Can this saucepan be used on induction cooktop? (i.e. is it a ferrous material on the bottom?)

Yes it can. There is a ferrous plate on the bottom that works with induction cooking. I like it and it performs very well, and I would buy another when the need arises.

I just tested a magnet and there was a strong connection. It should work based on this.

Yes, I am using it on an induction cooktop. It is abit stick to the bottom but quite effeciency to save time and energy.

It is a very heavy set of pans with precise edges on the bottoms. I would not use it on my induction stove top. I use it on a heavy duty European stove with solid heat plates. I use Calphalon on my induction top, it is a much lighter product with more rounded edges on the bottoms.

According to another reviewer, this pot is not compatable with induction cooktops. It is stainless but has an aluminum clad bottom.

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.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content). http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

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

Wikipedia says that stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. I tested this pot with a refrigerator magnet and it did not stick. Based on that, I think that this pot is not usable on an induction cooktop. None of the literature that came with the pot made mention of an induction cooktop.

I have not tried this on an induction cooktop. The skillet is made of aluninum so the magnet should not stick to it.

Well, here's my answer. My knowledge with induction is somewhat limited (I use a vintage gas stove), but my understanding is that the surface of the bottom of the pot needs to have enough contact with the cooktop, which it would but for a fairly decent engraving of "18/10 stainless". I thought though (and I'm probably wrong but I did look it up on wikipedia and it advised so), that the pot also needs to be somewhat receptive to magnetism which it is not (I tested a magnet on the bottom of the pan). So that reviewer is probably right.

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.

The answer is NO, this is not magnetic. I got out my trusty magnet to check and it did not adhere at all to the bottom. This is a great pan, but NOT for induction cooktops.

I called Cuisinart, they told me it was induction compatible. Unfortunately it definitely is not. Very nice pan in any case. If a magnet will stick to the bottom of a pan, it will identify induction ready cookware.

Yes, I was able to use it on induction cook top. The pan did not last me more than around 8 usage though because it started sticking even when there were no scratches on the surface at all. I ended up returning mine.

I believe it's iron so it should be fine to use on an induction burner. It is not stainless steel as it does hold a magnet! I have used this for many things.. Smoking meats to reheating steamed crabs. Heavy duty base, the lid could be aluminum. Hope this helps.

No, its not for induction cooktops. Personally....I think it's okay for "kitchen art" but not for cooking. I couldn't even give my set away....ended up at Goodwill.
