Is this pressure cooker induction cooktop compatible? (I'm supposed to look for the induction symbol.)

Yes, it is induction compatible (logo is on the bottom). I might also add that this is one of the "best" pressure cookers I've ever used. So many nice features (I know, sounds like I work for the company)and the pressure cooker construction would indicate that this should outlast most people. :) Wish you the best!

I do not know but I would NOT RECOMMEND it for anything -- I used it 5 or 6 times and LID DEVICES FELL APART!!!!!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!!!!

As JAYMIS indicates the induction logo is on the bottom. I can confirm that the base of the pressure cooker is ferromagnetic. This is a very good example of a pressure cooker. Ive owned several.

Yes it is compatible, and I like it very much. I used it for corned beef and cabbage and it was absolutely delicious. My brother and sister-in-law completely devoured it.

Yes it is. You can tell by holding a magnet on the bottom. If it sticks it is induction compatible

The pan is magnetic so from that perspective it will "work" with an induction cooker, however the bottom of the pan has ridges and a bow. I put the pan on my induction cooktop and it rocked back and forth, so contact is not optimal. I will be trying to use it this afternoon and will add to these comments then.

I have a electric cook top - looked at the paperwork that I kept just now. I can't find anything at all in reference to induction top. Sorry

I have no idea what an induction cooktop is, I have a gas range, I have always had a gas range. The set works fine on my range.

I have heard of an induction oven but i not have heard an induction cooktop, however this pressure cooker is very nice and comes to pressure very quickley. I have cooked chicken legs and thighs in it and the meat just fell off the bones. Due to its size it it is very easy to clean it is a high quality product.

I am sure that they will, but I don't know for sure. All that is going on with a pressure cooker is that the steam is used to cook. Since the induction cooker brings water to a boil and therefore produces steam, there should be no problem. Incidentally, the set is one of the best cooking products I have ever purchased.

While I have not used it myself on an induction cook top, the instructions that came with the pressure cooker indicate that it can be used on all cooking surfaces, including induction cook tops.

Pressure cookers need a LOT of heat. I suspect that the disk is not sufficient to get the bottom of your pressure cooker hot enough. The disk is a stopgap and sort of defeat the purpose and operation of an induction cooker. Remember that a pressure cooker is going to get the water considerably hotter than a pot cooking at stmospheric pressure and thus will need considerably more heat. I have never looked for an "induction" pressure cooker but I am sure they are available... though perhaps at a price. good luck.

Induction-compatible cookware contains ferromagnetic materials - in other words, it contains iron, or has a layer with magnetic properties. Cast iron, enamel cast iron and most types of stainless steel cookware are all induction compatible, but not all types. Aluminum, copper or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties. To tell if a pot or pan is induction-compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop. Also, many manufacturers have started putting an "induction compatible" symbol on the bottom of their cookware or they'll note compatibility on their packaging. The symbol often looks like a horizontal zig-zag or a coil.

Sorry to contradict some of the other answers but... yes... you can use it on an induction cooktop... but with these caveats: This is an aluminum cooker so you would have to put a steel or iron "cooking plate" under it, the induction coil heats up the steel/iron plate which then heats up the pressure cooker, we do this with a couple of nice aluminum pans that we like to use but don't work with induction. AND... be aware that this is one heavy mother of a cooker so you might need to test your induction cooktop to see if it will handle the weight...

i had to research what an induction cooktop is. this pot is stainless steel so it should ok to use.

I don't have an induction cooktop, but I understand that if a magnet will stick easily to the bottom of the pan that it is compatible. So I tried a magnet on my stainless steel Calphalon and it works perfectly. I also looked at the Calphalon site (http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1953) for information. Calphalon puts an induction symbol on the bottom of the pan if it is suitable. This pan does have the induction symbol on the bottom. Hope this helps. I really love my Calphalon. Image

Hey, sorry for couldn't reply sooner. Your induction cooktop should work for these pots. They are not very big, just about the same as Cuisinart & T-Fal you find at Walmart. They come in EXCELLENT quality and there's a 30 years manufacturer warranty card in the box, I'm telling ya! If you compare this with T-Fal, it's like comparing Toyota with Jeep, if you know what I mean........

The pan has to be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pan it will probably work. Pure aluminum and pure stainless steel pans will not work. Most pans that will work on induction cookers will have "induction suitable" stamped on them somewhere. I bought a Circulon Symmetry pan and it works great. Here's a link for Amazon's Circulon line...

I'm sorry I do not know, the only pressure cooker I have is the Instant Pot.

Yes, that is the exact pressure cooker I bought it for. It may seem that the gasket is too big but if you just keep working it in, it will fit.
