Can it be used on an inductiion cooktop? (ie. does a magnet stick to it)

It is carbon steel so a magnet will stick to it. This wok, however, was designed to be used over flame. I don't think you will get the cooking outcomes you want over induction or electric. It will work, but you will have to be sharp about even distribution of heating. I use mine over a large 8" flame that can range from 1"-8" as the are in Chinese restaurants in Asia. You might to better with a teflon wok with a wood handle as a suggestion.

I have never used an induction cooktop but I understand that it only works with ferromagnetic metals. Carbon steel generally is but it can depend on how much carbon in it. My opinion is the wok should work, a magnet does stick to it but you might want to consult the manual for the cooktop just to be sure.

I don't know anything about induction cooktops, but a magnet grabbed onto mine just fine.

Yes, you can. It's Carbon Steel; but I don't think you are going to get the heat intended for this wok. This is a great heavy gauge wok; if anything is going to give you good results, this one will. The Wok Shop is great, email them with any other questions, they provide great support.

No, you cannot use this pan on an induction stove because it is made of anodized aluminum. You have to have a cast iron or a stainless steel pan that a magnet will stick to. I have an induction burner and I can only use a few of my pans on it. Be aware that not all stainless steel will work - test with a magnet! If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, you can use 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.

After reading your question, I placed a magnet to the bottom of the pot and it did stick. So I would say yes, it would work with an induction stove top.

It can be used on an induction stove top. It is not magnetic, it's made out of copper with a tin lining.

Hi, I bought this item .I don't have an induction stove so I searched here http://www.ask.com/wiki/Induction_cooking and it told me the metal must be made of ferromagnetic metal so being I didn't know exactly what that was I searched again here http://www.school-for-champions.com/science/magnetic_materials.htm#.VE-gmvl4pcQ So I would say anything that a magnet sticks to good would work according to what I have read,for your future purchases it is the best way to tell .I took a magnet to the set in question and it sticks real good too.So I believe it it a go.Ted

Please only answer this question if you have an INDUCTION cooktop. We have an INDUCTION cooktop and IT DOES NOT WORK. A magnet will not stick to the pan. Although the Cuisinart website seems to say that this line is induction friendly, IT IS NOT. DO NOT BELIEVE THE YES ANSWERS HERE!

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

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.

I looked at the bottom of my 1.5 QT sauce pan; it says "induction ready". I tested it with a magnet and the magnet stuck. So, even though I do not personally use an induction cooktop, I'm pretty confident the answer is yes.

IF there isnt ANY steel on the bottom it will NOT work with the induction cooktop! We have a few induction burners and a magnet MUST stick/hold well to the bottom of the pot for it to work. IF this is a true stainless as the title says, it WILL NOT work on an induction burner.

Yes, I use it on my Bosch 30" induction cooktop. It is aluminized steel so the steel is what is magnetized. I used it when I first got my kitchen reno but haven't used it lately

I wasn't entirely sure how to know at first. But, when I googled how to find out...I was told to try sticking a magnet to bottom of pot. If it stuck then it would be considered compatible with inductive cooking. The magnet did stick! I hope this helps.

I don't have an induction stove top, but the magnet won't stick to this so am assuming that it won't work.

The rule of thumb is "if a magnet will stick to the pan you are using, you can use it with induction ranges." I tried sticking a magnet to mine and it did NOT stick, so unfortunately, the answer to your question is No.

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.

If a magnet can stick to the pan then it will work. If not then you need different pans. I love this cooktop btw.
