Will a magnet stick to it/will it work with an induction cook top?

I gave this as a gift to my sister. She has an induction cook top & loves the pot. As far as the magnet, I couldn't say.

So, I just went into my kitchen to test this out. A magnet WILL stick to the tea kettle. I have a gas stove top so I am unable to comment on the induction cook top. But i LOVE this Tea kettle. It holds enough water to fill a french press for coffee AND a tea pot. I have used and abused this for over a year and it still looks as great as the day I got it. Hope this helps!

Yes a magnet will stick to it. And it WILL work on induction cook top. Just an FYI this has NO whistle so when the water is boiling if you aren't looking at it, you may not know. But I LOVE mine and have had it for a couple of years now. I use it every day (big tea drinker) and it is not even close to requiring replacement.

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!!

It should not work. Induction cooking requires a ferrous metal and if you don't have one. Induction cooking won't work. This pan is aluminum and Titanium. neither of which are magnetic."A magnet will stick to metals that are ferrous such as iron, steel or nickel. A magnet will not stick to non-ferrous metals such as titanium, gold, brass and aluminum. Magnets do not usually stick to metals that are most valuable."

Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.

The way to determine whether or not a pot is compatible with an induction cooktop is by doing the 'magnet test'. If a magnet will NOT adhere to the bottom of the pan (regardless if the sides of the pot stainless steel) then the pot will most likely NOT be compatible with an induction cook top. Which brings me to your answer - no, a magnet will not adhere to the bottom of the pot so it is unlikely this is compatible with an induction cook top.

I don't know anything about Induction cooktops, but I can tell you that a regular magnet does not attach itself to the bottom of the pan, if that helps any....?

Yes, they are magnetic - so to test, try a kitchen magnet and if it sticks the pans will work with the induction cook top. Ours did, good luck cooking!!

Yes it can. As long as a magnet is attracted to the pan, it will work. Just be careful to not drop the pan or set it down too heavily on the cook top.

I could not get a magnet to stick to the bottom of my inner pot. I have what I believe is the newest model--mine has the yogurt-making function. Even if a magnet stuck, you should be aware that the bottom of this pot is concave, not flat, so only the outer-most rim of the bottom would make contact with your stovetop. However, the Instant Pot itself has a "keep warm" function.

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

Yes, it should. I don't have an induction cooktop, but a magnet sticks to it, and I believe that is the test for pans.

My guess would be that the pan would work. I tested the bottom with a magnet & the magnet stuck pretty good as per a quick test re: inductioncooktops. I have a ceramic cooktop & this pan works great.

No, the bottom is not magnetic. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on an induction cooktop, but I don't have one so I can't say for sure. This is the best little pot I have. I use it all the time.

Yes a magnet sticks to the bottom & sides of the pan. These can be used on an induction cooktop. You would not believe how fast water boils & food cooks on induction.

The bottom of the T-fal pan will stick to a magnet. So I assume that it will work with an induction cook top. Doug Mandt

I have one. A magnet will not stick to the bottom and therefore it can not be use on an induction cook top.

yes a magnet does stick to the bottom and that makes it good for induction stove
