Will this pot work with induction? Does a magnet stick to the bottom

I do not think it will. It is stainless steel with no indication that the bottom is magnetic grade SS. If I had a proper magnet to verify I would, sorry!

A magnet sticks to it. I haven't tried it on my induction top yet. If a magnet sticks, it should work.

I don't think so. I believe a magnet must stick to the bottom in order to work on an induction cooktop. A magnet does not stick to my Paula Deen cookware. However it is very nice cookware for conventional stoves.

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.

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

No it does not. I got an error message on my induction burner. The magnet doesn't stick on the pot bottom either.

The bottom is not magnetic. I am not sure about induction stove top, seems to me must be OK. I did not try. Best wishes :)

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

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 have not yet tested this...however, the pot is stainless steel which should work on a induction surface. As long as the steel is of magnetic grade. I can go and see later if a magnet will stick to the pot's bottom. If it doesn't work though, you can also purchase a interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces. My guess however, is that it would work.

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.)

Not an expert but the bottom of the pot is relatively flat so there is no reason it shouldn't work. Induction will work on stainless. I was concerned when I bought this pot that it would be cheap and flimsy but fairly nice pot for the price.

No, it can't. I read "stainless steel" in the description and mistakenly assumed both pots were stainless and bought it. If I had seen it in a store I would have read the, "Suitable for all heat sources except induction" on the packaging. Just in case, I put a magnet to the base of the bottom pot and then confirmed it would not stick.

Induction cooking is supposed to work with Stainless steel. I have not, however, confirmed it with this pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

A magnet does adhere to the bottom of the pan which I understand means it would be suitable on an induction type stove top.

I can stick a fridge magnet to the bottom of mine. Also, I have used it on an induction burner. Of course, that's the bottom, not the inner. The inner isn't the cooking part that needs to be magnetic for induction. The inner is surgical stainless steel.
