Would someone please see if a magnet sticks to this pot, to tell if it can be used on an induction cooktop?

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!

A magnet sticks any where it is placed on the "red" part of the kettle. Hope this helps.

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.

I believe it has to be magnetic to use on induction stovetops and I don't think that applies to this particular pot. I love mine but I don't have an induction stovetop.

have not used on an induction cooktop but a magnet will attach to the bottom of the pot.

If I understand how induction stoves work, then no. The pot is not magnetic (some stainless steels are not), and your stove would not be able to induce heat in said pot. Sorry for the delay

Yes, it can be used on an induction cooktop. I just checked and a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot, which means it works with induction cooking.

i had to research what an induction cooktop is. this pot is stainless steel so it should ok to use.

I bought it as a gift. However if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work on the induction cook top.

I just checked and magnets do NOT stick to this pot. Unfortunately I don't have an induction stove to check if it works. But, as others have noted, it is designed to pour water into it anyway.EDIT: Some of the comments made me look it up. Stainless steel can be magnetic or non-magnetic; it depends on the exact composition of the steel.

I don't have an induction stove top, but the magnet won't stick to this so am assuming that it won't work.

After reading your question, I placed a magnet to the bottom of the pot and it did stick. So I would say yes, it would work with an induction stove top.

Take a magnet and put it too the bottom of the pan. If the magnet holds than it will work with induction cooktops.

Can someone please try to hold a magnet to the set and see if it sticks? If they dont stick, it will not work on an induction cooktop.

No, you cannot use this pan on an induction stove because it is made of anodized aluminum. You have to have a cast iron or a stainless steel pan that a magnet will stick to. I have an induction burner and I can only use a few of my pans on it. Be aware that not all stainless steel will work - test with a magnet! If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, you can use it.

I do not believe so. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges.I put a magnet to the bottoms of my Ecosolution pans and none will stick. Only a very expensive European pot I have would stick to the magnet.

To tell if a pot or pan is induction-compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop.

No, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on an induction stove. This pan is all aluminum (no clad on the bottom) therefore will not work.
