Will this set work with induction? Is it magnetic?

A magnet does adhere to the bottom of the pan which I understand means it would be suitable on an induction type stove top.

I do not know if it would work with induction, but I would never buy this brand again as the largest pot split at the bottom and was very sharp and I consider that very dangerous for anyone to have , let alone a family with children.

It's not magnetic. I don't have an induction oven so I can't speak to that. Other than the copper venear wearing off on the outside of the pans, I still love them

I am not sure. We have one Emeril pot and love it. This set is not nearly as nice. We are disappointed with it. I do not recommend the set especially if you are looking for a decent set. We regret not returning the set.

It is not induction compatible. Magnet does not stick. The version with the aluminum insert, and a disk base, is induction compatible.

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

These pans are aluminum.. NON FERROUS. So they will NOT WORK with induction... they do not have magnetic qualities which is required for induction cooking. Sorry N. McWilliams, Aluminum isn't ferrous (containing iron).

Best advice....always test cookware with a magnet. If it is magnetic, it will work fine on induction cooktops. Not all stainless steel is magnetic, as it depends on the percentage of chromium in the metal blend. ONLY use magnetic cookware for induction cooktops.

It will not work with induction because it is not magnetic iron; copper plated brass, I believe. Sorry!

No, but the cookware has to be compatible for induction cooking. If a magnet will stick to it, it should work. Lots of inexpensive pots and pans on the shelf in customary retail stores that will work.

It's stainless steel which is magnetic and induction cooking uses magnetism, though I don't know exactly how that works. Other stainless steel pots would probably work, but I bought these because I knew they were made to work with induction, and that the metal wouldn't be mixed or layered with something that wouldn't work as well. You could sure try your regular stainless steel pots first, though, if you have them. If the pot isn't pure stainless steel it wouldn't work, either not at all or not as well, depending on its composition. The answer below is a more scientific answer!

I have an induction cooktop, and it works. As one of the previous reviewer stated, if a magnet will stick to it, it's induction compatible. I have noticed that it takes longer to heat than my cast iron does on the same setting.

I don't think they are 'induction' rated. Like I said before, these pans are pretty cheap. To answer your second question, a magnet WILL stick to the bottom.

Yes, they will work with an induction system because of the magnetic ability of stainless steel. To see if any pan is induction worthy all you have to do is see if a magnet will stick to the bottom. Induction has to do with magnetism.

It should not work. Induction cooking requires a ferrous metal and if you don't have one. Induction cooking won't work. This pan is aluminum and Titanium. neither of which are magnetic."A magnet will stick to metals that are ferrous such as iron, steel or nickel. A magnet will not stick to non-ferrous metals such as titanium, gold, brass and aluminum. Magnets do not usually stick to metals that are most valuable."

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, unfortunately these pans do not have the magnetic properties needed for induction cooktops.

Apparently not this variety. See http://www.meyer.com/brandsinduction.html for brands that are induction compatible.

No, no, no. Most stainless cookware will not work on induction ranges that require pans to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan it indicates induction compatibility. All cast iron qualifies. If a stainless steel, ceramic or other pan qualifies, the manufacturer will surely proclaim that feature.

Not sure about induction. But magnets don't stick to aluminum. Just saying.
