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.

No our set doesn't work on our induction cooktop, also I don't know about the Teflon coating if they improved it or not our set is 2 yrs. old and we're already throwing pans away because of Teflon coming off.

I have a GE induction cooktop. It works fine, since it is carbon steel. Induction works by causing the ferrous molecules in a utensil to vibrate, creating heat. The quick and easy test for whether a pot or pan will work with induction is to put a magnet on it. If it sticks, there is enough ferrous metal in the pan, such as with ceramic clad utensils. I use carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans on my induction top.

I do not have an induction cooktop stove. My stove has raised burners and the pots have been performing well, except the saucepan. The saucepan developed a uniform ring around the inside of the pot, approximately 1 inch from the bottom. The pot was only used about 10 times before I noticed the ring. The manufacturer of the pots said that they would replace it but only if I paid the postage to mail it to California. I declined.

I googled this question and this was the best answer from someone. I checked with All Clad and the vendor from whom it was purchased. I was promised that this pan would work with my new cooktop. It does NOT!!! I threw away the box and cannot return it which is very disappointing. It is advertised online as being suitable for all cooktops, including Inductions. Do not believe it!

I don't know what "induction cooktop" means. I can tell you I have used it on top of my gas grill and it works wonderfully. I have not used it on top of the stove because mine is too big to accommodated on ne burner. Just observe the do not let it air after you wash it. After drying it well, apply a thin layer of oil before you put away.

I remember reading that, but I don't know if it's true. I bought it anyway. I think it's fantastic. Vollrath is an excellent brand going way back to the late 60s when in my late teens I bought a set of Vollrath pots and pans. Still have them, and I can't imagine I will ever replace them because they're made so well. They are perfect for using with the Vollrath induction burner. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better answer. Perhaps if you go directly to Vollrath you can get a better answer.

Hey Jill, I have done some research, and according to my studies, the Mc2 line is not induction compatible. Don't hold me to this, but that is what my research has yielded. I know their "Stainless" and "Copper Core" lines are compatible with induction cooking. My suggestion is to contact All-Clad just to make sure, as I am not an expert. I have read for gas or electric cooking the Mc2 line performs a little better getting up to temperature, but I'm sure they all are fine! I do know this, we love our All-Clad Mc2 cookware!

My stovetop is an induction style and it works great. I've used these pans now for over a year and I really like them. The induction stovetop burners heat this pan evenly - so the food cooks well. I can't tell if this is the larger pan, but one of mine is larger than the burner, and when I center it - the food cooks just fine.

I don't have an induction stove top, but I seem to remember that the test for whether a pot will work on an induction stove top is whether a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot. If this is a true test, then yes, a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot, therefore it should work on an induction stove top.

I don't have an induction cooktop but I looked it up for you. Yes, you can use this pot with an induction stovetop. The pot material is actually anodized steel.

No, this will not work on an induction cooktop. It even says so on the label. I ordered it because others said that it would, but it absolutely will not. I am sending it back.

Nope, sorry. :( I put in an induction cooktop, not thinking about the pans. Had to stop using my calaphalon and buy some new ones. Now, we're back to gas. I would gladly give up my calaphalon to go back to induction!

Sandee, I think you're asking if this griddle is compatible with an induction cooktop. The answer is no. The griddle is solid (anodized) aluminum with a hard non-stick coating applied to the cooking surface. Thus this griddle is non-magnetic and it will not work with an induction heating element. My guess is that most of these non-stick griddles will either be aluminum or clad aluminum, as for example, the All-Clad product line. So if you have an induction cooktop you may need to go old school and look for an iron griddle which likely will be absent any high tech non-stick coating. Although, as you may well know, iron if cured properly builds something of a natural non-stick surface. Cheers!

I do not have an induction cooktop. I do however have a Kitchenaide glass top cooktop and they work great on my cooktop. They are nice and smooth and make as well as hold a good connection. Great pots for this great price.

I don't think so. These pots have an aluminum encapsulated base which should not be used with induction cooktops. You need cast iron, enamel or stainless steel cookware. And even if it were compatible, I would not recommend them at all. The price looked good to me, but now that I'm having to replace them a year later, I wish I'd spent the extra $50 for something better.

Sorry, but I really don't have any knowledge of induction cooktops. The outside surface of the pan is stainless steel. Hope that helps...
