Do these work with an induction stove? If you are not sure, does a magnet stick to the bottom of each pot/pan?

I don't know about induction stoves, but I checked this pan with a magnet, and it stuck. If you get the pan, enjoy it! I like mine a lot.

Magnets will stick to the thickly-clad pan-bottoms [indicating they work on Induction burners]. The sidewalls of the pans are a nice-weight stainless steel, and magnets will also stick to the sides, indicating they do work on Induction burners. The WARNING is: lids: Lids are glass framed in stainless steel. The edges that fit into the pans are SHARP, especially where notched; these edges can shred dish sponges and fingers used to clean inside the recessed inner edge [which is hard to keep clean because it is recessed]. AND, lid knobs designed to stack into each other [some of them], are hollow. That means, they get HOT. The shape of the lids is not easy to use a potholder on. Lids do NOT seal tightly into pans, which means they do allow steam to escape--easy to mistakenly let pans boil dry unless keeping an eye on them.

They don't have a magnetic base, but they have a aluminum encaspsulated stainless steal bottom! They are designed for induction stove tops, the induction stove top uses magnetic technology and the stainless steal is what makes it work on induction heating units. I use them on my nuwave pic portable stove top. They have the induction label on the bottom of each piece. They will work on any type of stove, gas, electric, induction etc. the set is extremely well made and beautiful with ultimate quality!

Yes they will. I love my set. For the price the set is great. I was told that if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, then it will work with induction.

Sorry, took me a while to remember to try this when I was at home, but yes, magnets do stick to the pan. I've never heard of induction cooking, now I have to look it up! :-)

yes a magnet does stick to the bottom and that makes it good for induction stove

No, if a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on an induction stove. This pan is all aluminum (no clad on the bottom) therefore will not work.

Hi Earl: I just checked and yes, magnets do stick to the bottom of the teakettle. :)

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.

NO. It does not work with an induction stove, nor does a magnet stick to the bottom.

To elaborate a little further. Induction compatible cookware is made with ferris metals. So after trying to stick a magnet to the bottom of the pot it did not stick. Also newer cooking ware is often labeled as induction suitable as my new set is, and after testing those with a magnet the magnet stuck. So again. This pot does not work with an induction cooktop.

A small magnet sticks so most likely the answer is yes --- I do not use an induction cooktop. Hope this helps...very nice non commercial pot.

My induction stove has yet to be installed, however, I did do the magnet test and these pans do past that test so they should work just fine.

I have no idea, as I have a gas cooktop. But being stainless steel, I thought that yes, a magnet would stick to the bottom of it. However, when I tried it, the magnet would not stick to it. I was surprised and wondered if in fact it really is stainless steel. I'll have to google it to see if stainless steel is magnetic.

I do not believe so. Pans used on induction cooktops must be made of material that attracts magnets. This is because induction works through electromagnetism, so the pan must attract magnetic charges. I put a magnet to the bottoms of my Ecosolution pans and none will stick. Only a very expensive European pot I have would stick to the magnet.

don't know anything about induction but a magnet does stick to the bottom of the kettle, nowhere else on the kettle, but the bottom, yes.

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.
