I have used one of these stock pots for years on a gas cooktop. Now that I have switched to an induction cooktop, it won't work yet the description says that it is compatible with induction cooktops. Is this a newer model?

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

I do not have an induction cooktop stove. My stove has raised burners and the pots have been performing well, except the saucepan. The saucepan developed a uniform ring around the inside of the pot, approximately 1 inch from the bottom. The pot was only used about 10 times before I noticed the ring. The manufacturer of the pots said that they would replace it but only if I paid the postage to mail it to California. I declined.

This griddle's bottom is raised above the stove surface. Take a very close look at the photo, and you might be able to discern this. Because of the raised base, the griddle will not work with your GE ceramic range top because it must be in contact with the cooktop. Disappointing, indeed. It will also not work with an induction cooktop, because of both this mentioned infirmity, as well as the fact that it's all aluminum. If you have a gas cooktop, it might work well. But I don't have experience with that. By the way, I know these answers to be fact because I went through this three years ago, and finally got the real scoop from a service person at All-Clad.

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.

I don't know. I do not have an induction stove. It is a metal pot. If an induction stove works with metal, it should work with this.

I don't know anything about an induction cooktop. Does it require certain pots and pans? This pan is totally flat on the bottom and works great on my glass top cooktop......if that is helpful info. I use my pot many times each week. I put it in the dishwasher and it sparkles like new. I love it! I prefer steamed veggies, so it is an essential item in my kitchen.

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.

Sorry, I have never had an induction cooktop and cannot answer your question.

I have an induction cooktop. The pan works just fine. The pan has a built in steel disk. --It is a very nice pan, you will like it.

I have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success. My thinking is, the contact area is too small to transfer the "induction" function of the stove. I have the NuWave table too model. My take a way lesson, maximum contact required for best function of induction stove. Glad you enquired about it. Now I need to try it on my cook top. Its my observation induction requires really flat surface cookware to be effective. Lodge has reengineered their pans to be more responsive to induction stoves. If I get a chance I will test them too.

I do not have an induction cooktop. I do however have a Kitchenaide glass top cooktop and they work great on my cooktop. They are nice and smooth and make as well as hold a good connection. Great pots for this great price.

Sorry, don't know the answer to that, but the manufacturer should know the answer. Some where I seem to remember hearing that they had special pots for use on induction cooktops. Do hope you can find out if it works as the Magefesa is the best item I have in my kitchen. It is wonderful!!

Nope, sorry. :( I put in an induction cooktop, not thinking about the pans. Had to stop using my calaphalon and buy some new ones. Now, we're back to gas. I would gladly give up my calaphalon to go back to induction!

Yes and it works great. We have an induction stove top and have not had any issues with this pot. We actually have the whole set of this series in various sizes.

Don't know if it's induction compatible, but I have a ceramic cooktop and it left a glossy ring on the "burner" after one use.

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.

NO . . I thought my nasty 'write-up' was pretty clear that I was NOT happy with Amazon, for not being CLEAR that this item does NOT work with induction. I initiated the search, using 'induction' and this was one of the items that came up . . FAULTY search results . .and whose fault is that? Amazon . . I ended up giving this away to my adult daughter, as it would not work on our new stove top.
