Are these pans induction cookware. Or can they be used on the Nuwave cook top?

The bottom of these pans are made from aluminum. This material is not ferromagnetic so its is unlikely to work on an induction cook top.

No. They are not induction pans. They are regular pans to be used on a gas or electric stove.

I have this set off pans and a stand alone induction cook top separate from my electric cook top. These pans are very nice but copper is not magnetic nor is the stainless steal layer magnetic grade therefore they will not work on an induction stove. As someone else noted test your pans with a magnet. If it does not stick to the pan you will not be able to induce the magnetic field necessary to heat the pan.

The pots work very well on my single induction cooktop. It isn't a NuWave but very similar.

This set can be used in all NuWave Ovens. I love this set and use it all the time in my NuWave Pro. I also have a Pic (precision induction cooktop) by NuWave. It uses induction ready cookware and cast iron. If you have one of the ovens you can certainly use this sharper image set.

No the pans do not have the induction symbol on the bottom and they donot respond to a magnet. My opinion at this point is that they are not good for induction cook tops

My set is used on a ceramic top range and works fine. I do not know about the Nuwave, sorry.

Cast iron works well if bottom is absolutely flat. I see a number of cookware advertised to be induction . I purchased the Nuwave cookware. I knew someone who was cooking with it and was thrilled with it. It's the best cookware I have ever had. I didn't purchase other brand cookware peices to try.

I'm looking at a listing for this set on another website and the listing says "not suitable for induction cooktops." I don't think you can use any aluminum on induction cooktops.

No these pans are all aluminum. NuWave claim to fame is the way it transfers heat from the burner to the pan. It uses an induction technology which means it uses magnetic waves to transfer heat from the burner to the pan... and that requires the pan be made of magnetic material, like steel-aluminum isn't magnetic.

NO. But there is available for purchase from Amazon or E-bay a induction disk which will make any set of cookware compatable with a Nuiwave. I bought one and problem solved.,

Yes, I have induction burners on my stovetop and they work perfectly. These are the best non-stick pans I have ever owned. Really excellent weight and quality and clean up is so easy. You can cook virtually anything with no oil or spray.

YES! I bought this set for my nuwave induction unit! This set is absolutely beautiful also. Extremely high quality, says on bottom of each pan induction ready! (Induction symbols).

These pans are aluminum.. NON FERROUS. So they will NOT WORK with induction... they do not have magnetic qualities which is required for induction cooking. Sorry N. McWilliams, Aluminum isn't ferrous (containing iron).

No, they can NOT be used on induction cooktop. See the Calphalon site for more information. All Calphalon pans that can be used on induction cooktops have a symbol on the bottom of each pan -- these do not. Almost bought these based on answers to this question, but glad I did some more checking before purchasing -- including going to a brick and mortar store and checking. One easy way to check (if in person) is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, works with induction. There are some other really good sets that work on induction cooktops, including Circulon Premier Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 13-Piece Cookware Set (much cheaper at Costco than on Amazon).

I don't see why these pots wouldn't work on induction cook top. My guess, YES it will work but check the manufacturer for a second opinion. I prefer and use gas stove because it cooks faster and these pots works very well in even cooking. It may take getting used to cooking with these because it takes heat well so you may have to figure out how to adjust your cooking so it won't cook or burn too fast or food stick to pan. But the product is wonderful to me so far after a year of use!

I don't think so. These pots have an aluminum encapsulated base which should not be used with induction cooktops. You need cast iron, enamel or stainless steel cookware. And even if it were compatible, I would not recommend them at all. The price looked good to me, but now that I'm having to replace them a year later, I wish I'd spent the extra $50 for something better.

Hi Rita, That's exactly why I bought the set. It works very well on induction stoves. I use the NuWave CookTop with no problems.
