Will this work with induction cooktops? (Is it magnetic?)

No it is not magnetic in that I put a kitchen magnet on it and it did not stick. Does that answer your question?

Not being magnetic will hamper the transfer of heat to your cooking surface. So I would have to say no.

Yes. Induction works with any magnetic metal. (If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot or pan, it will work on induction cook tops.)

I don't know whether it will work with an induction cooktop since I have a gas range. These worked really well with my gas range though and are very easy to clean.

This pan is made of mild steel and is therefore magnetic. However, it has a rounded bottom, and I don't know how well that would work with an induction unit. Perhaps someone else has tried it?

Take a magnet and put it too the bottom of the pan. If the magnet holds than it will work with induction cooktops.

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

Induction cook tops require the bottom of any pot or pan to be magnetic. This cookware has an aluminum base infused between two layers of stainless steel. Using a magnet I personally Checked for magnetic properties. The bottom of the pan is non magnetic therefore, it probably will not work on an induction type range.

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!

I don't have an induction cook top. But searching for how to check, multiple websites say to hold a magnet to the bottom and see how strongly it is attracted. I did that and the magnet was attracted just as strongly as against my refrigerator. That bodes well for an induction top. I'd recommend contacting Kitchen Aid directly and check with them.

Sandee, I think you're asking if this griddle is compatible with an induction cooktop. The answer is no. The griddle is solid (anodized) aluminum with a hard non-stick coating applied to the cooking surface. Thus this griddle is non-magnetic and it will not work with an induction heating element. My guess is that most of these non-stick griddles will either be aluminum or clad aluminum, as for example, the All-Clad product line. So if you have an induction cooktop you may need to go old school and look for an iron griddle which likely will be absent any high tech non-stick coating. Although, as you may well know, iron if cured properly builds something of a natural non-stick surface. Cheers!

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content).http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

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

I'm not sure what an induction cooktop is, so I don't really know. I have a ceramic top and it works well.

I use it on an electric cook top. The bottom is a plate about 10 mm (3/8 inch) thick plate so it should be good for an induction cook top. I checked it with a magnet so it should work just fine.

The bottoms are indeed magnetic. I tested this by just taking a kitchen magnet off the fridge and it sticks to the bottom readily. Don't know what this means for an induction cooktop; but the unit works just great.

Yes this kettle works on an induction cooktop. We bought it precisely for this reason and it works beautifully! It isn't that the bottom needs to be magnetic, but rather that the kettle bottom will respond to the magnetic field generated by the induction cooktop (this distinction is probably lost on most people). So if a magnet sticks to the bottom, or it says that it works with induction, it will work for your cooktop. Enjoy!
