Has anyone tried this griddle on an Induction Cooktop? I'm trying to find if a magnet adheres to the bottom of it. Can anyone tell me?

I have not tried this on an induction cooktop. The skillet is made of aluninum so the magnet should not stick to it.

I just ran a magnet over the bottom of the griddle and it DID NOT adhere to any section of it. I believe the griddle is aluminum and non magnetic.

I cannot answer whether a magnet adheres to the bottom. My guess is yes. I threw this pan in the garbage. This is one of the worst pans I have ever bought.... even though it is by Emerill. I finally bought an Analon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Covered Ultimate pan. So far, it has been wonderful. I think this pan will last a really long time.

My understanding is that if a magnet sticks to a surface, it will work with induction. I just pulled a magnet on the fridge to check for you and it does stick to the pan. I don't know why you would want to use this on a cooktop, but yes, it appears you could.

I don't think so. I believe a magnet must stick to the bottom in order to work on an induction cooktop. A magnet does not stick to my Paula Deen cookware. However it is very nice cookware for conventional stoves.

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

No - I have one of these pans, not purchased through Amazon but at Bed, Bath & Beyond... same brand though. I really like mine, but a magnet will not cling to the bottom of the pan so no, they wouldn't work on an induction cooktop.

NO this does not work on an induction cooktop! Hint #1 magnet does not stick to the bottom of pan. Hint#2: when placed on induction surface, the cooktop has trouble detecting an object. It may connect sporadically, but you will be lucky if the water gets warm.

Yes this kettle works on an induction cooktop. We bought it precisely for this reason and it works beautifully! It isn't that the bottom needs to be magnetic, but rather that the kettle bottom will respond to the magnetic field generated by the induction cooktop (this distinction is probably lost on most people). So if a magnet sticks to the bottom, or it says that it works with induction, it will work for your cooktop. Enjoy!

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

I looked at the bottom of my 1.5 QT sauce pan; it says "induction ready". I tested it with a magnet and the magnet stuck. So, even though I do not personally use an induction cooktop, I'm pretty confident the answer is yes.

Hi Sandra:Actually, I haven't tried this poaching pan on an induction cooktop, as I don't have induction cooktop. I hope others can help you out. Cheers!

I own one and use it on direct heat over gas burners. Due to its size, it warps leaving me with one side lifted from the flame while the other side is spot on. Although it 'will do' for me as i can turn the flame up higher on the warped side, i do not believe that it will be as cooperative on a flat induction cooktop. I am currently looking for a cast iron griddle which i believe will maintain its shape a lot better.

You might get a more accurate answer if you asked about an "induction cooktop" (assuming you just misspelled it) or, for those unfamiliar with induction technology, you could just ask if a magnet would stick to it.

To work with an induction cooktop, the pan needs to have an iron, steel, or magnetic stainless bottom. This griddle is described as all aluminum, which will not magnetize and therefore will not heat up on an induction cooktop.

Yes, I believe it's safe to use this griddle on an induction cooktop. This griddle has no abrasive surfaces that would cause any scratches. Since an induction cooktop quickly heats, just be extremely careful not to overheat it - which may cause it to warp. http://www.tefal.com.au/All+Products/Cookware/Jamie+Oliver/Products/Jamie+Oliver+Tefal+Hard+Anodised+Induction/Jamie+Oliver+Tefal+Professional+Series.htm

Simple, just get a small magnet and see if it is adheres to the bottom of the pan. If it hears to the pan, it is good on the induction.

Magnet sticks to bottom of pans! You are in business on the induction stove top. Good luck!

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried it and it's clearly ferromagnetic so induction should work fine. (I don't have one of those to test, however.) Hope this helps.
