How well does this set perform on induction cooktops?
1308830
We have been using an induction cooktop for two years, and have used the Scanpan CTX set, as well as some older cast iron pans. Both the induction top and the Scanpans have been superb. I won't use anything else. They are pricey to be sure, but they perform really well. You'll need to learn a couple of tricks for cleaning if one pan begins to stick. Scanpan has several options. I usually use soapy water when the pan is still hot, but Bartenders Helper also works great. I find this extra cleaning is needed every couple of months. We run a B&B;, so these pans are used every day.

I have used this set every day since it first came out. What amazes me is that it looks like it's NEVER been used! It is an excellent pan for induction cooking. Very even heating. I've never had a problem with "hot spots" or burning. I've also never used an abrasive cleaner on them. Well worth the purchase price. Very easy to keep clean and new looking. Dishwasher friendly as well. I prefer to hand wash mine, but in a pinch, it has hit the dishwasher maybe a dozen times in 6 years. My husband hasn't even been able to screw them up!!!

Absolutely outstanding, we have another set of different pans that are for induction that work well but nothing like these. They are the best on the market (at the rates I am willing to pay anyway) the non stick works as advertised, does not scratch and based on my years of scanpan ownership (I have a dozen or so aluminum scanpans, they stand behind the product and replace for free any that had handle problems or other non-abuse situations. If you can stand the cost, go for them.

As best I could tell. I use mine on my induction cooktop and it has been great.

I do not have an induction cooktop, so I cannot give you an answer. I use the cookware on gas. Sorry I cannot be helpful. I like the cookware a lot.

Hi Carl, Did you buy this set?? If not, what did you buy?? I just bought a GE induction cooktop too and am searching for cookware that doesn't cost a fortune.

Thank you for your question - unfortunately this set will not function on an induction cooktop as the stainless steel is non-magnetic.

Yes, the griddle worked fine on induction. I gave it a one-star rating for the failure of the non-stick coating to last less than 50 uses, which made this $70 pan an expensive mistake.

I've used this set for nearly 3 years on my Samsung induction stovetop with absolutely no problems; in fact, they start to "buzz" when they're about an inch above the "burner."

I bought this set for my new induction cooktop. It IS induction ready. Good bargain for the price.

I'm not sure what an induction cooktop is, so I don't really know. I have a ceramic top and it works well.

I use mine on our induction cooktop and am totally satisfied with the results!!

Yes it is induction safe. Although I did return my set. We found that it had some nice design features , but found the set to be too light weight and found the set with a couple of dents upon delivery.

i forgot to mention its best if you use stainless steel cookware, not just aluminum. as long as the bottoms are either copper or stainless they will cook well on an induction unit. my cookware is stainless..

There is a Magma 10 Piece set that is made specifically for induction cook tops. When I was looking for my set I found both out there.

I'm looking at a listing for this set on another website and the listing says "not suitable for induction cooktops." I don't think you can use any aluminum on induction cooktops.

Yes, they do. If a magnet is attracted to the base of the cookware, it will do fine on an induction range.

The pots work very well on my single induction cooktop. It isn't a NuWave but very similar.
