Do you know if this product works on an induction hob? The test is whether the base is magnetic...

I don't have an induction hob so I could't test but I tried a magnet. It seems to be magnetic on the sides but not on the base. Although it grabs a little on the base, the pull is very weak. It may be layered.

I just held up a heavy magnet to the base and sides and it did not adhere to either. There was a slight attraction on the sides, but not enough to hold the magnet.

The bottom is a hunk of metal. I have gas and it works great on those burners. I can think of no reason it wouldn't work on an induction coil.

Good question. I just tried a magnet on the bottom of the pan and it did stick. I don't know if the weight of the pan would damage the range top but yes it will stick so it will work on an induction range.

It will not work with induction because it is not magnetic iron; copper plated brass, I believe. Sorry!

The best stainless steel is NOT magnetic, and it will work perfectly on an induction range. The magnet test is not the final answer, although if it is magnetic is should work as well.

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.

No!!! It has to have a magnetic bottom for the unit to work. any cast iron pot or pan works. Any pot or pan that is said to be induction ready will work. I have bought 2 0r 3 pans at Walmart but you need to take a magnet with you to test the pan. Even an aluminum or stainless pot or pan that a magnet will stick to works because their is an iron layer sandwiched between the other metals. I have been very very happy with my pic cooktop I got from Amazon and bought it for half the cost of getting it off TV ads because they kill you on the shipping and handling... Hope this helps...

It is not induction compatible. Magnet does not stick. The version with the aluminum insert, and a disk base, is induction compatible.

Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.

Yes it is. You can tell by holding a magnet on the bottom. If it sticks it is induction compatible

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.

This pan is made of mild steel and is therefore magnetic. However, it has a rounded bottom, and I don't know how well that would work with an induction unit. Perhaps someone else has tried it?

No, it is not magnetic, but this is ,in my opinion, irrelevant in the case of an " Induction " stove top. Indeed, in this case the Stove Tamer will get quite hot, but the contents of the pan sitting on the Stove Tamer will not cook. I will definitely avoid using such a tool with an Induction type stove top. However, I highly recommend its use with a GAS or ELECTRIC stove top, in particular, but not exclusively, for simmering.

No! I just ordered this for my induction because of the answer here..... It is not magnetic. Do not order if you have an induction cooktop!!

It should. I believe all induction cooktops function magnetically. I have a Duxtop cooktop and this cookware reforms well with it.

Hi - I don't have an induction cooktop, so I can't be certain. However, I did read once that if a magnet sticks to your pan, that it will work on an induction cooktop. So, I just tried it and a magnet did stick to the one I have. As I said in my review, I can't honestly recommend this item, but maybe it will work better for you. I hope that helps!

a magnet did attract to the bottom. That doesn't work with my original 70's pots. I haven't used it on my induction cooktop, assuming this was like the older stuff...go figure.
