Can it be heated on an induction stove (will a magnet stick to the bottom)?

Wow, I'm not sure about that. It is stainless so I am going to assume it will behave the same as any stainless frying pan. Hope this helps!

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

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to either question since I've already returned it. It was so light weight. Felt cheap..like inexpensive alum pots.

I don't think so. First of all, the bottom is not flat and a magnet does not stick.

It most definitely CAN be used on an induction stove top. While it does not have the word or symbol for induction capable on the bottom of the unit, it boils water just fine on my induction unit. I did the magnet test, and there was no attraction, but it clearly says on the box and on the Bonavita web page that it is induction capable. So I tested it on my induction cooktop stove, and successfully boiled two kettles of boiling water. So there has to be some magnetic ferrous material in the Stainless Steel, because it unequivocally works AOK!

Well, I am not sure. It's pretty light and thin. However, if it is filled with water, it could be fine. Hope it helps.

The bottom is not magnetic. I am not sure about induction stove top, seems to me must be OK. I did not try. Best wishes :)

It should not work. Induction cooking requires a ferrous metal and if you don't have one. Induction cooking won't work. This pan is aluminum and Titanium. neither of which are magnetic."A magnet will stick to metals that are ferrous such as iron, steel or nickel. A magnet will not stick to non-ferrous metals such as titanium, gold, brass and aluminum. Magnets do not usually stick to metals that are most valuable."

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.

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried it and it's clearly ferromagnetic so induction should work fine. (I don't have one of those to test, however.) Hope this helps.

Hello Roge, Yes it can be used on an induction stove. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

I bought it as a gift. However if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work on the induction cook top.

I do not have an induction stove top. But, according to what I read about induction, if a magnet clings quite well to the bottom of the pot, itshould be safe to use for induction. You are totally on your own.

Yes, when I tried it a magnet did stick to the bottom pan. Hope that helps!

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

Good question. I just tried a magnet on the bottom of the pan and it did stick. I don't know if the weight of the pan would damage the range top but yes it will stick so it will work on an induction range.

I do not have an induction burner, but I think the test to see if the cookware will work on induction is to check and see if a magnet sticks to the bottom. So I tried that, and the magnet did NOT stick to the bottom. It was a pretty strong magnet. So I assume it won't work on induction. That is all I know. Hope this helps.....Pat Woods

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

I have an induction stove and it definitely works well. It is not magnetic. There is a slight pull of the magnet to any part of the pot, but the magnet will fall away and does not stick to any part of the pot. Not sure what the scientific reason is. The pot may have enough steel to work on an induction stove, but not enough steel to cause a magnet to stick?

Hi, I bought this item .I don't have an induction stove so I searched here http://www.ask.com/wiki/Induction_cooking and it told me the metal must be made of ferromagnetic metal so being I didn't know exactly what that was I searched again here http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/magnetic_materials.htm#.VE-gmvl4pcQ So I would say anything that a magnet sticks to good would work according to what I have read,for your future purchases it is the best way to tell .I took a magnet to the set in question and it sticks real good too.So I believe it it a go.Ted

Inside pan is not magnetic, so can't be used on induction stove tops. However, the bottom is just 'okay' to use on regular electric or gas stoves, because it has a smallish (approx. 2" diameter) flat area on bottom of otherwise rounded pan bottom.

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.
