Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

I have no idea about how it would work on an induction stove top. We have heating coils.

I am sorry, but I will not be able to answer your question since I do not have an induction cooktop. I have natural gas in my kitchen. I remember reading somewhere that induction stoves must use iron pots, or have a magnetic disk at the bottom. Perhaps you could call Cuisinart and they would tell you for sure.

I have not used cast iron on the two burner cooktop I have, but it should hold up as long as you don't use a huge, heavy one. And as long as a magnet will stick to the pan used, it will work on induction cooktops. I have used large stainless steel soup kettles, full of soup, with no problem.

My range has a glass cook top however, it is my understanding is that an induction cook top is not the same as a glass cook top. So I did the 'magnet' test and found that a magnet does NOT cling to the base of the kettle. I hope that helps.

I use it very successfully on my glass top stove...not sure what induction is.

I have a smooth top stove. It works great on that. I assume it would work on an induction one.

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.

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

I have a glass top stove and the pot works well. As the bottom of the pot is metal, I would believe it would work on an induction top also.

Nope. Induction stoves require a resistive coil in the base to transfer energy from the stove top to the pot or pan. This is a simple stainless steel kettle and is unlikely to heat up much on an induction stovetop.

I don't see why these pots wouldn't work on induction cook top. My guess, YES it will work but check the manufacturer for a second opinion. I prefer and use gas stove because it cooks faster and these pots works very well in even cooking. It may take getting used to cooking with these because it takes heat well so you may have to figure out how to adjust your cooking so it won't cook or burn too fast or food stick to pan. But the product is wonderful to me so far after a year of use!

There is a version for gas and electric stoves. The gas version which is pictured has the heat exchanger as an integral part of the product, so it is only appropriate for a gas stove top and would not work on an electric stovetop. I find the gas stove version of the kettle heats quickly on medium heat saving energy.

I don't know what induction is, sorry. I used it on my gas stove in my RV and it is fantastic!

No, it does not. It is just a basic whistling kettle that heats up on the hob; good quality, but does not work on induction.

I use mine on both a gas and a glass topped electric. Perhaps that is an induction top, I don't know. It works well on both of my surfaces.

Yes, I bought this for my mother and she has an induction. It works well. Pending someone else saying the pain chips, I have this kettle as does my mother and our paint has remained intact with no chips.
