But it WILL NOT.
If you take a magnet to the bottom of the pot (the way one checks if cookware is induction-compatible) it DOES NOT STICK to the bottom of the multipot.
Thus, this pot is useless for induction owners.

After serious considerations, I decided to purchase Fagor. This is a good quality multipot and served my purpose well. It heats up fast and feels solid. The missing star is due to the design of the lid handle, as previously reviewed by another user. It does get hot and could slip. But I can work around it. After all, it's a good product for its price.Best Deals for Fagor 4-Piece 8-Quart Multipot
It appears that the pasta insert is deep enough to be covered with approximately 4-quarts of water. That is plenty for a large family pasta feast. The reason I rated this 4-stars rather than 5 is that I normally cook thin spaghetti and where I would prefer a 2" solid band around the bottom of the pasta insert (to butt the dry pasta against), there are more draining holes. This means some of the pasta will try to escape through the draining holes, especially if you follow the Fagor cooking directions and place the insert already loaded with dry pasta into the boiling water.This Chinese manufactured pan was deeply embossed on the underside and indicated the pan may be used for induction cooking. At $21.95, I am going to order several more as (super economy sized) stocking stuffers! :o)
Honest reviews on Fagor 4-Piece 8-Quart Multipot
I got the pots a couple days ago. They look fine. I used it last night to steam asparagus and that was fine except the glass lid has a tiny steel grommet of a hole for steam relief. With the lid fully on the excess steam escapes via that hole which is too small for the size of the pot and steam created and as a result tends to spray water droplets all over your stove top unless you crack the glass lid open slightly. Other than that it is pretty good stuff.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Fagor 4-Piece 8-Quart Multipot
When I purchased this pot, I typed "induction cookware" into the search box. This Fagor, as well as several other much more expensive products, came up. The description said it was suitable for all types of cooktops. None of the reviews said it did not work on an induction cooktop, and I knew Fagor markets residential induction burners, so I thought I was safe. WRONG! When it arrived I removed it from its very beat-up looking box and immediately tested it with a magnet. The magnet didn't stick at all. Still hopeful, I put an inch of water into it, put it onto my induction burner and turned it on. I got the error message and the burner shut off. Obviously it does not contain the requisite iron content. I packed it up and sent it back. (Amazon gave me a full refund including free return shipping.) Then I went to (must I admit it?) Walmart and bought their stainless stockpot, which works just fine for induction cooking.
