Will a magnet stick to this? This is a test to see if it works on my induction cooktop. If not what do you have that works on induction cooktops?

Magnet does not stick. It is made from aluminum. (btw, I am not the owner, I bought one and very happy with it :))

I have one. A magnet will not stick to the bottom and therefore it can not be use on an induction cook top.

If the base will hold a magnet, it will work on an induction cooktop. This was my question also

I was curious as to whether these pans could be used with an induction cook top, so I tested these, and yes a magnet does stick to the bottom.

I don't have an induction stove top, but the magnet won't stick to this so am assuming that it won't work.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

To elaborate a little further. Induction compatible cookware is made with ferris metals. So after trying to stick a magnet to the bottom of the pot it did not stick. Also newer cooking ware is often labeled as induction suitable as my new set is, and after testing those with a magnet the magnet stuck. So again. This pot does not work with an induction cooktop.

I had a magnet here and tried it because a lot of people seem to ask. It did not stick to bottom or sides of pot. This is a pretty good magnet so if a magnet is decider then I say no. Too bad love the pot.

As G. Taylor says, try using a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks then it SHOULD work on an induction stove (my mom had one when I was a kid and it only worked on pans that a magnet could stick to). I am pretty sure that this will not work because it is aluminum (and magnets do not stick to aluminum) so the pan can not generate heat.

Please only answer this question if you have an INDUCTION cooktop. We have an INDUCTION cooktop and IT DOES NOT WORK. A magnet will not stick to the pan. Although the Cuisinart website seems to say that this line is induction friendly, IT IS NOT. DO NOT BELIEVE THE YES ANSWERS HERE!

Good question I tested mine and a kitchen magnet did stick. Hope this helps

I bought it as a gift. However if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work on the induction cook top.

My guess would be that the pan would work. I tested the bottom with a magnet & the magnet stuck pretty good as per a quick test re: inductioncooktops. I have a ceramic cooktop & this pan works great.

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

I have never even looked this up before or knew about what you were talking about. I looked it up on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking. I just put a magnet on the pan you are asking about and it sticks fine! I never use aluminum or copper, neither of which will stick to magnets well. This cookware works great on my induction stove top as do all my other pans, iron skillets and heavy cookware from Germany. Hope this helps.

Mine works on my induction cooktop, it is stainless steel, has been working on it for 2 years.

I just received my Faberware Classic today, a magnet does not stick to it. I have a Nuwave induction cooktop and tried to boil some water, it worked perfectly. So, in my opinion it works just fine...as far as the magnet theory, well.....
