Does this pan work with induction?

Though I have not attempted to use this on an induction range, there is no reason that it should work. Induction cooking relies on the pan/pot being made of a ferrous (containing iron) material. The Calphalon UNISON line is made of aluminum, which is not a ferrous metal. Cast iron, stainless steel, etc. will be your best bets. There are special "induction discs" that you can use if you need to use something non-ferrous, but they are essentially just acting as heating elements and not giving you any of the benefits of inductive cooking.

Yes it is. It must have a steel bottom to be used on the induction system. I have that pan. The only problem with it is the flatness of the bottom. Check it with a straight edge to see if it is flat. I ended up standing on mine to get it more perfect, but it works great now.

Yes, it will. I have two fo the pans and they both work perfectly on my induction cooktop.

Other commenter is correct. I tested with a magnet also and it did not stick, therefore this pot will not work with induction.

I'm not sure on either of those questions, but it sure looks like it would work with induction. I bought this (versus the other kind) because I know I'll be changing to induction soon and wanted it to work when I do get a new stove.

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."

I do not have induction myself/ wish I did! / but from my understanding, this WILL NOT WORK since induction require ferrous content = iron...the test is if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan--it will not...actually tried it,,hope this helps

If induction works with cast iron, I don't see why not. Outside bottom of the pan is flat, which means it would have full contact with the stove.

I have an induction cooktop. The pan works just fine. The pan has a built in steel disk. --It is a very nice pan, you will like it.

although I don't use the pan on induction cooktop, I believe it would as it is made of carbon steel.

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.

Sorry Vickie, I have no idea. I quit using the pan when I found out how warped the bottom was. I have one of those flat top stoves, (forgot the official term), and one half of the pan would hardly heat. Unless you get one that has a completely flat bottom I would say "no" to the induction question.

this pan will not work on an induction stove. you need to use a ferromagnetic metal like cast iron or stainless steel.

I called Cuisinart, they told me it was induction compatible. Unfortunately it definitely is not. Very nice pan in any case. If a magnet will stick to the bottom of a pan, it will identify induction ready cookware.

I do not know if it would work with induction, but I would never buy this brand again as the largest pot split at the bottom and was very sharp and I consider that very dangerous for anyone to have , let alone a family with children.

Induction cooking is supposed to work with Stainless steel. I have not, however, confirmed it with this pot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

No - I have one of these pans, not purchased through Amazon but at Bed, Bath & Beyond... same brand though. I really like mine, but a magnet will not cling to the bottom of the pan so no, they wouldn't work on an induction cooktop.
