Will magnets stick to the pot's metal? Or is truly 18/10 stainless steel? Does the handle get too hot to touch?

Magnets DO NOT stick to the pot's metal. It is very good quality stainles steel. I can't even begin to list the many things I've used it for and on a daily basis.

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!

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan. As for the handle I do not know as I use my pot for my coffee maker.

A magnet will not stick. The bottom is marked 18/10. I do not know whether the handle gets hot since I only use it to mix a lye solution for soapmaking.

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.

No if you take a magnet it doesn't stick to it. I have the Nuwave induction system and with this it gives you a alarm of pots that can't be used and this pot is one that can't be used. Sorry

It's a wooden handle so it doesn't really get super hot, but there is boiling water just below it and metal at either end, so just as a matter of caution I use the mitt. That way I also don't worry about the steam coming out of the spout when I pour into the teapot.

Yes, a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pans, and to the sides and top of pan. I took a magnet from my refrig. and tried it. The pans are very light weight and not a heavy weight of stainless steel and after cooking in it, leaves like a rust stain that I have to scrub out after every use. I don't know what's up with that?? The Top Lid part that locks, is held in place by a little piece of straight metal that is not screwed in or anything to the side of the pans, and they come out all the time. This is dangerous when trying to pour hot water out of the tops and the pins fall out and let the lid fall off. Now the lids won't lock either because I lost the pins and didn't notice they had fallen out. For the money it was ok. But the next time I'll buy a more expensive set, and hopefully the lids will lock on right. I still use the big pot, and I hold the lid on while I pour liquid off. D.Wright

Must use stainless that is magnetic.most stainless is not. 18/12 stainless (most common) is not 20/14? Is. Most cookware is not usable on induction. Those that are are usually clearly noted. When shopping take a magnet. If it sticks to the cookware it will work

No, a magnet will not stick. And this is quite a small pot... only shy of 4 cups max.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

On mine the part that surrounds the stoneware crock (with the circles on it) is metal and it does get hot. The stoneware gets hot too obviously. The handles and control knob are plastic but I've had mine on for hours at a time and those have never gotten hot.

The handle does get a little warm close to the pot. and the lids knob does get hot.

Put a magnet or magnetic stick up on the pot bottom. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it will work. If it does not stick, it will not work. A thick bottom that conducts heat evenly is best for even cooking.

The handle is also made of cast iron. I have not had it get too hot to touch, if that is what you are wondering.

A magnet does stick to the bottom, however, the first time I used the large pot one of the handles must have got too hot because it broke. Very disappointing and very annoying to use it without a handle

It can get a bit warm. I keep a flat pot holder, kitchen cloth close. But, I wouldn't trade this wok for any of those with the screwed on handle (or any other wok, really). No moving parts, solid handle, solid feel.

No, a magnet will not stick to the base. I have both the original pot and an additional one I purchased later and neither allow a magnet to stick to the base at all - ZERO attraction inside or out (my test magnets have a very small attraction to the sides). However, there is a warmer setting on the pot so you can keep food warm there or, more short term, buy the glass top (unfortunately the glass top has a vent hole in it).

I think that it isn't 18/10 stainless, maybe it's under the 18/10 stainless. It hasn't rust because I used it three times.The pot lid detach from the pot, it convenient.

I have this pot. I have never noticed it getting to hot to touch while cooking I can always grab it. I hope this helps
