can these be used on an induction stovetop?

I think there is no problem there. However I wanted to put this comment, one of the lids broke, by itself, while it was on fire. The good thing is that when it broke it did not shatter glass everywhere, kind of like when the car windshield breaks, but still, now one of my pots has no lid.

According to the instructions they are "suitable for all types of cooker, including induction hobs".

Yes, we have been using them on an induction cooktop and it has been working fine. The bottoms need to be flat for it to work well, and these have a flat bottom.

I do not have an induction stove, hence cannot advise you on this matter. Cuisinart product information shows it can be used on induction stove top. Please check their web page.

No I don't think that they are approved for induction cooking, I recommend the NuWave Cookware for induction cooking.

These would not. I bought them to use on an induction cook-top and they don't work. I would not recommend these for any body for anyone. For the price they are it was a horrible disappointment. I am very sad that they don't work. I spent way too much money for this failure.

Yes, they work great on induction. I use them on induction everyday. May have to do some experimenting to figure out the best heat to use. In general, low heat is key.

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).

I don't believe so. I think I read somewhere that they don't work on the induction type of cooktop. I believe it was one of the reviews on Amazon. If you go to the t-fal webpage, the pots and pans that they have that do work (solid stainless), they state that they work.

I do not have an induction cook top, but I have seen this pot in a hotel kitchen that had an induction cook top. So my guess is that they are compatible.

NO you can't use them on an induction stove. I made that mistake and never got a refund. Go with Circulon.

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

Yes they do work with induction cooktops. That's where we us ours and they work very well.

No. They are not safe for induction cooking. You would need to get stainless steel or copper.

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.

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 believe these DO NOT work with induction. Induction cooktops use a magnetic field to heat the metal in the pans. Since these are made of aluminum they won't be affected by the magnetic field.

Yes, I use them on glass surface electric stove. I cannot see why they would not also work on induction.
