My new Viking induction unit, a portable, does not recognize this pot, ie does not couple with it through induction (tho the Viking does recognize an iron frying pan, and does work with it), despite Amazon’s recommendation. A magnet does not adhere to its surface, the acid test for an ‘induction ready’ pot. Moreover, it is so flimsy and light that I was surprised it was not transparent.
In short: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It is, essentially, worthless.

I received this item yesterday and am really disappointed. First of all, it is so flimsy that I can easily bend it in half with my hands. Second, it would not work on my induction cooktop.
I would not recommend this to anyone.

I can’t believe this is really a Sunpentown brand. I have one of their induction cooktops so I looked for their brand of pot to be sure it would work. It was the flimsiest pan I have ever seen. However, I didn’t worry becasue I remembered a rating that said that they were worried when they got it but that it worked like a dream. However, this thing sucked! It was impossible to cook without everything, including the pan, burning… It was either not cooking on Med or burning on Med High. Big waste of $$$ and time. Not enough money to warrant trying to return but don’t waste your time or money.

This pan is very lightweight and works well on an induction burner for things like boiling pasta or perhaps veggies or simmering light liquids. Its bowled sides and raised logo in the bottom wouldn’t work well for things that need to be scooped away from the sides or bottom of the pan with a spatula, as you might with sauces, thick concoctions or when sautéing veggies to start a soup. I cringe to think about trying to get burned stuff off the bottom with that raised logo’s nooks and crannies, but for boiling things, it works great. The vented clear cover is a nice feature.
