why is it just induction ready instead of a induction pan?

The pans do not induce anything if they aren't used with induction burner. They do work on a regular burner as well.

I agree with previous response. The smallest sauce pan does not work on our induction surface for some unknown reason. I think the burner does not "sense" enough ferrous material. The rest of the induction pans work great especially for the price.Steve

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.

It conducts the heat from a induction cook surface to the contents in a regular pot. Induction cooking requires a metal pan that reacts to magnets. Regular pan/pots won't work on an induction cook surface without the disk. I've used mine and it works great. With the disk, you don't have to replace your old cookware.

No. Cuisinart is careful to point out the cookware that has a magnetized steel base and is induction ready for their cookware that is induction ready The Cuisinart Green Gourmet Ceramic pans like the 12" skillet on Amazon say magnetized steel base is induction ready. Nice pan, $99.

The removable pan is not a stand-alone cooking pan; it is too thin. Furthermore, it is pure aluminum alloy and is not induction-friendly.

The induction cooking system will heat the middle of the pot and radiate to the rest of the pot, really not the best way to use this system, Gas is a better answer if able.

Copper is not induction ready metal, as it is not magnetic. This pan you are looking at is in fact induction ready because it is stainless steel. The core of the pan has a copper center for even heat distribution, and is then wrapped with the induction ready magnetic stainless steel.

Well, here's my answer. My knowledge with induction is somewhat limited (I use a vintage gas stove), but my understanding is that the surface of the bottom of the pot needs to have enough contact with the cooktop, which it would but for a fairly decent engraving of "18/10 stainless". I thought though (and I'm probably wrong but I did look it up on wikipedia and it advised so), that the pot also needs to be somewhat receptive to magnetism which it is not (I tested a magnet on the bottom of the pan). So that reviewer is probably right.

You may want to contact Demeyere to determine if this pan is induction cooking ready. Demeyere is one of the innovators of cookware for induction cooking but if this stainless pan does not have one of the added metals needed for effective induction cooking, it may not work.

Yes it is induction ready and suitable for all current stove top styles according to the manufacturer. I love the set an cook on a glass stove top surface

Yes it works very well on induction, and was one of th main reasons I bought this pan.

The 3rd picture shows a coil, which is the symbol for induction as someone already said.SS by itself is not induction ready as SS is not magnetic. Usually manufacturers will put a metal bottom on SS pans to make them induction ready.

Most cooks prefer this type of cooking method because you will use better quality cookware on our units stainless or cast iron for example. Unlike cheaper cookware that degrades and breaks down over time in your food. Induction is safe fast and efficient.

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

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 wish I knew that as well. I bought the pans and love them but I don't own an induction oven. Sorry I couldn't help.

No clad base and not magnetic (so I assume that means not induction ready).
