Does this pot work on an induction stovetop? It must have a magnetic bottom to work with induction.

I'm guessing it will work on an induction stove as it happily clings to a magnet.

Yes Lynda, I read your question and I tried a magnet and yes it does attract to magnets and so your to go and if you were wondering about the pot it's real nice, large enough to 24oz. I hope I answered your question. good luck.

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

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 it took me a while. renos in the kitchen, had to find it. I took a magnet to it. it sticks. so i think that's what you meant by magnetic bottom. hope it works. its a beautiful kettle for boiling water for tea with a great pour.

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?

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.

Hello Vickie,Thank you for your inquiry. No that will not work on an induction stovetop. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

I don't know if the bottom is magnetic or not. My induction cooktop is not fancy, just your run of the mill white one that is impossible to keep clean! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It's stainless steel which is magnetic and induction cooking uses magnetism, though I don't know exactly how that works. Other stainless steel pots would probably work, but I bought these because I knew they were made to work with induction, and that the metal wouldn't be mixed or layered with something that wouldn't work as well. You could sure try your regular stainless steel pots first, though, if you have them. If the pot isn't pure stainless steel it wouldn't work, either not at all or not as well, depending on its composition. The answer below is a more scientific answer!

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.

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

Induction cook tops require the bottom of any pot or pan to be magnetic. This cookware has an aluminum base infused between two layers of stainless steel. Using a magnet I personally Checked for magnetic properties. The bottom of the pan is non magnetic therefore, it probably will not work on an induction type range.

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

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.

These pans do NOT work on induction stovetops - I don't think the other two people who answered know what an 'induction' stovetop is. They are not magnetic in ANY fashion, which is a requirement of an induction stove. Avoid these pans.

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.

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.

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.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content). http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

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.
