Can this be used on an induction cooktop? I am remodeling and at the present time this is all I have to cook on. My regular cookware doesn't work.

It's cast iron and all my cast iron works on an induction cooktop. Rule of thumb for Induction Cooktops--if a magnet sticks to it....IT WILL WORK ON INDUCTION COOKTOPS. Hope this helped!

As far as I know it can be used on any cooking surface on which any other pan can be used. I have used it on electric and gas stoves as well as my Weber grill. Hope this helps.

This cast Iron Pan is magnetic and it should work on an Induction cooktop. But I am not really sure that it works properly.

I had no idea so I cheated and went to Wikipedia. According to the article and explanation, yes it will work. "Cast iron pans and any black metal or iron pans will work on an induction cooking surface. Stainless steel pans will work on an induction cooking surface if the base of the pan is a magnetic grade of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks well to the sole of the pan, it will work on an induction cooking surface." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

I don't personally have an induction cooktop, so I can't say how well this pot would work with one. However, according to the literature, it is induction cooking ready with a built-in iron disc on the bottom. I can confirm the presence of a nicely flat, heavy disc on the bottom of the pot.

I do not have an induction burner, but I think the test to see if the cookware will work on induction is to check and see if a magnet sticks to the bottom. So I tried that, and the magnet did NOT stick to the bottom. It was a pretty strong magnet. So I assume it won't work on induction. That is all I know. Hope this helps.....Pat Woods

Boy, I don't know anything about induction cooktops. I think you should contact the company that makes these skillets and ask them. So sorry I couldn't be of help.

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.

This poacher is full cladded stainless steel on the bottom. I really don't have any experience with induction cooktops. It should work unless your top requires special pots. This is a high grade pot, but I only cook with gas. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I personally have not used it on induction stove tops. It seems that it gets mixed results with induction applications. I would suggest returning it to amazon for a refund as that is more practical than changing your stovetop.

Yes, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

No, induction cookware only works with iron cookware...and maybe some stainless steel. I purchased several pieces of ceramic coated iron cookware to use with my induction cooktop.

Yes. Induction cooktop is just a flat burner instead of elevated stove eyes. As long as it produces heat then it should work correctly. Although heating/cooking times may vary so keep that in mind.

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 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 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.

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.

Yes, it can be used on an induction cooktop. I just checked and a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pot, which means it works with induction cooking.

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.
