Can this be used on an induction stovetop?

probably not...there's not enough flat bottom surface to work (if it will at all). This is best used on a gas stove or on a portable butane gas burner.

That's how I wanted to use the one I ordered. But the pan only touches the cooktop on four little feet. The individual indentations are above, not in contact with, the cooktop. I sent mine back. Hope that helps.

Yes. It is cast iron and cast iron is ferromagnetic which means it is compatible. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

I am not sure about an induction cooktop but we have a ceramic glass cooktop and it works on it but the burn is a little large for the size of the pot so we have to be careful not to let the handle get too hot.

I have a gas stove -- but I don't see any problem with using it on an induction stove top.

this pan will not work on an induction stove. you need to use a ferromagnetic metal like cast iron or stainless steel.

Since I don't have an induction stove I don't know the answer to your question. Have you tried the FAQ's on the Calphalon site?

I have not tried it on induction cook top. Sorry to say. So far have used it on glass top stove only. Perhaps the mfg might be able to give you an answer. Enjoy your Spring and Summer.

I would not recommend use on an induction cooktop. This pot has permanently marred my cooktop. A call to farberware resulted only in lip service.

I don't have an induction stove top, but to help answer your question, it does not have a magnetic base so I don't think this will work on an induction stove.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with induction stoves. It's a great kettle, though. Good luck.

I believe you can. I don't have an induction stove but I didn't see anything that warned against it. It really is a wonderful pan..I am thrilled with mine and use it so much it stays on the stove! Easy to clean..doesn't warp like my old pan did.

I don't know. I don't have an induction cooktop so I've never tried to use it on one.

If induction works with cast iron, I don't see why not. Outside bottom of the pan is flat, which means it would have full contact with the stove.

Sorry, but I really don't have any knowledge of induction cooktops. The outside surface of the pan is stainless steel. Hope that helps...

Yes, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

I don't have an induction cooktop but I looked it up for you. Yes, you can use this pot with an induction stovetop. The pot material is actually anodized steel.

The short answer is that it cannot be used on a ceramic/induction stovetop. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges. I checked this teakettle with a magnet and it does not attracdt magnetic charges. You might also want to call the manufacturer about this....

I checked the pan for you and NO it can NOT be used on an induction stove, you need to find a pan with a magnetic grade of stainless steel, if a magnet sticks to the outside of the pan on the area tha touches the stove then you can use it. AGAIN:: THIS PAN WILL NOT WORK ON INDUCTION STOVE TOPS.
