Does this pot work well with an induction heater? I'm looking for an alternative for a slow cooker.

If by induction heater you mean an induction element used in glass-top stoves, then yes, it works very well. We have found that the due to the pot's construction and material, it regulates the cooking temp very well.

Yes! Be careful, as the heat in the pot is almost instantaneous. Induction activates the ferrous molecules in the cookware, the pot gets hot immediately. Low heat, in Le Creuset, and induction, is best. In my experience, a higher temp is achieved very quickly, losing that gained heat happens much slower. I use my induction top's temp set feature to keep temps low low, like 150F, or lower, for slow slow.

My Maytag stove has a glasstop induction heating sytem and this works great to cook in. I do have to check it to make sure nothing sticks (like chili or soup with meat) but if it starts to, it comes off easily. Even on a low setting though, your ingredients will get warm quickly so as far as a slow cooker, I don't know if this will work. I used my crock pot the other day with a beef roast and veggies and it cooked for 8 hours. Using this LeCreuset on a stove, it will not take 8 hours to cook anything.

Yes it works with induction cooking. Just don't add very much to the oil at once. A small amount is all it can handle or the oil cools down too fast.Item is tall and narrow. Not much surface area to heat up. I use mine to store oil in now and don't cook with it.

These pots work with induction heat. I have a little problem with the smallest pot. I have to work it around just right to get it to connect with the burner. But for the price they are a very good option.

I don't know. I don't cook with induction. I wouldn't think so, based on the other pots I've used that are hybrid.

I do not have an induction stove top. But, according to what I read about induction, if a magnet clings quite well to the bottom of the pot, itshould be safe to use for induction. You are totally on your own.

I am pretty sure it will work with induction heating but I know very little about that type of heating. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

If I understand how induction stoves work, then no. The pot is not magnetic (some stainless steels are not), and your stove would not be able to induce heat in said pot. Sorry for the delay

A person who purchased the 5 QT version of this pot says that it DOES work on their induction range. (See the Q&A; for that item).

Hi Inna! Yes, the stock pot is induction capable. You will love the versatility of the slow cooker and also the health benefits. I work for 360 Cookware, feel free to call me with any questions. 877.335.7267 x 509. Kiki

I have not tried it on an induction cooktop. I use a cast iron tea candle holder with this teapot, and it will keep the tea warm for several hours. I think the instructions on the box said not to use on a stove to boil water in the pot, but if you have already brewed the tea, you might be able to keep it warm on the very lowest setting on an induction cooktop.

It is not being used on an induction stove, in fact I didn't know what an inductive stove was ! This is basically like a regular pot, except it has the spout and guage on it, and it works very well for brewing (on the regular electric stove anyway)

Just checked the Cuisinart site. This pot will not work on an induction cooktop.

I think the manufacturer warns against heatinhg them up too hot. I don't use high heat with this pot on my induction stovetop. I also didn't use high heat on my ceramic electric cooktop.

I don't know. I do not have an induction stove. It is a metal pot. If an induction stove works with metal, it should work with this.

I think it would work fine, not really sure what a induction stove is, I have electric convection stove, & also used on my wood stove when power was out, works great for me

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

Induction cooking is supposed to work with Stainless steel. I have not, however, confirmed it with this pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking
