I have the set and use it on my induction cooktop....so yes it will work...assuming they have not changed anything. I am surprised that your stainless steel cookware did not work. I bought mine less than 6 months ago to augment my existing waterless cookware

I do not have an induction cooktop, so I cannot give you an answer. I use the cookware on gas. Sorry I cannot be helpful. I like the cookware a lot.

I have not tried it on induction cook top. Sorry to say. So far have used it on glass top stove only. Perhaps the mfg might be able to give you an answer. Enjoy your Spring and Summer.

I have not used my set on an induction cook top but bought it with thought I might replace my cook top in the future. According to the manufacturer this model is supposed to work on induction cook tops. All I can say is that I love the cookware. I never have to use it above medium, medium-high heat at most. Nothing sticks to it or burns. The food cooks evenly throughout. Cleanup is a breeze. I was so impressed with the performance that I bought a second set for a house warming present for my son. Make sure the set you buy has the metal lids. The glass topped set is not meant for induction. Hope this helps.

They sure are, and work very well. The only issue I have is that they "squeal". I have a GE Profile induction cooktop, but that really shouldn't make any difference. I can hear the cookware, it's like a high pitched buzz, or squeal. It's not really that loud or obnoxious, but it is strange the first time you hear it! The pans are super durable, the non-stick is holding up well, and they heat evenly and quickly. A great deal in my opinion!

I think the manufacturer warns against heatinhg them up too hot. I don't use high heat with this pot on my induction stovetop. I also didn't use high heat on my ceramic electric cooktop.

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

As far as I know they are, is your glass top range the Induction type that only heat up when you place a unit on the stove, if it is just remember to experiment with the heat settings, as these pans use a lot less heat to cook with

yes, that how i use, top of the stove to cook, then place in oven to finish. best cookware I have had at a fantastic price. to check if induction compliant, use a magnet on the bottom, if it sticks, its induction capable.

Yes, they work great on induction. I use them on induction everyday. May have to do some experimenting to figure out the best heat to use. In general, low heat is key.

It is sold on the theinductionsite.com, which has a wealth of information about induction cooking, so I'd venture to say that, yes, it will work in induction stove tops. Cast iron is ideal for induction cooking as having a high ferrous content, it does well with the electromagnetism that creates the source of heat with the vessel being used for cooking.

I do not have an induction cook top. This was a gift for our son in law. He has a gas stove top and absolutely Loves the pot.

I have an induction cooktop burner but have not used it with it but we still use this wok all the time. Induction heating should work great with cast iron, since induction heating requires a magnetic material (iron and magnetic grades of steel). However, it is so heavy and the bottom surface roughened so I would think that you would need to be careful moving it on the cooktop surface to prevent possible scratching.

Yes these pots and pans work on induction cooktops. They clean up nicely and they look great. Good value for the price.

I believe these DO NOT work with induction. Induction cooktops use a magnetic field to heat the metal in the pans. Since these are made of aluminum they won't be affected by the magnetic field.

Sorry, I have a gas stove. I really don't know anything about induction stoves. Hope you can find someone to help you.

I have not tried it on an induction stove as I have not used one of those yet, but reading about those stoves I found these as a short form of guide for whether some cooking device will work with it: "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface." (on Wikipedia) and "Your cast-iron skillet is a sure bet, and much of your stainless steel should work fine, too. If you aren't sure if your cookware will work, simply hold a magnet to the bottom of it. If it sticks, you're in business." - I quickly double-checked the pan with a magnet, and it definitely stuck to it. So yes, it should work on induction stoves.
