Unfortunately I cannot answer. I purchased ithis as a gift for my niece. She also does not have an induction oven.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

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.

a magnet did attract to the bottom. That doesn't work with my original 70's pots. I haven't used it on my induction cooktop, assuming this was like the older stuff...go figure.

I don't know if the bottom is magnetic or not. My induction cooktop is not fancy, just your run of the mill white one that is impossible to keep clean! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, no, no. Most stainless cookware will not work on induction ranges that require pans to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan it indicates induction compatibility. All cast iron qualifies. If a stainless steel, ceramic or other pan qualifies, the manufacturer will surely proclaim that feature.

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 :)

I have one. A magnet will not stick to the bottom and therefore it can not be use on an induction cook top.

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

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, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

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.

I could not get a magnet to stick to the bottom of my inner pot. I have what I believe is the newest model--mine has the yogurt-making function. Even if a magnet stuck, you should be aware that the bottom of this pot is concave, not flat, so only the outer-most rim of the bottom would make contact with your stovetop. However, the Instant Pot itself has a "keep warm" function.

No, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on an induction stove. This pan is all aluminum (no clad on the bottom) therefore will not work.

IF there isnt ANY steel on the bottom it will NOT work with the induction cooktop! We have a few induction burners and a magnet MUST stick/hold well to the bottom of the pot for it to work. IF this is a true stainless as the title says, it WILL NOT work on an induction burner.

If I understand how induction stoves work, then no. The pot is not magnetic (some stainless steels are not), and your stove would not be able to induce heat in said pot. Sorry for the delay
