All the design aspects are appealing, if only it will work on an induction range. Has anyone used a magnet on its base?

Sorry, I have a gas stove, but I love this tea kettle. Large capacity, easy to fill at center and one hand operation - one button to open, another to close spout. I hope you can find a way to use it with an induction range.

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.

No, A magnet will not stick, it is made from Titanium, but do not know about induction safe!

I don't know anything about induction ranges but if I put a magnet to the pan it most certainly attracts. Hope that helps you.

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?

NO!!! I went by the advice given here and bought it.. it does NOT work on an induction cooktop and a magnet does NOT stick to it! Not sure why others said it does.

Well, here's my answer. My knowledge with induction is somewhat limited (I use a vintage gas stove), but my understanding is that the surface of the bottom of the pot needs to have enough contact with the cooktop, which it would but for a fairly decent engraving of "18/10 stainless". I thought though (and I'm probably wrong but I did look it up on wikipedia and it advised so), that the pot also needs to be somewhat receptive to magnetism which it is not (I tested a magnet on the bottom of the pan). So that reviewer is probably right.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

I've owned mine a year. It works great being heated on a coleman stove or an interior ceramic cooktop. Not magnetic that I know of

No, it does not work on induction. I expected it too as it is stainless, but doesn't have enough stainless to create the magnetic field necessary.

I don't have an induction cooktop, Works great on my gas range . I am sure it would work very well on any cooking surface..I like it very much, glad to have it..

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.

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.

Aluminum is not magnetic. So it is not compatible with induction cooking. And convection doesnt hold any even enough temp to make waxes...

Works great on a gas range but cannot tell you whether it works on an induction range.

Just found this: "Magnetized bases are compatible with all cooking surfaces - including induction"Here: http://cookware.lecreuset.com/cookware/product_Tri-Ply-Stainless-Steel-8-Piece-Set_10151_-1_20002_10272_

Can you stick a magnet to it, then it will work for induction, if not it won't. So, all aluminum, even hard anodized is out. Stainless steel, cast iron, copper.
