Just wondering if this would serve as a heat adapter for an induction range under a non-magnetic pot?

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 have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success.

Never tried, but I am guessing it should work in theory, and cast iron is probably a good metal for that since it retains heat very well (just takes longer to heat up).

No! I just ordered this for my induction because of the answer here..... It is not magnetic. Do not order if you have an induction cooktop!!

No. I actually bought this teapot to use with an induction plate at my studio/office, but the metal is not ferrous enough. I ended up switching this teapot, which works great otherwise, with one I had at home.

You could use it to heat two different leftovers in on an electric stove. I had purchased it to use on a inductive stove, and it does not work as metal is not magnetic.

The bottom of this pot is mostly flat, except for a relatively narrow recessed "groove" around the perimeter, where the bottom piece is crimped to the body. The metal is thin, but a magnet WILL stick to the bottom, so it might work will with an induction system.

No. It is aluminum and therefore non-magnetic. Induction cooking requires iron/steel vessels.

You're right. It is not suited for induction burners. I'd recommend All-Clad pot instead.

This pan is suitable for glass top, electric element, or gas ranges. Since it is aluminum however, it will not work on magnetic induction glass top burners.

I don't believe so. The pot is aluminum which doesn't work with induction heating. Induction cook tops need a ferrous metal like stainless steel.

It appears you need an "adapter";http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

If it's stainless steel- it will work with induction heat- we use it with a propane system- very even heat

i don't have an induction cooktop, so i really don't know. You might like to call the company.

No good for induction with it being made out aluminium and stainless steel so don't buy it, hope this helps ?....Mike

No, because the pots are made of aluminum, which is not magnetic. Induction cooking uses magnetism to heat up the cookware, which in turn heats the food. These pots can be used on conduction stoves (gas and electric).

Yes. I tried a magnet, it does stick to the bottom of the pan. Not sure though, if it will work with an induction range.

I just checked and magnets do NOT stick to this pot. Unfortunately I don't have an induction stove to check if it works. But, as others have noted, it is designed to pour water into it anyway.EDIT: Some of the comments made me look it up. Stainless steel can be magnetic or non-magnetic; it depends on the exact composition of the steel.

No, this is not for an induction cooktop or burner. The construction is nearly 100% aluminum, which is not magnetic.
