rim.

Boy, I don't know anything about induction cooktops. I think you should contact the company that makes these skillets and ask them. So sorry I couldn't be of help.

Sorry, I have never had an induction cooktop and cannot answer your question.

No, this cookware is not compatible with induction cooking. A magnet will not help. There is a symbol on the bottom on the cookware that looks like loops that is exclusive to cookware made for induction cooking. You can go on line to see what this symbol looks like. If the symbol is not there, then the cookware is not made for induction cooking.
