Does this work with induction cooktops (in other words, does a magnet stick to the bottom)? And what is the diameter of the bottom?

A magnet does not stick to the bottom. I would estimate the base to be six inches? I gave that one away as a gift. I have a littler one at home.

I use a gas stove, so I don't know about whether or not induction cooktops will work. Diameter is a little over 4.25 inches...

The 9090 which I own is designed for use with induction. The diameter of the base is 47/8 inches

Hi - Bottom diameter (outside) is 14.3 cm for the "M" version, which is the largest Alessi makes. We don't have induction, but the bottom is magnetic, I just checked. Not sure why ours would differ in material from what the other responders have. (Overall, highly recommended and the best stove-top coffee maker I ever used).

I have never used an induction cooktop but I understand that it only works with ferromagnetic metals. Carbon steel generally is but it can depend on how much carbon in it. My opinion is the wok should work, a magnet does stick to it but you might want to consult the manual for the cooktop just to be sure.

I don't have an induction cook top. But searching for how to check, multiple websites say to hold a magnet to the bottom and see how strongly it is attracted. I did that and the magnet was attracted just as strongly as against my refrigerator. That bodes well for an induction top. I'd recommend contacting Kitchen Aid directly and check with them.

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

I am not sure. This link I had says if a magnet clings to the bottom, it will work. http://cookingequipment.about.com/od/cookware/f/Induction-Compatible-Cookware.htm. I would, however, check with the emeril site. I love these pans a lot, but know induction cooking works differently. Hope that is of some help.

I can stick a fridge magnet to the bottom of mine. Also, I have used it on an induction burner. Of course, that's the bottom, not the inner. The inner isn't the cooking part that needs to be magnetic for induction. The inner is surgical stainless steel.

Mine works great on my induction stove top. I love it! Just make sure that the burner is not more than 1" larger in diameter or 1" smaller in diameter of the pot. They say that can cause the stove top to crack, although I've never had any problems. I think I've probably got 3/4" of the burner showing surrounding this cooker.

A magnet does not stick to it. I use it on a gas burner. I am not sure if it would work on an induction stope top.

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.

A magnet sticks to it. I haven't tried it on my induction top yet. If a magnet sticks, it should work.

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....?

I'm traveling and can't check, but I believe a magnet would stick, I also believe it would work with an induction burner. I think that is the type my mother in law has and I've used it there many times.

Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.

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.

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.

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon.Image

Yes, magnets will stick to the bottom of these pans. They're not remarkably firm sticking, but they hold their own weight. I have not tried it on an induction cooktop, but it should theoretically work. ;)
