Can this fondue pot be used on an induction cooktop? A magnet would have to be attracted if so.

Our daughter cracked her ceramic insert by putting it directly on the electric cooktop. Be careful. It works beautifully as a "double boiler" when you put water in the stainless bottom pot, and melt cheese, chocolate, etc. in the ceramic insert. We LOVE this fondue pot!

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, 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.

Please only answer this question if you have an INDUCTION cooktop. We have an INDUCTION cooktop and IT DOES NOT WORK. A magnet will not stick to the pan. Although the Cuisinart website seems to say that this line is induction friendly, IT IS NOT. DO NOT BELIEVE THE YES ANSWERS HERE!

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.

Just checked the Cuisinart site. This pot will not work on an induction cooktop.

Hi Lynda, unfortunately this Woll pan is not magnetic and can't be used for induction ovens. I read online some stainless steel pans or cast iron pots can be used, as long as the bottom is magnetic. Klaus

...ehh...I would say no. Induction works by using magnetic fields. Use a magnet on the bottom of your cookware to test if it's 'induction-ready'. If it sticks, you're good to go. Concerning this kettle, the answer is no. It has an amazing weak magnetic attraction.

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

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 can't. I read "stainless steel" in the description and mistakenly assumed both pots were stainless and bought it. If I had seen it in a store I would have read the, "Suitable for all heat sources except induction" on the packaging. Just in case, I put a magnet to the base of the bottom pot and then confirmed it would not stick.

IF there isnt ANY steel on the bottom it will NOT work with the induction cooktop! We have a few induction burners and a magnet MUST stick/hold well to the bottom of the pot for it to work. IF this is a true stainless as the title says, it WILL NOT work on an induction burner.

I have an induction cooktop, and it works. As one of the previous reviewer stated, if a magnet will stick to it, it's induction compatible. I have noticed that it takes longer to heat than my cast iron does on the same setting.

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.

I checked the pan for you and NO it can NOT be used on an induction stove, you need to find a pan with a magnetic grade of stainless steel, if a magnet sticks to the outside of the pan on the area tha touches the stove then you can use it. AGAIN:: THIS PAN WILL NOT WORK ON INDUCTION STOVE TOPS.

The bottom is not magnetic. I am not sure about induction stove top, seems to me must be OK. I did not try. Best wishes :)

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