Induction Kettle Does this Oxo Uplift kettle work on induction stove tops or just gas?

It's amazing to me how little information about appropriate cooktops is in the product description. I must have an induction friendly kettle, but 3/4 of the descriptions don't mention it. Using a magnet in stores, I've discovered that many so called "pure stainless steel" kettles fail the magnet test... thanks for your input MommieMe.

NO! I called OXO and they confirmed this tea kettle will not work with induction cooktops. OXO does not currently have any induction ready tea kettles.

This item is made mostly of aluminum, including all of the exterior. Therefore, it will not work on an induction cooktop even though it has a thin stainless steel interior. Also, the bottom is actually raised above the burner surface, and thus this item will also not work with a convention smooth cooktop. It's really best suited to a gas cooktop.

I use it very successfully on my glass top stove...not sure what induction is.

I am sorry, but I will not be able to answer your question since I do not have an induction cooktop. I have natural gas in my kitchen. I remember reading somewhere that induction stoves must use iron pots, or have a magnetic disk at the bottom. Perhaps you could call Cuisinart and they would tell you for sure.

I don't have any experience with induction cook tops, but if you can boil water in a small sauce pan this will work. I use one on a large commercial stove, the one I gave my brother he uses on a hot plate and my son uses his on a small gas range. A simple explanation would be that you need to control the heat source so that you are only heating the bottom of the espresso maker.

I have not used cast iron on the two burner cooktop I have, but it should hold up as long as you don't use a huge, heavy one. And as long as a magnet will stick to the pan used, it will work on induction cooktops. I have used large stainless steel soup kettles, full of soup, with no problem.

I don't have an induction stove top, but to help answer your question, it does not have a magnetic base so I don't think this will work on an induction stove.

Hello Zoe, It is cast iron and should work well. I am installing my induction cooktop next week and will try it to make sure. I have used my Lodge griddle for several years with my Viking gas range top and hopeful it will work without a hiccup on the induction as well. You should be careful to only lift to place on your cooktop as cast iron can be rough enough to scratch.

I'm not sure what you mean by induction cooktop. However, I can tell you that we have an electric stove and the Mr. Bar-B-Que Iron wok works great on top of it. With just a little olive oil - our veggies and meat cook to perfection with this product. Hope this helps a little.

Sorry, I used it on electric and gas burners only but I see no problem with induction. Good cooking.

Yes and no. I used this kettle happily on my old induction range for years and it worked great. I moved and got a new induction cooktop (different model), and the kettle didn't work well on it. I agree with the other answerer who points to the ridge on the underside as the culprit. The bottom does sit flat, but the circular ridge interrupts the continuity of the bottom surface. So, you take your chances with this one.

Yes, the pamphlet that came with it states, "Use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always lift cookware to move." Hope that helps.

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

We've used it on a gas and electric stove but don't have an induction stove so couldn't tell you...

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

Hello Vickie,Thank you for your inquiry. No that will not work on an induction stovetop. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

Hi Mark, yes, it works on induction cooktops (I have one), but it of course won't work as well as if you had a gas stove instead. You can still make great stir-fries and other dishes with it though! Despite having an induction cooktop (I really miss having a gas one), I'm really happy with my wok and happy that I purchased it. So I definitely highly recommend buying it! Plus, the business owners are really nice too! When I had questions about mine, I emailed them. They were so kind and helpful! :)
