Induction Cooking

My cookware has no symbols on them at all. They are only stamped with Emeril on the handle. It is a very nice cookware set. They have no non stick coatings on them, but nothing sticks and very easy clean up. A thick and solid bottom so I get good even heating. I guess no induction cooking in my near future.

Good info at that link. Apparently, you can use an "interface plate" between your pan and the cooktop that will allow for the use of pans with insufficient electrical resistance.

Sez Hoo, You are correct. If a magnet doesn't stick to the bottom it will not work on an induction burner. I took a magnet with me when shopping for cookware. Some cookware does have the symbol on the bottom but cast iron does not and it works great on induction.

Are you sure that copper clad core will work ???? . . :h

Bumpy's right too, magic symbol, pan should have some waves / circles stamped in it

I thought that the proper cookware for these had some "magic" symbol on them.
