Can I use this in an induction range? (Is the pan able to hold a magnet?)

Yes, and the enamel doesn't scratch the glass surface. This is a treat to use and an excellent pan.

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

Yes, a magnet does stick to the bottom of this pan. I tried it and it's clearly ferromagnetic so induction should work fine. (I don't have one of those to test, however.) Hope this helps.

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.

I called Cuisinart, they told me it was induction compatible. Unfortunately it definitely is not. Very nice pan in any case. If a magnet will stick to the bottom of a pan, it will identify induction ready cookware.

I looked up induction burner on Wikipedia and it says any ferromagnetic metal will work. I tested my pans with one of my wife's refridgerator magnets and it stuck very well. I guess that means it should work.

Unfortunately, no it can't. Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic metal and this pot does not meet that requirement.

Induction creates heat using magnetism, in order for a pan to work it needs to have a magnetic base

You can use stainless steel that is magnetized (if magnet sticks to the bottom of pan, it is magnetized). Also an induction interface disk it's not as fast but it helps with aluminum and other pans with out magnet properties.

Don't think it will actually. Stainless is not magnetic enough for induction

Joanne, according to my understanding of induction cooking and the requirements of induction cookware, this cookware should be ideal. What I read said that a magnet should stick to the bottom of the pan in order for the electromagnetic field to be activated. I checked and a magnet sticks very well to the bottom surface (cooking surface) but not to the surface that is in contact with the food. That part is stainless. I hope this helps!

Don't know if the pan itself is magnetic, but I just used a magnet on the bottom of mine to test it and the magnet sticks to it. Hope that answers your question.

As for my pan ,the base is not magnetic. From my research, this means it will not work as an induction pan.

I looked up how to tell if it is, if a magnet sticks to it it is an induction pan, I got out my trusty magnet and voila, it stuck, so the answer is yes! I hope this helped:)

No, you cannot cook in this pan on an induction burner. It is not magnetic, and will therefore not work. The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless steel , Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless steel cookware manufactured after 2010, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron and Enamel Cast Iron cookware are all induction capable. Induction cook tops contain high-frequency electromagnets. In order to generate heat, the cookware used with induction cook tops must also contain magnetic elements. Generally, if a magnet adheres to cookware, the cookware is induction capable. A magnet will not adhere to this pan, but just to be sure, I pulled out our portable induction unit and tried it again before I answered your question. It's wonderful cookware - I have a whole set of it - but it was a deal-breaker in our remodel last year when I discovered it was not compatible to the induction kitchen we were planning. We went back with gas. . .

It is my understanding that induction cooking requires special pots and pans. This pan was not made for induction cooking and a magnet does NOT stick to the bottom.

yes, it works fine on an induction range. i have used mine 3 times now, love to make eggs benedict at home, where i can afford it. be sure to use some oil or butter in the egg cups. non stick isnt really non stick.
