Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

It is stainless steel construction. It will only work if a magnet will stick well to the bottom of the pan which indicates a substantial amount of iron content. I just checked and the magnet sticks real well so the answer is yes it will work on an induction cook top stove. I do not have an induction cook stove but I looked up the answer on Google and I gave the Bayou Pot the magnet test and it passed.

I have not tried it on an induction cooktop. I use a cast iron tea candle holder with this teapot, and it will keep the tea warm for several hours. I think the instructions on the box said not to use on a stove to boil water in the pot, but if you have already brewed the tea, you might be able to keep it warm on the very lowest setting on an induction cooktop.

I personally have not used it on induction stove tops. It seems that it gets mixed results with induction applications. I would suggest returning it to amazon for a refund as that is more practical than changing your stovetop.

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

the product works great. I have a gas range, so I dont know how the induction cooktop works.

I do not have an induction cook top. This was a gift for our son in law. He has a gas stove top and absolutely Loves the pot.

Yes, I bought this for my mother and she has an induction. It works well. Pending someone else saying the pain chips, I have this kettle as does my mother and our paint has remained intact with no chips.

NO, it does not work well on induction tops. I have an induction top and it does not work well. We can only get it to work on one of the burners. Magnets stick very weakly to the kettle which would explain why it doesn't work well. On the one burner that will register it, the kettle works fine as long as it is in the right spot on the burner. I don't have that problem with any other pots or cooking equip we have. It's a great teapot, but I would try something else for an induction top.

I use it on induction stove, I don't see why it should not work on gas. It may get a bit tarnished at the base, but is a great coffee maker.

Let me start by saying I am not 100% positive but I would say no. The bottom of the kettle has a ridge so it's not perfectly flat and therefore would not sit on the induction burner like a regular pot would. I would recommend emailing manufacturer directly for positive confirmation. I hope this helps.

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 use mine on both a gas and a glass topped electric. Perhaps that is an induction top, I don't know. It works well on both of my surfaces.

I do not know about induction stoves but it works like any other pot that boils water. You put a little water in the bottom, bring it to a boil and whatever you are cooking is done.

I have not tried it on induction cook top. Sorry to say. So far have used it on glass top stove only. Perhaps the mfg might be able to give you an answer. Enjoy your Spring and Summer.

I have a gas stove but it is a standard stainless steel pot. if you can use other SS cookwear with induction, you should be OK. I hope so bucause it's a nice little item!

Yes the pamphlet that came with it states, "Use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always lift cookware to move." Hope that helps.
