While 100% Stainless Steel is not magnetic, many SS pots and pans are magnetic and work fine on an induction cook top. Do not go out and buy expensive Induction Pots before you try what you have... even SS ones.
The pot or the base of the pot must be a ferrous metal as is stainless steel. Aluminum for example will not work. However some manufacturers of aluminum cook ware are now using a ferrous metal base plate so that their product will work with an induction heat source. If I recall correctly I think I have seen a product created from ferrous metal that is in the form of a circular plate the size of the induction cooker "burner". The plate reacts to the induction (electromagnetic) process and heats up and then conducts the heat to a non ferrous pot. Similar to the ferrous metal base on a non ferrous metal pot. However I am not sure this is a good idea! The plate will be very hot and rather awkward to deal with. Perhaps a safety issue! Perhaps not good for the cooker as the plate remains on the unit unlike a pot which is removed when the cooking process is complete. It would be interesting to hear what the induction cooker manufacturers have to say about that concept.
