Will this work on an induction burner? Will a magnet stick to the bottom of the pot?

I'm traveling and can't check, but I believe a magnet would stick, I also believe it would work with an induction burner. I think that is the type my mother in law has and I've used it there many times.

Yes it will on an induction burner. The bottom is completely flat and I was able to stick a magnet to it.This is very difficult to clean! It is very narrow. Also I think this is more like 12 ounces, it certainly is not 12 cups.

Dont know. I gave them away as gift. All i can say is that i saw a big lump inside from the welding and it was not stainless steel.

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.

yes a magnet does stick to the bottom and that makes it good for induction stove

Put a magnet or magnetic stick up on the pot bottom. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it will work. If it does not stick, it will not work. A thick bottom that conducts heat evenly is best for even cooking.

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)

No, this is not for an induction cooktop or burner. The construction is nearly 100% aluminum, which is not magnetic.

Brian, since this is a single wall stainless steel with no magnetic bottom, it will not perform well on an induction stove. Recommend you find a pot with dual bottom construction.

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

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 wasn't entirely sure how to know at first. But, when I googled how to find out...I was told to try sticking a magnet to bottom of pot. If it stuck then it would be considered compatible with inductive cooking. The magnet did stick! I hope this helps.

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...

Yes this works perfectly with an induction burner. This is the main reason I purchased this pot - I have 2.

A magnet does not stick to it. I use it on a gas burner. I am not sure if it would work on an induction stope top.

I have not tried this on an induction cooktop. The skillet is made of aluninum so the magnet should not stick to it.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

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.

Check the bottom of the pan, there should be an imprint that says "induction suitable". You can also check the bottom of the pan with a magnet .... if the magnet is attracted to the pan it can work with induction burners.The product purchased from Amazon does work with induction burners.
