Is the metal suitable for induction (only metal) heating cooktop? It must be special metal, or crockery like blu' tray induc product?

Alex, these aren't designed for any kind of cooking/heating of food. But they do keep cooked food hot for a few hours!

Not on these. They are coated in plastic. I have these lunch boxes and love them but would NEVER think to use them on my induction top.

No. Nothing is good for induction cooking except steel or iron with a thick base that has enough iron that a magnet has strong attraction.If you can get past the word "good" and ask a more sensible question like "Can I cook with these on an induction burner" then the answer changes to "Yes you can but it will take longer to heat up".

I have a flat top Stove, it's perfect for that, I don't know what an Induction cooktop is, sorry

Sorry I am not familiar with an induction cooktop, I use it on coil burners. Works Great.

Test try your wok by placing magnetic strips or any magnetic items from your refrigerator. if the magnetic item stays you can use your wok on your induction cooktops. Steel or cast iron, enamel iron, stainless steel or (stainless steel) flat bottom pan/pots are suitable for induction cook stove. Heat-resistant glass, ceramic container, copper, aluminum are non-suitable for induction stove/cooktop.

My understanding of induction heating is that it uses a magnetic field to heat. So anything that's metal will work. This is metal, so I am 99.9% sure it will work.

Note that it says it has an aluminum base, so no. All of my stainless-steel cookware is useless for induction due to aluminum bases. Aluminum does not magnetize. Try putting a magnet up to aluminum can. No luck.

No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal. As is copper. Cast iron or stainless steel may be used on induction cooktops. akb &lt;+)))&gt;&lt;

I only have electric glass cook top so I do not know about induction cooktop. Sorry

Yes, the pan will work on an induction cooker. It is made of carbon steel and this being the case it is totally made of ferrous metal. Ferrous metals are any metals that a magnet will stick to. Not all metals are ferrous, but carbon steel definitely is. The best part is that you can use it on any style of heating element. This is a great pan and I did not hesitate in buying it. I think you too will find it a great pan. Happy cooking.

Best advice....always test cookware with a magnet. If it is magnetic, it will work fine on induction cooktops. Not all stainless steel is magnetic, as it depends on the percentage of chromium in the metal blend. ONLY use magnetic cookware for induction cooktops.

Great question! Unfortunately since the material is pure ceramic there is no metal that will react with your induction system.

Sorry, but I really don't have any knowledge of induction cooktops. The outside surface of the pan is stainless steel. Hope that helps...

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

this pot is aluminum and not induction ready, only stainless that is magnetic will function on induction. Galen S.

Yes. Induction works with any magnetic metal. (If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot or pan, it will work on induction cook tops.)

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.
