is this pot usable on an induction cooktop?

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 no knowledge or experience regarding induction cooking ... sorry I cannot answer your question.

A person who purchased the 5 QT version of this pot says that it DOES work on their induction range. (See the Q&A; for that item).

I'm not very familiar with induction cooktops, however I think they need a high iron content. I would contact the company to be sure.

if it is 18/10 Stainless, it would work on induction. For stainless steel, it is the nickel content that matters when it comes to induction. 18/8 or lower would be iffy.

I don't have an induction cooktop, Works great on my gas range . I am sure it would work very well on any cooking surface..I like it very much, glad to have it..

After reading your question, I placed a magnet to the bottom of the pot and it did stick. So I would say yes, it would work with an induction stove top.

Sorry to contradict some of the other answers but... yes... you can use it on an induction cooktop... but with these caveats: This is an aluminum cooker so you would have to put a steel or iron "cooking plate" under it, the induction coil heats up the steel/iron plate which then heats up the pressure cooker, we do this with a couple of nice aluminum pans that we like to use but don't work with induction. AND... be aware that this is one heavy mother of a cooker so you might need to test your induction cooktop to see if it will handle the weight...

I have a glass top stove and the pot works well. As the bottom of the pot is metal, I would believe it would work on an induction top also.

I don't know. I don't have an induction cooktop so I've never tried to use it on one.

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

i don't have an induction cooktop, so i really don't know. You might like to call the company.

I haven't used it on induction cooktop. But pan is right balance of heavy weight without being clumsy and easy to clean. Cooks evenly on regular electric burner. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, no it can't. Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic metal and this pot does not meet that requirement.

I have not yet tested this...however, the pot is stainless steel which should work on a induction surface. As long as the steel is of magnetic grade. I can go and see later if a magnet will stick to the pot's bottom. If it doesn't work though, you can also purchase a interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces. My guess however, is that it would work.

Yes, but I'm not sure if it works with an induction cooktop. Great pasta pot though. Love mine and use it a ton for both pasta and veggies. Paint is chipping off but I don't care.

Not an expert but the bottom of the pot is relatively flat so there is no reason it shouldn't work. Induction will work on stainless. I was concerned when I bought this pot that it would be cheap and flimsy but fairly nice pot for the price.

I do not have an induction cook-top, but the pot is made of a thin sheet of stainless steel and the base is not that big. I suspect it will not work, but I'm not certain.

yes, i believe any all-clad piece can be used on an induction cooktop as its outer shell is stainless steel.

I'm sorry I don't know what an induction cooktop is. I do know however that these pots and pans are great...this is the second set I have and I love them. There were no scratches and no rusting...I have used them on gas and electric...but again I have no idea what an induction cook top is. I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Good luck.

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.
