from the reviews I have read, construction of this pan seems to change. Has anyone recently purchased this pan and used it on an induction cooktop?

I haven't used it on induction cooktop. But pan is right balance of heavy weight without being clumsy and easy to clean. Cooks evenly on regular electric burner. Hope that helps.

Yes. I purchased it for my mother. She loves it. I have used it a couple of times and I liked the way it cooked. The food was nicely done and I didn't see and uneven heating. Clean up was easy too. I would recommend this pan for induction cooking or just regular cooking.

I'm not sure what an induction cooktop is, so I don't really know. I have a ceramic top and it works well.

It is awesome for induction cooking. The heat is spread out evenly. When I first got it I put in 1/4" of water and cranked up the heat. All but the most extreme corners went to a hard boil and the far fringes were boiling lightly. I've used this thing for over a year and have been extremely satisfied. It cleans up very easily and really makes cooking bacon, eggs, etc...simple.

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 the same kind of cooktop and I have not had a problem with it. I love my pan I was looking for something a little taller than other pans this size and this one is perfect.

Sorry, I have never cooked on a induction stove top. But I do think it will be similar to the others. I needed pot holders only if I was cooking for a long time on high heat. I was actually surprised how cool the handles stayed during cooking.

Will not work with induction cooktop, is not made with materials required to induction cooking, great pan to have for other cook tops, I would suggest youlook for induction cookware by typing induction cookware on Google,

I don't have an induction cooktop but the griddle has a very flat and level bottom so I am making the assumption that it would work well on the induction cooktop. There isn't the usual little (I call it bubble) in the middle of the bottom like you see on a lot of griddles. I can tell you that we use it almost every morning and love it. It heats quickly and nothing sticks, we just make sure that we let it cool completely before washing. I don't put it in the dishwasher even tho it says you can, I just don't like my cookware washed in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes, my same pan (in the 12" size) warped slightly. I cranked the heat pretty abruptly, though (by mistake). Lodge says that these pans work on any cooktop, including induction stoves (on their website). You just have to be careful to heat the pan somewhat gradually. I haven't had the chance to test this myself, though, to see if the pan stays flat with gradually warming it because I haven't purchased another one yet. Personally, I was a little disappointed because I really liked the pan until it warped (only slightly). I find myself using that pan a lot less because I don't feel like taking my time with warming my pan. I want to be able to get a hot pan asap and start cooking.

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.

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.

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

No, I recall there being many reviews for this item and avidly reading them all at the time. (I purchased this item years ago and it is still ''like new".) Now, I seem to have a vague memory of the Instructions actually stating ''not intended for ceramic cooktop". I do not know if an induction cooktop is the same as a an induction cooktop. Really, it would be worth it to ask amazon, go to the "Help" section and select for them to call you, or you can e-mail them, or chat with amazon. I have, many times, relied on amazon.com to find out information of all sorts for me, Robert L., so don't believe all our opinions. We might all be wrong, or there might be another product perfect for you. cvsk12 No, I recall there being many reviews for this item and avidly reading them all at the time.

I would not recommend use on an induction cooktop. This pot has permanently marred my cooktop. A call to farberware resulted only in lip service.

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.

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!
