I have used one of these stock pots for years on a gas cooktop. Now that I have switched to an induction cooktop, it won't work yet the description says that it is compatible with induction cooktops. Is this a newer model?

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

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.

That's a good question. I don't have an induction stove (I have gas) but I have this pressure cooker - how would I be able to tell, and I will check to see. Thanks!

I believe it will work with any brand of induction cooktop? I love it and it cleans up really well. Since the induction cooktop works very similar to gas cooktops, once one learns to adjust the heat very little sticks to the pan that I am unable to clean up with little degree of effort!

Well, here's my answer. My knowledge with induction is somewhat limited (I use a vintage gas stove), but my understanding is that the surface of the bottom of the pot needs to have enough contact with the cooktop, which it would but for a fairly decent engraving of "18/10 stainless". I thought though (and I'm probably wrong but I did look it up on wikipedia and it advised so), that the pot also needs to be somewhat receptive to magnetism which it is not (I tested a magnet on the bottom of the pan). So that reviewer is probably right.

I also bought this to use my induction stovetop. Very well made. I was really disappointed. I find that even when I do a search for induction compatible cookware, the results include products that are not compatible which is annoying, as you then have to read the all information very carefully to be sure.Did you ever find one you really like??

Yes. The interior is stainless. I don't know about induction as I don't use it, but I imagine it work as well as any metal pot will on induction. I use mine on a gas cooktop.

I found the open stock pans from this set at Ross. The tag specifically says they work for induction cooking.

To elaborate a little further. Induction compatible cookware is made with ferris metals. So after trying to stick a magnet to the bottom of the pot it did not stick. Also newer cooking ware is often labeled as induction suitable as my new set is, and after testing those with a magnet the magnet stuck. So again. This pot does not work with an induction cooktop.

Yes, it is induction compatible (logo is on the bottom). I might also add that this is one of the "best" pressure cookers I've ever used. So many nice features (I know, sounds like I work for the company)and the pressure cooker construction would indicate that this should outlast most people. :) Wish you the best!

If you are referring to a glass cooktop range, then yes it is induction compatible. It has a thick core on the bottom and a flat surface. It is very large and will require a large cooking surface. If you are asking if it has ferromagnetic metal in it, I cannot say.

I do not have an induction cook top. This was a gift for our son in law. He has a gas stove top and absolutely Loves the pot.

Nope, sorry. :(I put in an induction cooktop, not thinking about the pans. Had to stop using my calaphalon and buy some new ones. Now, we're back to gas. I would gladly give up my calaphalon to go back to induction!

I have a Samsung Induction cooktop so I cannot answer your question but I do not see why your brand would be any different....as long as the pots can work with induction.

No...I have the Cuisinart Stainless cookware for the induction cooktop and thought I would get this to match my cookware. Ordered it, and it didn't work. I thought maybe it was defective and returned it and reordered. Again it didn't work on my induction cooktop. This pot has an aluminum encapuslate bottom. It must have a hard adnoized stainless bottom to work with an induction cooktop. Sorry, but it doesn't work.

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

Sorry, don't know the answer to that, but the manufacturer should know the answer. Some where I seem to remember hearing that they had special pots for use on induction cooktops. Do hope you can find out if it works as the Magefesa is the best item I have in my kitchen. It is wonderful!!
