I worked at Home Depot in the Appliance Dept for 10 years. Every time someone wanted to buy induction cooktops I sent them home to check if a magnet was attracted to the bottom of their cookware. In almost every case even the most expensive pots and pans did not have enough ferrous iron content to work. If a manufacturer would produce a hybrid range or cooktop that would help since a person's favorite pot or pan could still be used. Induction is more efficient than gas or electric since only the cookware is heated.
