If you put a magnet on the bottom does it stick? i want to use this for my new induction cook top.

No, a magnet will not stick. And this is quite a small pot... only shy of 4 cups max.

Negative. A magnet will not stick to the bottom, so I'm assuming its aluminum.

No it does not. I got an error message on my induction burner. The magnet doesn't stick on the pot bottom either.

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

A magnet does stick to the bottom, however, the first time I used the large pot one of the handles must have got too hot because it broke. Very disappointing and very annoying to use it without a handle

Yes, when I tried it a magnet did stick to the bottom pan. Hope that helps!

Well, they say that if a magnet will stick to it, then it is okay for an induction stovetop. I tried it and it doesn't stick, so I would assume that it isn't. Too bad, because I LOVE this pot. I am glad I just have a regular stovetop...I would hate to cook without it.

a magnet did attract to the bottom. That doesn't work with my original 70's pots. I haven't used it on my induction cooktop, assuming this was like the older stuff...go figure.

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 do not believe so. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges. I put a magnet to the bottoms of my Ecosolution pans and none will stick. Only a very expensive European pot I have would stick to the magnet.

I don't think so. I just held a big magnet to the bottom of the pot and it didn't "stick".

Does not work with induction cooktop. I just opened mine, and it does not attract a magnet at all. Apparently the "steel" in "Stainless Steel" is not iron-with-nickel (which makes no sense to me). The bottom has an aluminum core. Whatever the metallurgy, it is not magnetic and not suitable for induction heating.

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.

Good question I tested mine and a kitchen magnet did stick. Hope this helps

I don't know if the bottom is magnetic or not. My induction cooktop is not fancy, just your run of the mill white one that is impossible to keep clean! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

A magnet does not stick to the bottom of any of these pieces so I will have to say they may not work with induction unfortunately. My daughter was looking to get me an Induction hot plate but she tested with a magnet. So sad.

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.

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.
