will a magnet stick to the bottom? Will someone who has this pot please check for me. I want to see if it will work on my induction cooktop. Thank you.

I have an induction stove and it definitely works well. It is not magnetic. There is a slight pull of the magnet to any part of the pot, but the magnet will fall away and does not stick to any part of the pot. Not sure what the scientific reason is. The pot may have enough steel to work on an induction stove, but not enough steel to cause a magnet to stick?

I had a magnet here and tried it because a lot of people seem to ask. It did not stick to bottom or sides of pot. This is a pretty good magnet so if a magnet is decider then I say no. Too bad love the pot.

I just received my Faberware Classic today, a magnet does not stick to it. I have a Nuwave induction cooktop and tried to boil some water, it worked perfectly. So, in my opinion it works just fine...as far as the magnet theory, well.....

r.k. says: I received my induction burner today. Even though a magnet was not attracted to my Yosemite coffee pot it worked on the induction burner. Evidently there is some stainless that is not magnetic that will still work with induction.

r.k. says: I just received Yosemite model coffee pot and it is not magnetic! Now I'll have to return it.

A small magnet sticks so most likely the answer is yes --- I do not use an induction cooktop. Hope this helps...very nice non commercial pot.

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

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.

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

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

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

NO. It does not work with an induction stove, nor does a magnet stick to the bottom.

Magnets do not stick to the bottom of this pan (I just tried it ). I use this pan on a smooth top electric stove, no problem there. This is a nice pan.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

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.

I stuck a couple of different sized magnets on the bottom & no magnet adhered to the underside.I have a homely electric coil cooktop.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

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

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom & sides of the pan. These can be used on an induction cooktop. You would not believe how fast water boils & food cooks on induction.

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.
