I thought copper couldn't be used on induction cook tops. I was refereed here for a great pan for induction

I do not have an induction cooktop but is planning to have one in the future. That is the reason I bought the Sitram although mine is stainless steel not copper. Stainless steel will also not work on induction but the Sitram has an iron core that is designed to work on induction.

Sitram profiserie is aluminum not copper. The sitram catering line is copper, and those are not induction capable

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

Copper is not induction ready metal, as it is not magnetic. This pan you are looking at is in fact induction ready because it is stainless steel. The core of the pan has a copper center for even heat distribution, and is then wrapped with the induction ready magnetic stainless steel.

Sitram profiserie has an aluminum disk fused to the stainless steel bottom of the pan. A second disk of stainless steel is fused to the bottom of the aluminum disk. This gives the even heat of aluminum with the durability and induction proprties of stainless steel. It also makes for a lighter pan since the sides of the pans are thinner. Only knock I have heard on this design is that the eveness of the heat does not extend up the sides of the pan like copper or aluminum clad pans. Hasn't been a problem for me. Pans should last you a lifetime.

I am sorry, but I will not be able to answer your question since I do not have an induction cooktop. I have natural gas in my kitchen. I remember reading somewhere that induction stoves must use iron pots, or have a magnetic disk at the bottom. Perhaps you could call Cuisinart and they would tell you for sure.

The Emeril All-Clad pan and any other hard anodized pot or pan cannot be used on an induction cook top. the are nonmagnetic, therefore not compatible.

I have limited knowledge of the induction process, but I believe that it involves the use of ferrous metals, and I doubt that there are ferrous metals in this pan. I you like, I will get a magnet tomorrow and find that out, but I'm quite busy now. J

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.

It is a well built - high quality pan (for the price) but it is NOT usable with induction cooktops.

Inside pan is not magnetic, so can't be used on induction stove tops. However, the bottom is just 'okay' to use on regular electric or gas stoves, because it has a smallish (approx. 2" diameter) flat area on bottom of otherwise rounded pan bottom.

Aluminum or copper alone does not work on an induction stove because of the materials' magnetic and electrical properties. Aluminum and copper cookware are more conductive than steel, and the skin depth in these materials is larger since they are non-magnetic. The current flows in a thicker layer in the metal, encounters less resistance and so produces less heat. The induction cooker will not work efficiently with such pots. In short - no I wouldn't suggest it.

To work with an induction cooktop a pan must contain iron which responds to a magnetic field. If a pan is made of aluminum, copper or non-magnetic metal, it isn't compatible with an induction cooktop. Check to see what the pan in question is made of.

Sherry,I got all the instructions out that came with this pan and went over them, and I would not recommend use of this pan on your Induction Cooktop, hope this helps

I'm sorry I don't know what an induction cooktop is. I do know however that these pots and pans are great...this is the second set I have and I love them. There were no scratches and no rusting...I have used them on gas and electric...but again I have no idea what an induction cook top is. I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Good luck.

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.

The bottom of these pans are made from aluminum. This material is not ferromagnetic so its is unlikely to work on an induction cook top.

You may want to check the description of the pan. I don't think it's reccomended for induction stove tops.

NO, I just called Orgreenic, Telebrands, because I have an induction cooktop and they said it is not for use with induction cooking.

Yes, It can be used on an induction cooktop. That's what I have....and that's what I cook on. Feel free to buy...I can assure u, u will love it, like I do :-)

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!
