is the bottom metal or plastic? if its metal, does it stick to a magnet? (I use a magnet knife bar on the top of my stove to secure my utensil cup)

The bottom if the holder is plastic. But the sides are stainless steel so maybe that would work?

Sorry I can not help answer this question. I gave this item to my daughter as a gift.

I can't answer the first question. We pour hot water into the pot. 2nd question, magnets do not stick to stainless steel

The bottoms are indeed magnetic. I tested this by just taking a kitchen magnet off the fridge and it sticks to the bottom readily. Don't know what this means for an induction cooktop; but the unit works just great.

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 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 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 my refrigerator magnets do not stick. The stainless is really good quality and shiny. The handle could get too hot especially if near the burner-I usually use a pot holder to be safe but have used it without and it didn't feel hot- I think it depends what you cook in it- Very versatile- FYI I use it mainly as a water pitcher to fill my water dispenser and to mix and pour pancakes in it- only use it to cook in when all my cast-iron enameled pots are in use.. Hope this helps!

the magnet does not stick to the bottom of the pan i believe it is anodized aluminum and will not attract a magnet however I did try it with a magnet for you and it did not stick.

Sue, Hi! This product is metal. The magnets are strong enough to stay in place without slipping. It has worked really well for me. I placed it on the side of the refrigerator and I really like it. Also, when my grandkids come over, I just push the two pieces together more tightly and that way they only tear off one towel at a time. I wish I had found this years ago.

It is all plastic and then heating element on the bottom (don't know what metal is it, but it scratches and in the places it gets scratched residue won't go off even if you use special solutions).

A refrigerator magnet sticks to it, so if what you say is true, it's not really made of stainless steel.

The bottom is stainless steel but I'm not sure if it's magnetic. You should get an induction disc so you can use more pans

No, a magnet does not stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried a heavy magnet and it does not adhere. Love this pot, it is a nice size and weight. Clean up is not to difficult.

I had a magnet here and tried it because a lot of people seem to ask. It did not stick to bottom or sides of pot. This is a pretty good magnet so if a magnet is decider then I say no. Too bad love the pot.

Don't know if the pan itself is magnetic, but I just used a magnet on the bottom of mine to test it and the magnet sticks to it. Hope that answers your question.
