What's the diameter of the base? Trying to determine how well it'll work on my induction cooktop. Thanks!

The one I got has a 7 inch diameter for the flat part on the bottom. I use mine on an electric stove and it works well. The bottom is nice a perfectly flat so it should work extremely well on an induction type heating element.

The diameter of the larger circle is 10.5" like everyone else has said. I use pots that are almost 10" in diameter. These ==> 1 X New Professional Commercial Grade 8 QT (Quart) Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 3-Ply Clad Base, Induction Ready, With Lid Cover NSF Certified ItemHope this helps.

I have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success. My thinking is, the contact area is too small to transfer the "induction" function of the stove. I have the NuWave table too model. My take a way lesson, maximum contact required for best function of induction stove. Glad you enquired about it. Now I need to try it on my cook top. Its my observation induction requires really flat surface cookware to be effective. Lodge has reengineered their pans to be more responsive to induction stoves. If I get a chance I will test them too.

~1.75". It has a rubber sleeve over the handle so probably should not go in oven. Not sure how things get cooked with induction.

I don't have an induction stove top, but to help answer your question, it does not have a magnetic base so I don't think this will work on an induction stove.

Not sure and don't have any experience with induction cooktops but I would call Cusinart's toll-free number and ask one of their customer service reps. They should know if the bottom of this pan has the right kind(s) of metal to react and create heat on the cooking surface.

It works on my GE induction cooktop just fine. As long as you have a surface "element" area the correct size to the pan size you are trying to use on your induction cooktop, but I am guessing you are already aware of that issue.

Sherry,I got all the instructions out that came with this pan and went over them, and I would not recommend use of this pan on your Induction Cooktop, hope this helps

The base is slightly less than 10" where it contacts the stove top; the pan opening on top of the pan at its highest is slightly less than 12". The base is not thick like on some pans (which I like because of the even distribution of heat) which could be 1/4" or more. This base is quite thin, although it seems to be good quality.

I'm repeating this answer everywhere I see a question regarding an induction range or cook top so I hope people don't get tired of seeing it. I have a GE Profile Induction Range and this tea kettle "does" work. The bottom of the teapot is almost 9" across. There is a copper disc in the center, 2.5" across, that is slightly recessed (and obviously would not touch the glass of an induction range top). Around that disc is a 2-1/4" across band of stainless (which is the only portion of this teapot bottom that touches the range top). Around that is an outer band, width 1", that is recessed 1/4" (and does not touch the range top). So, you have from center to outer edge, a copper disc (slightly recessed), a stainless band (that touches the range top), and then an outer recessed band (that does not touch the range top). The center disc is measured not from center point but in it's entirety. All combined these 3 components make up the almost 9" of surface on the bottom of the teapot. Rest assured the amount of stainless that touches the cook top is plenty sufficient. I'm very happy with this tea kettle.

Sorry, cannot help. I have this away because it would not work on my Induction cooktop.

The induction surface is 10 inches in diameter. Any pot that has a bottom that size or less will work. Our stock pot is 8 quarts and it works very well.

Steve, the diameter of the base is 3 inches but as you move from bottom to top the pot bulges to 4 inches. This will make 2 normal American sized cups of coffee. When I drink Turkish I make a it large and not like the Turkish drink their coffee. Something to add here, I purchased this to use on an induction cooker and it works great! I purchased a number of them to rotate... :) Really well built!

Just checked the Cuisinart site. This pot will not work on an induction cooktop.

I use mine on my induction glass cooktop. I wouldn't slide it around while it's on the cook top.

I purchased this item and the diameter isn't too big. I'd say its about the size of a small burner for an electric stove. I just use the burner to heat charcoal. I've had it for a year now and it works fine, no complaints.

This item is made mostly of aluminum, including all of the exterior. Therefore, it will not work on an induction cooktop even though it has a thin stainless steel interior. Also, the bottom is actually raised above the burner surface, and thus this item will also not work with a convention smooth cooktop. It's really best suited to a gas cooktop.
