You can use this pot with any kitchen cooking surface, even induction. Bak or Broil in any oven (except Microwaves of course)

Not sure myself but ordering one as have gas so not wasted either way. But this should give some confidence it works.http://ces.ca.uky.edu/magoffin-files/summer_2011.pdfOnly cookware made of cast iron, three ply stainless steel that contains a carbon steel core, enameled steel, and enamel coated cast iron will work on an induction cooking surface. Keep in mind that not all stainless steel pans will react to a magnetic field.

To tell if a pot or pan is induction-compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop.

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

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!

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

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 believe others have responded they are using with induction stoves. I don't have an induction stove and a quick web search said one test to check if cookware was compatible with induction stoves is to see if a magnet will stick to the cookware. A magnet does not stick to this cookware.

This has still not been answered well enough to determine if it will work on an induction surface or not.Lack of a picture of the bottom of the pan doesn't show us if it is marked "Magneto" which is how GreenPan marks their Induction friendly pans.

I looked up how to tell if it is, if a magnet sticks to it it is an induction pan, I got out my trusty magnet and voila, it stuck, so the answer is yes! I hope this helped:)

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

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

The 3rd picture shows a coil, which is the symbol for induction as someone already said.SS by itself is not induction ready as SS is not magnetic. Usually manufacturers will put a metal bottom on SS pans to make them induction ready.

I have not tried it on an induction stove as I have not used one of those yet, but reading about those stoves I found these as a short form of guide for whether some cooking device will work with it: "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface." (on Wikipedia) and "Your cast-iron skillet is a sure bet, and much of your stainless steel should work fine, too. If you aren't sure if your cookware will work, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of it. If it sticks, you're in business." - I quickly double-checked the pan with a magnet, and it definitely stuck to it. So yes, it should work on induction stoves.

Please only answer this question if you have an INDUCTION cooktop. We have an INDUCTION cooktop and IT DOES NOT WORK. A magnet will not stick to the pan. Although the Cuisinart website seems to say that this line is induction friendly, IT IS NOT. DO NOT BELIEVE THE YES ANSWERS HERE!

Well, they say that if a magnet will stick to it, then it is okay for an induction stovetop. I tried it and it doesn't stick, so I would assume that it isn't. Too bad, because I LOVE this pot. I am glad I just have a regular stovetop...I would hate to cook without it.

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 wasn't entirely sure how to know at first. But, when I googled how to find out...I was told to try sticking a magnet to bottom of pot. If it stuck then it would be considered compatible with inductive cooking. The magnet did stick! I hope this helps.
