does a magnet stick to this pot?

Never tried putting a magnet on it. I'm no metallurgist, but from the feel of it I would guess a magnet would not stick, but I honestly don't know.

Yes a magnet will stick to the sides and bottoms of the pots and pans, however a magnet will not stick to the lids.

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

A magnet does stick to the pan, so I am guessing that will tell you what you need to know, though I have not used it with an induction stove. (I hear that they are great -- do they get really hot? I could use that!)

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

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

This pot has a heavy stainless steel base. Any pot with a magnetic base should work.

To elaborate a little further. Induction compatible cookware is made with ferris metals. So after trying to stick a magnet to the bottom of the pot it did not stick. Also newer cooking ware is often labeled as induction suitable as my new set is, and after testing those with a magnet the magnet stuck. So again. This pot does not work with an induction cooktop.

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.

Just tried it. The magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot and the handles, but not to the sides.

Yes... although i havent tried... it is metal and a magnet should stick to it!

Yes, you can test any pot with a magnet. If the magnet sticks it will work on an induction cook top.

A magnet definitely sticks to the bottom. I've had this griddle over 2 years now, and I absolutely love it. I accidentally left a burner on and had a grease burn on the bottom that would not soak off. I used Barkeeper's Friend. and it looks brand new.

Mr. Behr, a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom of this pan. One of the main reasons I love this pan is for its even heat distribution, which is superior to any other I have used, such as Analon brand skillet. I can fill it from edge to edge and cooking is near perfect throughout. I only use medium heat setting, or lower. I hope this was helpful. Thank you.

Yes, a magnet will stick to the bottom of this pot..............as well as the side, the top, and the handles...........

The problem is, that if a magnet does not stick to the bottom of the pot or pan ,it will not work! Weight is not the issue! You practically have to use their pots in order to make it work correctly! I had to send mine back!
