Why do some people say this does not work on induction cooktops?

To work with an induction cooktop a pan must contain iron which responds to a magnetic field. If a pan is made of aluminum, copper or non-magnetic metal, it isn't compatible with an induction cooktop. Check to see what the pan in question is made of.

This particular pan does work on an induction cook top. It must be made of a magnetic metal (a magnet will cling to it) for a pan to work on an induction cook top.

I am not sure about "induction cooktop" but I use it on an electric range and it is superb!

It absolutely works on an induction cooktop. I've used it twice that way. Don't pay attention to users that have not actually used it on an induction cooktop.

i don't have an induction cooktop, so i really don't know. You might like to call the company.

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 don't know what an induction cooktop is. I have an electric glass top range. We have three of the pans and love them.

Yes, it works perfectly on an induction cooktop, as well as gas and electric.

I actually had this same question. I contacted the company directly and was told that since the cookware is painted it would not work on induction cook tops. They do have other products that would work.

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.

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.

Yes, it would definitely work on an induction stove top. It's metallic, it's magnetic. That's what makes induction work.

Hello Vickie, Thank you for your inquiry. No that will not work on an induction stovetop. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

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.

As G. Taylor says, try using a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks then it SHOULD work on an induction stove (my mom had one when I was a kid and it only worked on pans that a magnet could stick to). I am pretty sure that this will not work because it is aluminum (and magnets do not stick to aluminum) so the pan can not generate heat.

NO, I just called Orgreenic, Telebrands, because I have an induction cooktop and they said it is not for use with induction cooking.

NO NO NO NO, this product is NOT INDUCTION COOKWARE! and if you return it, after you discover it does NOT work IN YOUR INDUCTION KITCHEN, they will take 30% off the price you paid for your refund. Not knowing, or listening to the other users who say "sure it works", when clearly they do not have induction work tops (they NEVER say they have the cook tops and have tried it themselves!) is no excuse for returning it for a full refund. I purchased from this site, and this product, found it did not work on any of my induction "burners", and received a whopping $22 refund back. It is a beautiful pan though!

I have no idea what an induction cooktop is, I have a gas range, I have always had a gas range. The set works fine on my range.
