Will these pans work with an induction cook top?

I am not sure. This link I had says if a magnet clings to the bottom, it will work. http://cookingequipment.about.com/od/cookware/f/Induction-Compatible-Cookware.htm. I would, however, check with the emeril site. I love these pans a lot, but know induction cooking works differently. Hope that is of some help.

Yes, they are magnetic - so to test, try a kitchen magnet and if it sticks the pans will work with the induction cook top. Ours did, good luck cooking!!

According to Wikipedia possibly not. It is a Magnetic process . It states "some": aluminum pans have "enough" iron in them for use on induction top. These pots are described as Aluminum. you would have to contact the seller or Farberware Corporate to answer that question . also there is a question as to weather these will scratch the top also...good Luck...Farberware Corporate or some other maker would probably be your best bet..

I looked at the site and it did not describe them as induction. However after a quick check on the internet I learned all I have to do is see if they are magnetic. So yes these pans are able to be cook top and induction.

Hi Carolyn-What a great question. I don't have an induction range, but since these are hard anodized aluminum instead of a Teflon type coating, I would assume that if you can use aluminum pans you would be able to use these.

Yes, it should. I don't have an induction cooktop, but a magnet sticks to it, and I believe that is the test for pans.

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

I don't think so. These pots have an aluminum encapsulated base which should not be used with induction cooktops. You need cast iron, enamel or stainless steel cookware. And even if it were compatible, I would not recommend them at all. The price looked good to me, but now that I'm having to replace them a year later, I wish I'd spent the extra $50 for something better.

I don't know as we do not have an induction stove. However they work great on a new glasstop stove and clean VERY easily. We love our set

I don't believe so. The pot is aluminum which doesn't work with induction heating. Induction cook tops need a ferrous metal like stainless steel.

Nope. These are aluminum pans. Induction only works with high iron content.

I don't know as I have never used them with induction heating. I have used them on the stove top and in the oven and that has worked.

Yes, and yes. These are very nice pans and a pleasure to use with an induction range.

I wish I knew the answer to that one, but I'm not really sure. I suggest checking with the manufacturer. I can see no reason why they would not work, but I have never used an induction cooktop, so you'd be better off checking with WearEver. I really hope that they do work, because having used these for a bit longer now, I would love to go back and give them even more stars. They really hold up well and are just the best cookware I have ever used. Good luck with your search.

No, they can NOT be used on induction cooktop. See the Calphalon site for more information. All Calphalon pans that can be used on induction cooktops have a symbol on the bottom of each pan -- these do not. Almost bought these based on answers to this question, but glad I did some more checking before purchasing -- including going to a brick and mortar store and checking. One easy way to check (if in person) is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, works with induction. There are some other really good sets that work on induction cooktops, including Circulon Premier Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 13-Piece Cookware Set (much cheaper at Costco than on Amazon).

These pans do NOT work on induction stovetops - I don't think the other two people who answered know what an 'induction' stovetop is. They are not magnetic in ANY fashion, which is a requirement of an induction stove. Avoid these pans.

I have the set and use it on my induction cooktop....so yes it will work...assuming they have not changed anything. I am surprised that your stainless steel cookware did not work. I bought mine less than 6 months ago to augment my existing waterless cookware

No they are not, the base of the pans from the set are thicker, this just have a thinner coating. I havent gotten my induction cooktop yet, so cant tell if they work
