Can you use this product with induction heat?

I suppose so, however, I used natural gas. I also noted that you need to watch the heat carefully. If the heat is too high, the food seems to stick more-so than the normal no-stick surface.

I don't know. I don't cook with induction. I wouldn't think so, based on the other pots I've used that are hybrid.

Induction heat needs a pan with iron in it, which can be tested with a magnet. I held a magnet up to the bottom of my Musa and it didn't stick -- so I would guess that it doesn't work. Sorry!

I know nothing about induction cooking. I use this with open flame (gas) only. For what is appropriate for induction cooking, I suggest the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking Hope this is helpful.

I use mine with induction and an electric stove. Carbon Steel pans work great with induction as do cast iron. I find that this pan heats pretty uneven on both induction and electric. Its probably best to slowly pre-heat the pan for 5-10 minutes before use.

I'm not sure what the difference is in an induction range. It needs to be on a heating element that heats it up.

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

The induction cooking system will heat the middle of the pot and radiate to the rest of the pot, really not the best way to use this system, Gas is a better answer if able.

Sorry, I have never had an induction cooktop and cannot answer your question.

Sorry, do not have an induction cooktop and don't know of anyone who does to try it out for you.

Yes this works perfectly with an induction burner. This is the main reason I purchased this pot - I have 2.

I am not sure what induction is. I have a flat surface stove and it is fine. If there is flame I am not sure if it would hurt the color on the outside of it. I am not sure if I helped you with your question.

It absolutely can be used on an induction burner. I've used mine on a cook-top with induction burners countless times. Also, a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot. I hope this helps.

Hello, I do not think that this product is suitable for induction heat. What little that I can ascertain is what I found in Wikipedia regarding induction cooking. See below "Induction cooking" In induction cooking, an induction coil in the cook-top heats the iron base of cookware. Copper-bottomed pans, aluminium pans and other non-ferrous pans are generally unsuitable. The heat induced in the base is transferred to the food via (metal surface) conduction. Benefits of induction cookers include efficiency, safety (the induction cook-top is not heated itself) and speed. Both permanently installed and portable induction cookers are available. I can not see the aluminum bottom on the pans because it is encased in the dark enamel coloring, I would suggest asking the company that makes this product as wearever.com Hope this gives you the information that you need.

Yes you can. I use mine all the time on my induction cooktop. You will hear a sizzling sound which is just the silicon oil between the layers of the bottom of the pot, but nothing to worry about. The pot really does work.

Yes, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

My understanding of induction heating is that it uses a magnetic field to heat. So anything that's metal will work. This is metal, so I am 99.9% sure it will work.
