Will this pan work on an induction cooktop? In other words, will a magnet stick to the bottom?

It works on my induction (electrolux) but is much slower to heat up than my other induction ready pans.

The bottom of the T-fal pan will stick to a magnet. So I assume that it will work with an induction cook top. Doug Mandt

You have your answer to the initial question. I would add that it is about the best frying pan I have ever used. If used properly, nothing sticks!

NO!Scroll down to about the middle of the description. You will see these words " The base is suitable for all cook-tops except the induction" I have bought pans that had a magnetic base and they didn't work on my induction cooktop

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.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is... » Read More since you need special encapsulated bottom cookware which can be used on an induction stove top, a magnet must stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pan and only then will it really work on induction stoves and table top models. no one has yet really answered if a magnet sticks to the bottom of this pan, and since i bought only stainless steel cookware which magnets do stick on can i safely say my cookware is really induction usable.can someone who has this please place a magnet on the bottom and reply if the magnet stuck to the bottom of the pan so we really know if it is induction ready to be used on induction surfaces, and thanks in advance. « Show Less

This pan will not work effectively on a induction type stove due to it is a aluminum base. Induction stoves work with pans that a magnet will stick to. Here is a link for you...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Cookware

Mr. Behr, a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom of this pan. One of the main reasons I love this pan is for its even heat distribution, which is superior to any other I have used, such as Analon brand skillet. I can fill it from edge to edge and cooking is near perfect throughout. I only use medium heat setting, or lower. I hope this was helpful. Thank you.

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

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.

No. This pan is anodized aluminum with a non-stick coating. Non-magnetic and therefore it is not for use on an induction cooktop.

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...

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

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

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

Thank you for your question - unfortunately this set will not function on an induction cooktop as the stainless steel is non-magnetic.

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.

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot. It works great my induction burner.

Wikipedia says that stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. I tested this pot with a refrigerator magnet and it did not stick. Based on that, I think that this pot is not usable on an induction cooktop. None of the literature that came with the pot made mention of an induction cooktop.
