Would someone who owns this kettle be kind enough to do the magnet test? IF a magnet holds to the bottom, it will work on induction cooktop. Thanks!

I tried my polder magnetic timer against the bottom - does not stick to the bottom of the teapot at all, not one bit.

The best stainless steel is NOT magnetic, and it will work perfectly on an induction range. The magnet test is not the final answer, although if it is magnetic is should work as well.

NoThis is completely made of aluminum. Induction cooktops need a magnetized cooking pot or pan to work. If you are looking for a kettle that will work, many stainless steel kettles will do the job. Just make sure to read the description fully and reviews.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

The way to determine whether or not a pot is compatible with an induction cooktop is by doing the 'magnet test'. If a magnet will NOT adhere to the bottom of the pan (regardless if the sides of the pot stainless steel) then the pot will most likely NOT be compatible with an induction cook top. Which brings me to your answer - no, a magnet will not adhere to the bottom of the pot so it is unlikely this is compatible with an induction cook top.

I just received my Faberware Classic today, a magnet does not stick to it. I have a Nuwave induction cooktop and tried to boil some water, it worked perfectly. So, in my opinion it works just fine...as far as the magnet theory, well.....

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

Brian, since this is a single wall stainless steel with no magnetic bottom, it will not perform well on an induction stove. Recommend you find a pot with dual bottom construction.

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

Does not work with induction cooktop. I just opened mine, and it does not attract a magnet at all. Apparently the "steel" in "Stainless Steel" is not iron-with-nickel (which makes no sense to me). The bottom has an aluminum core. Whatever the metallurgy, it is not magnetic and not suitable for induction heating.

No. It doesn't say induction on the kettle bottom, and magnets don't stick to the bottom.

a magnet did attract to the bottom. That doesn't work with my original 70's pots. I haven't used it on my induction cooktop, assuming this was like the older stuff...go figure.

Can this tea kettle be used on a induction coil stove top? Will a magnet stick to it?

don't know anything about induction but a magnet does stick to the bottom of the kettle, nowhere else on the kettle, but the bottom, yes.

It can be used on an induction stove top. It is not magnetic, it's made out of copper with a tin lining.

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.

Well, they say that if a magnet will stick to it, then it is okay for an induction stovetop. I tried it and it doesn't stick, so I would assume that it isn't. Too bad, because I LOVE this pot. I am glad I just have a regular stovetop...I would hate to cook without it.

My understanding is that if a magnet sticks to a surface, it will work with induction. I just pulled a magnet on the fridge to check for you and it does stick to the pan. I don't know why you would want to use this on a cooktop, but yes, it appears you could.
