Verifying induction-compatable... I see a review below that says it doesn't work on induction. Does a magnet stick to the bottom? Thank you!

No, a magnet does not stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried a heavy magnet and it does not adhere. Love this pot, it is a nice size and weight. Clean up is not to difficult.

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

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

I have not tried it on an induction stove as I have not used one of those yet, but reading about those stoves I found these as a short form of guide for whether some cooking device will work with it: "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface." (on Wikipedia) and "Your cast-iron skillet is a sure bet, and much of your stainless steel should work fine, too. If you aren't sure if your cookware will work, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of it. If it sticks, you're in business." - I quickly double-checked the pan with a magnet, and it definitely stuck to it. So yes, it should work on induction stoves.

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.

Induction heat needs a pan with iron in it, which can be tested with a magnet. I held a magnet up to the bottom of my Musa and it didn't stick -- so I would guess that it doesn't work. Sorry!

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.

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 :)

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content).http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

No, A magnet will not stick, it is made from Titanium, but do not know about induction safe!

My guess would be that the pan would work. I tested the bottom with a magnet & the magnet stuck pretty good as per a quick test re: inductioncooktops. I have a ceramic cooktop & this pan works great.

Can you stick a magnet to it, then it will work for induction, if not it won't. So, all aluminum, even hard anodized is out. Stainless steel, cast iron, copper.

...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.

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.

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.

My understanding is that if a magnet sticks to a surface, it will work with induction. I just pulled a magnet on the fridge to check for you and it does stick to the pan. I don't know why you would want to use this on a cooktop, but yes, it appears you could.

NO this does not work on an induction cooktop! Hint #1 magnet does not stick to the bottom of pan. Hint#2: when placed on induction surface, the cooktop has trouble detecting an object. It may connect sporadically, but you will be lucky if the water gets warm.
