can this be used on an induction burner, to provide a magnetic surface &amp; conductor underneath an aluminum espresso Moka pot?

I honestly do not know. I have kept them on top of my 4 gas range burners, and absolutely love them!!!

If it is iron metal or at least a magnet would stick to, and not aluminum or copper it will work. You need to use iron pots and pans because an inductive cooker works by magnetic field. Although, you can buy an adapter plate so that you can use non-inductive pots and pans on your inductive cooker.

No, you cannot cook in this pan on an induction burner. It is not magnetic, and will therefore not work. The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless steel , Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless steel cookware manufactured after 2010, Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron and Enamel Cast Iron cookware are all induction capable. Induction cook tops contain high-frequency electromagnets. In order to generate heat, the cookware used with induction cook tops must also contain magnetic elements. Generally, if a magnet adheres to cookware, the cookware is induction capable. A magnet will not adhere to this pan, but just to be sure, I pulled out our portable induction unit and tried it again before I answered your question. It's wonderful cookware - I have a whole set of it - but it was a deal-breaker in our remodel last year when I discovered it was not compatible to the induction kitchen we were planning. We went back with gas. . .

If I understand how induction stoves work, then no. The pot is not magnetic (some stainless steels are not), and your stove would not be able to induce heat in said pot. Sorry for the delay

It should work just fine with an induction plate, however it will certainly take much longer to establish a rolling boil. Using it over a direct flame source will be much more efficient for the volume of liquid that can be put in it.

do you mean an induction cooktop?? I don't really know. It is a hard anodized aluminum, yes, so if aluminum doesn't work on that heat source then no, it won't. It's a very nice griddle pan though.

In order for this pot to be use on an induction range you must have an interface disk to place the pot on. Cooking vessels must be made of ferromagnetic metal to be used on induction ranges, I do not know if this pot contains that metal. I have a gas range and this pot works beautifully....I am so sorry I did not purchase another one.

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

I don't see how it could be used that way, no. I ordered one for that same purpose assuming it was a solid plate, but this is a stamped steel disc with a raised rim for it to slip over a conventional burner. The only way I could see it working on an induction cooktop would be to place it upside down and then use a pan or pot that is smaller than the raised rim.

I guess the question is if it could be used with induction cooking systems; if that is the case, then the answer will yes! Ever since, it is metal. But to be sure have to check with a magnet the iron content. Will get back to you soon since out on vacation.

Since the pots are non-ferromagnetic material an interface disk that is of ferromagnetic material must be used for induction heating. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooker

Hmmm-- I don't know if it can be used on an induction cooker, whatever that is. The bottom is not magnetic though. I bought it because it was non teflon. I had to bite the bullet because of the price, but am glad I did. It is sturdy enough and I use it all the time, but only for poached eggs. I found it disappointing that there were so few similar offerings in stainless steel.

I don't see why it would not be able to be used on an induction burner. The inductions appear to be smooth ceramic style surface just like my stove top.

Let me start by saying I am not 100% positive but I would say no. The bottom of the kettle has a ridge so it's not perfectly flat and therefore would not sit on the induction burner like a regular pot would. I would recommend emailing manufacturer directly for positive confirmation. I hope this helps.

I have used an electric stove top burner several times and it works perfectly fine. As another answer pointed out, just make sure the handle is not directly above the heating element. Enjoy your espresso!

I believe it's iron so it should be fine to use on an induction burner. It is not stainless steel as it does hold a magnet! I have used this for many things.. Smoking meats to reheating steamed crabs. Heavy duty base, the lid could be aluminum. Hope this helps.

I have an electric stove. I do not have experience with induction surfaces. The bottom of the pot is perfectly flat without a design if that helps you make a decision. I've enjoyed my pot for making pasta sauces and soups.
