Can this be used on an induction stove top. I read that a magnet will stick to it but is the bottom flat?

DonSorry I can't answer this accurately for you. Even though I've used it tent camping & motorcycling, I can't say whether it is totally flat or not. Currently the coffee maker is packed away for the next few months. I can tell you it perks fast and can make great coffee providing you have good ground coffee and good water to start with.

The bottom is flat, and a magnet does stick to it. The spindle and basket are made together and can not be separated for washing. The lid is also hinged & not removable. Hope this helps.

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

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

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

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom & sides of the pan. These can be used on an induction cooktop. You would not believe how fast water boils & food cooks on induction.

If the base will hold a magnet, it will work on an induction cooktop. This was my question also

The bottom is flat and it can be used on any kind of cooking top include induction cook top. Highly recommend!

Hi - I don't have an induction cooktop, so I can't be certain. However, I did read once that if a magnet sticks to your pan, that it will work on an induction cooktop. So, I just tried it and a magnet did stick to the one I have. As I said in my review, I can't honestly recommend this item, but maybe it will work better for you. I hope that helps!

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon.Image

Yes, I use it on an induction stove. Best pan I ever bought. You can cook a fried egg on it and it won't stick, not even the slightest.

since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is... » Read More since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. « Show Less

I believe it has to be magnetic to use on induction stovetops and I don't think that applies to this particular pot. I love mine but I don't have an induction stovetop.

Bottom is flat but it will not work on conduction cook top. If a magnet won't stick to it it will not work on a conduction cook top.

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

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.
