Is this cookware magnetic for use on induction cooktops?

I can't answer your question, but can tell you that we returned the set due to rust appearing after its first use. We went with a WMF set instead ( pricy but excellent quality)

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

Aluminum, copper or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties. As this product is aluminum, I do not think it will work with induction cook tops / stoves.

I don't believe you can as Induction cooking requires pots with a layer of magnetic properties. I believe it has to be stainless steel or cast iron. There must not be any aluminum in them. Watch that your stainless steel pots and pans do not have aluminum in them.

Induction cooktops require cookware that is magnetic - - iron, steel, etc .or clad in magnetic material. Generally speaking, aluminum, copper, glass or pyrex, non-magnetic stainless steel etc will NOT work. you can Goggle "Induction cooking" for more details.

As long as a pan is magnetic, it will work with induction cooking. No aluminum or glass cookware will work with induction.

Yes, it is magnetic, we have an induction cooktop and it works wonderfully with this type of surface. Enjoy!

Just found this: "Magnetized bases are compatible with all cooking surfaces - including induction"Here: http://cookware.lecreuset.com/cookware/product_Tri-Ply-Stainless-Steel-8-Piece-Set_10151_-1_20002_10272_

The bottom of these pans are made from aluminum. This material is not ferromagnetic so its is unlikely to work on an induction cook top.

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.

No, but the cookware has to be compatible for induction cooking. If a magnet will stick to it, it should work. Lots of inexpensive pots and pans on the shelf in customary retail stores that will work.

Yes stainless. Manufacturers now mark the bottom of the cookware with an icon to indicate that it is induction ready. Any pot or pan that will hold a magnet on the bottom is suitable. Some stainles steel is ferrous (magnetic) and some is not.

Hi Lynda, unfortunately this Woll pan is not magnetic and can't be used for induction ovens. I read online some stainless steel pans or cast iron pots can be used, as long as the bottom is magnetic. Klaus

This cookware is more suitable for solid plate, ceramic, gas, radiant ring and halogen stove tops. It is a metal pan so it will work when needing to form the magnetic field to create heat with an induction stove, but it does have inward indentions along the bottom that may not allow you to evenly heat your pan as you may desire.

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's not magnetic. I don't have an induction oven so I can't speak to that. Other than the copper venear wearing off on the outside of the pans, I still love them

Induction cooktops can only be used with cookware that is made of ferrous metals like steel or cast iron. Aluminum cookware won't work, nor will glass or ceramic. Here's a simple test to see if your cookware is induction-compatible: If a magnet sticks to it, it'll work with an induction stove. Google it.
