I need that somebody put a magnet in the side of the fritatta that is touching the stove. If the magnet is stuck, I can use it in induction. thx!

No, this cookware is not compatible with induction cooking. A magnet will not help. There is a symbol on the bottom on the cookware that looks like loops that is exclusive to cookware made for induction cooking. You can go on line to see what this symbol looks like. If the symbol is not there, then the cookware is not made for induction cooking.

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!

I have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success. My thinking is, the contact area is too small to transfer the "induction" function of the stove. I have the NuWave table too model. My take a way lesson, maximum contact required for best function of induction stove. Glad you enquired about it. Now I need to try it on my cook top. Its my observation induction requires really flat surface cookware to be effective. Lodge has reengineered their pans to be more responsive to induction stoves. If I get a chance I will test them too.

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.

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.

RK:The induction cooktop works with smooth pans that have a special magnetic metal content. I tried a magnet on the bottom of my Futura.....it did not stick. If you're considering purchase of the induction, be sure to investigate the price for replacing all of your cookware. Good luck and Happy New Year! dee

Hi Ray, to my understanding a pan must be metallic to be used on an induction stove. This is stainless steel, a magnet will stick to it but not well.i hope this helps you in some way good luck. I do love this pan

...ehh...I would say no. Induction works by using magnetic fields. Use a magnet on the bottom of your cookware to test if it's 'induction-ready'. If it sticks, you're good to go. Concerning this kettle, the answer is no. It has an amazing weak magnetic attraction.

have not used on an induction cooktop but a magnet will attach to the bottom of the pot.

This did not work on my induction range..problem is that there is a ridge around the one side, therefore it doesn't sit flat on the cooktop. I am still looking for a similar piece that would work...

I googled Culinary arts on about.com, induction cooking. It said the pan would only work if it was Steel or cast iron and that to check a pan, see if a magnet sticks to it. If it does, it's steel or cast iron and will work. I stuck a magnet to this pan and it didn't hold. I think I read in another comment that this pan is aluminum. So my guess is it wouldn't work. The induction cooking article on about.com is very helpful. Maybe they would know a good Eco pan for the stove.

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.

Hi Diane--I know you wanted a DEFINITE answer, but I don't think you're going to get one unless someone actually tried it on an induction burner and you may wait forever for that someone to answer you. You can try to contact the manufacturer (good luck unless you speak Italian) to inquire as to the rating of chromium/nickel they use in the product; the more nickel, the shinier it is and the less magnetic therefore the less likely to work on your induction burner. Two things: a magnet will NOT stick to this ultra-shiny little pot, and the bottom is just shy of 2 1/2" diameter, and I believe induction burners don't detect pots under 4". The instruction booklet states (vaguely) that "The coffee-pot can be used on any source of heat", but even though induction burners have been around for a few decades, they have probably been using this same instruction book since before then. I'm thinking it's not going to work, but this is such a fantastic little pot that makes awesome espresso (I use it every day) that it would be worth it to buy a little hot plate just so you can use it. Sorry, but I figured a (semi) educated guess would be better than no answer at all. Good luck! Ellie Newcomb

Take a magnet to the bottom if it adheres you can use it. Any cookware will work the same way.

Unfortunately, no it can't. Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic metal and this pot does not meet that requirement.

You might get a more accurate answer if you asked about an "induction cooktop" (assuming you just misspelled it) or, for those unfamiliar with induction technology, you could just ask if a magnet would stick to it.

I just received my Faberware Classic today, a magnet does not stick to it. I have a Nuwave induction cooktop and tried to boil some water, it worked perfectly. So, in my opinion it works just fine...as far as the magnet theory, well.....

I have limited knowledge of the induction process, but I believe that it involves the use of ferrous metals, and I doubt that there are ferrous metals in this pan. I you like, I will get a magnet tomorrow and find that out, but I'm quite busy now. J
