I have an induction cooktop as well, and it still works on it. The heat should still spread throughout the whole pan just fine. I'm not sure how you would turn or flip the takoyaki if you were cooking it inside the oven.

I use it on my GE radiant cooktop which is different from an induction. I went to a GE site where it said the pan would need to have some iron in the bottom to work on an induction cooktop. This pan will not let a magnet stick to it (the test for iron content). http://www.geappliances.com/products/introductions/induction_cooktops/how.htm

Cast iron works well if bottom is absolutely flat. I see a number of cookware advertised to be induction . I purchased the Nuwave cookware. I knew someone who was cooking with it and was thrilled with it. It's the best cookware I have ever had. I didn't purchase other brand cookware peices to try.

Yes. I work with an induction and have hot pot at the table. It works great. Actually, I have never used it with any other cook top but I assume it will work as good as with Induction. Thanks

Hi Lynda, unfortunately this Woll pan is not magnetic and can't be used for induction ovens. I read online some stainless steel pans or cast iron pots can be used, as long as the bottom is magnetic. Klaus

I need that information about being used for induction cooktops. In store shopping, I have to use a magnet to see if the magnet sticks to bottom. Cast iron works, the Cuisinart ten-pc. step (Amazon.com) stated in write up that it was for induction cooktops. I don't want to order items from Amazon.com and find out after the fact that they aren't for induction cooktops. I am looking for a tea pot for my cooktop now. Just would be extremely helpful if advertisers would say in their write-ups it the product is for induction cooktop. My house burned down this past summer and we are rebuilding and I am getting the induction cooktop and double ovens, one of which is convection. So, I will be learning how to cook with them, and with the added problem of what pans work on them is a challenge. Thanks, Suzanne Martin, Amazon.com customer

I use this wok on my induction cooktop, and it works perfectly. Since cast iron cookware tends to be thicker than most other types of cookware it allows for better even heating.

I would not use cast iron on a ceramic cooktop. Use it in the oven instead. You might contact the cooktop manufacturer for guidance on whether you could use this simmer mat on the ceramic surface. I don't know if there is another product that will allow cast iron use on your cooktop.

NO, I just called Orgreenic, Telebrands, because I have an induction cooktop and they said it is not for use with induction cooking.

I have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success. My thinking is, the contact area is too small to transfer the "induction" function of the stove. I have the NuWave table too model. My take a way lesson, maximum contact required for best function of induction stove. Glad you enquired about it. Now I need to try it on my cook top. Its my observation induction requires really flat surface cookware to be effective. Lodge has reengineered their pans to be more responsive to induction stoves. If I get a chance I will test them too.

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.

I use a 12 inch iron skillet with no problems. There seems to be even heating all across the bottom of the pan and food cooks evenly. Love this induction burner!

Yes, just avoid sliding it around like most people do with there pans, it may have some negative affects on the the induction cook top as well as any other cook top, as well as your skillet/pan. This is not the type of skillet/pan you want to move back and forth while cooking, other than to turning it occasionally. I have used these for for may years and have not had to replace them, not once. If you take care of your Circulon, longer than you'd expect. What I have now, I've had for about 5 years, they still look, just as good as when I bought them.

I have a Tatung portable induction "hot plate." Those directions indicate that an iron frying pan, kettle or plate can be used as long as they have flat bottoms with the diameter being within the range indicated on the induction device. They also state that an enamel cooking utensil can be used, but they don't state enameled iron cookware. It would be best to check with Lodge. The enamel could be affected.Personally, I've only used stainless steel pots that indicate they will work with induction heat.

I use mine with induction and an electric stove. Carbon Steel pans work great with induction as do cast iron. I find that this pan heats pretty uneven on both induction and electric. Its probably best to slowly pre-heat the pan for 5-10 minutes before use.

I don't know how well they work on an induction oven, but it's my understanding that with induction, the pans have to be copper or stainless steel. If a magnet does not stick to your pans, they won't work. I tried a magnet on these pans and it stuck all over the bottom of the pan, not just in the middle, so I think they would work just fine.
