Will this pot work with an induction plate?

It should work just fine with an induction plate, however it will certainly take much longer to establish a rolling boil. Using it over a direct flame source will be much more efficient for the volume of liquid that can be put in it.

Stainless steel normally won't work on induction plate since it has no iron bottom core.

I don't know. I don't cook with induction. I wouldn't think so, based on the other pots I've used that are hybrid.

Sure, Donna. You just have to get the water boiling! It holds a magnet, so induction cooking devices should work, also.

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.

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.

No, it can't. I read "stainless steel" in the description and mistakenly assumed both pots were stainless and bought it. If I had seen it in a store I would have read the, "Suitable for all heat sources except induction" on the packaging. Just in case, I put a magnet to the base of the bottom pot and then confirmed it would not stick.

Yes it can. There is a ferrous plate on the bottom that works with induction cooking. I like it and it performs very well, and I would buy another when the need arises.

I don't believe so. The pot is aluminum which doesn't work with induction heating. Induction cook tops need a ferrous metal like stainless steel.

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

If the pot base is flat it will sit "flat" on the glass top. Induction heating effectiveness will depend on the conductivity of the pot base material.

I don't have an induction cooktop but I looked it up for you. Yes, you can use this pot with an induction stovetop. The pot material is actually anodized steel.

This is a stainless steel pot and therefor should work on an induction cooktop.

I have an electric stove. I do not have experience with induction surfaces. The bottom of the pot is perfectly flat without a design if that helps you make a decision. I've enjoyed my pot for making pasta sauces and soups.

This looks like the pot I purchased. Yes it works on an induction stove. That is the type of stove I have.

I don't have an induction cooktop so I can't be sure. But from what I've read a pot will work if a magnet will cling to the bottom. On the pot I purchased a magnet will cling to the bottom. If a magnet will cling to the pot you have now, the one that won't work on the cooktop, then probably the new pot won't work either. But if your pot is not magnetic, then I say the new pot should work.

I have not yet tested this...however, the pot is stainless steel which should work on a induction surface. As long as the steel is of magnetic grade. I can go and see later if a magnet will stick to the pot's bottom. If it doesn't work though, you can also purchase a interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces. My guess however, is that it would work.

Theoretically speaking, not really, since it's cast aluminum, which is not magnetic. The magnetic field generated by the induction cooker will travel too far in aluminum and also result in very little resistance, which is needed to generate heat. However, I have never tried it on an induction stove. If there's a thin layer of iron or steel imbedded in the pot, then it will work well, otherwise you'll be wasting your electricity.
