The instructions say that the pot should not be used on high heat, but how high do they mean on an induction cook top, a 8 or 9?

The NuWave is a portable unit--one of the tv infomercial products. Amazon also carries it. Yours is probably higher end than the portable two-fer-one unit I have. But it works very well, and since my regular stovetop isn't due for an upgrade yet, (knock on wood, don't need that expense). My stock pot is a 6 quart stainless steel I've had for several years. Bobby Flay probably endorses a good product. the Belgique pan we started discussing befre being side tracked on induction units is a nice pan. I particularly like the rounded shape. Good look with your search.

My induction unit runs by low, medium, medium high, and high with temperature increments in five degrees in each range. So I don't know the equivalent of an 8 or a 9. I would suggest you check your induction unit's instruction book to find which of the settings equals a medium heat and don't use a higher heat. The pan is safe at an oven temperatgure of 400 degrees fahrenheit. I got the feeling from the use and care recommendations that they are concerned with keeping the shiny, shiny finish pristine and beautiful. My cookware gets used hard. I use reasonable care, but I don't get all finickly about keepin it "for pretty". I plan to use it on low to medium, but I'm not going to fret about it. It's a pan for cooking ooey, gooey, sticky, messy things. It's not going to stay out of the box pretty. I would worry more if it were a non-stick interior, but it's a metal finish. So I'm just going to enjoy it. Good luck.

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I don't have an induction stove top, but I seem to remember that the test for whether a pot will work on an induction stove top is whether a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot. If this is a true test, then yes, a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot, therefore it should work on an induction stove top.

Absolutely! Have been doing so for the last couple of months. Be aware that these pots transfer heat amazingly well. It may take some adjusting to. Where I previously would use a fairly high heat, I've now dialed back and rarely need to go any higher than a medium/medium-high setting on my stove. I've never needed to use high, EVER! Over all I'm very pleased with these pots and pans.

I really don't know. If you plan on using on an induction cook top, don't waste your money. If not, quality good, would not hesitate to buy if using on a regular cook top.

Sorry Vickie, I have no idea. I quit using the pan when I found out how warped the bottom was. I have one of those flat top stoves, (forgot the official term), and one half of the pan would hardly heat. Unless you get one that has a completely flat bottom I would say "no" to the induction question.

I have an electric stove. I do not have experience with induction surfaces. The bottom of the pot is perfectly flat without a design if that helps you make a decision. I've enjoyed my pot for making pasta sauces and soups.

I have an older electric stove. Sorry, I can't help you with the induction question.

I have a glass top stove also and I honestly don't know what induction is. Sorry I couldn't help you.

The distance from the burner holes to the top of the grid is about 1 inch. On high, the flames will most certainly be in full contact with the pot and spread around the sides of a smaller one. If you find that the Low setting is still too hot, set the burner on High and continue turning the knob slowly towards the off setting and you can get it turned down to a simmer. Just keep an eye on it as it is easily blown out at this lower setting. This burner provides an extremely hot flame and if set properly, will boil water very quickly. I prefer it to the flat top ceramic range in the kitchen and use this burner almost every day for various purposes. REW.

I can imagine no reason why it wouldn't be. Induction is just the method of creating heat under the pot. It is stainless, and my pot actually requires a setting of 8 on my ten point indicator, on a regular electric stove

I don't know. I don't cook with induction. I wouldn't think so, based on the other pots I've used that are hybrid.

I have a flat top electric range - I don't believe it is induction, just electric ceramic/glasstop range. They work well. They are very flat bottomed, and have not bowed on the bottom. I did have the largest pot warp slightly around the sides, but I am afraid that I did that when I was curing the pot before use. I think I may have had it too high or done something wrong. You are only supposed to heat on medium heat, so it takes longer for the pot to get hot.... and I still use my cast iron for browning. However, I would buy these pots again, and plan on getting another set for my son when he is on his own. They are that good.

I am not sure about "induction cooktop" but I use it on an electric range and it is superb!

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

Yes, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

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

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.
