I heat my milk in the microwave or stove top in a separate pan or cup then put it in this frother. I don't think I would use it on a stove top.

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

No, it is not magnetic, but this is ,in my opinion, irrelevant in the case of an " Induction " stove top. Indeed, in this case the Stove Tamer will get quite hot, but the contents of the pan sitting on the Stove Tamer will not cook. I will definitely avoid using such a tool with an Induction type stove top. However, I highly recommend its use with a GAS or ELECTRIC stove top, in particular, but not exclusively, for simmering.

I have no idea about how it would work on an induction stove top. We have heating coils.

Check the bottom of the pan, there should be an imprint that says "induction suitable". You can also check the bottom of the pan with a magnet .... if the magnet is attracted to the pan it can work with induction burners.The product purchased from Amazon does work with induction burners.

Simple, just get a small magnet and see if it is adheres to the bottom of the pan. If it hears to the pan, it is good on the induction.

Inside pan is not magnetic, so can't be used on induction stove tops. However, the bottom is just 'okay' to use on regular electric or gas stoves, because it has a smallish (approx. 2" diameter) flat area on bottom of otherwise rounded pan bottom.

Brian, since this is a single wall stainless steel with no magnetic bottom, it will not perform well on an induction stove. Recommend you find a pot with dual bottom construction.

I am sorry, but I will not be able to answer your question since I do not have an induction cooktop. I have natural gas in my kitchen. I remember reading somewhere that induction stoves must use iron pots, or have a magnetic disk at the bottom. Perhaps you could call Cuisinart and they would tell you for sure.

I believe it has to be magnetic to use on induction stovetops and I don't think that applies to this particular pot. I love mine but I don't have an induction stovetop.

I'm pretty sure the magnet test is good. I would ask an induction stove maker. But as for the pans Costco has a great deal on 2 beautiful pans like AllClad used to be.

I have a GE induction cooktop. It works fine, since it is carbon steel. Induction works by causing the ferrous molecules in a utensil to vibrate, creating heat. The quick and easy test for whether a pot or pan will work with induction is to put a magnet on it. If it sticks, there is enough ferrous metal in the pan, such as with ceramic clad utensils. I use carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans on my induction top.

yes, I have and induction stove. Anything a magnet will stick to can be used on and induction stove. Love my all clad.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

I do not know what an induction stove is, so I won't be of any help to you. I do know that this pot does not have a magnetic bottom. It is ceramic over steel.

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.

I was using the pans at lunchtime and checked it for you with a fridge magnet..Sorry, a magnet did not stick to any part of the pans so probably it would not work for you. I didn't know how the induction cooktops worked, so I'm glad you asked the question about magnets, good to know!
