Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

Yes, I have an induction stove and it works great. However, I put the teakettle on empty on high, and the glass-based enamel fused to the stovetop. Removing the teakettle removed a couple of big chunks of the stovetop, permanently damaging it. DON'T USE ANY ENAMEL WARE ON ANY GLASS OR CERAMIC TOPPED STOVE!

I personally have not used it on induction stove tops. It seems that it gets mixed results with induction applications. I would suggest returning it to amazon for a refund as that is more practical than changing your stovetop.

It works ok on induction but if you want fastest/best results turn on the power boost. Then you get the water boiling super fast!

This item is made mostly of aluminum, including all of the exterior. Therefore, it will not work on an induction cooktop even though it has a thin stainless steel interior. Also, the bottom is actually raised above the burner surface, and thus this item will also not work with a convention smooth cooktop. It's really best suited to a gas cooktop.

I have a gas stove -- but I don't see any problem with using it on an induction stove top.

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

I use mine on both a gas and a glass topped electric. Perhaps that is an induction top, I don't know. It works well on both of my surfaces.

All I can tell you is that we use gas range and with the copper core my wife loves it. She said it heats the water extremely faster than her old kettle. Sorry I can not give you a better answer but I'm not very familure with the induction top.

I use it very successfully on my glass top stove...not sure what induction is.

The little "holes" you can see in the picture confirm that this model is, as Simplex says, "suitable for gas appliances only"". The company also sells a flat-bottom version (same name) "Simplex Heritage ...Tea Kettle, Copper" is advertised as "suitable for both gas and electric ranges".

Yep! Works great on my glass-top stove. Don't know about induction ranges, though--mine is a standard electric. I also used it on my old coil-type electric stove with no problem. In fact, I think there's a gas stove version that has a different bottom...but don't hold me to that! I love this tea kettle--it's easy to clean, heats up fast, and has a great classic look.

Yes, it works on induction. Wonderful, big teapot for boiling and decanting large amounts of water - perfect solution for large tea parties!

Yes the pamphlet that came with it states, "Use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always lift cookware to move." Hope that helps.

I have a gas stove but it is a standard stainless steel pot. if you can use other SS cookwear with induction, you should be OK. I hope so bucause it's a nice little item!
