All Clad 3-qt. sauté (although this one does not have the non-stick coating).

Linda,

Scanpan is your best bet, I think.

So, my review of my new Vollrath pan got kind of long, so it ended up being a blog post: http://www.fuzzychef.org/vollrath-nonstick-pan/

Great review, nice omelet too. Makes me wish I needed a new pan. My old Cuisinart Hard Anodized is still going strong.

I have no non stick left....but will need to carry a magnet with me to find one that will work on the induction. I miss my 9 inch non stick.

Ilene,

Is there any such thing as a nonstick pan that works with induction? I guess there could be steel cladding on the bottom. Those are liable to be expensive pans, though.

Swiss Diamond makes induction capable versions of some of their pans. They are awesome, but $$$. Henckles makes one too, but I'm not keen on it (it's not that nonstick). I also found some Jamie Oliver ones but they are slow.

Yeah, slow. They are cast aluminum with a metal base, and take forever to heat up. Boiling water in the saucepans is way longer for the same volume of water as my All Clad stainless ones (90s vs >4 minutes for 4 cups), and the frypan takes preheating. In contrast, my stainless pans cannot be left to preheat or they overheat and instantly burn any fat you add. I suspect the mental base is really thin. They eliminate all benefits of the induction burner. They are made by T-fal. The Swiss Diamond and Henkles ones are much better, but only the Swiss Diamond nonstick is actually nonstick. The Henkles has a ceramic-ish finish and sticks.

We have two (a Farberware 12" and a Calphalon 10") stainless pans with nonstick that work fine on our induction hob. I got them inexpensively ($20-30) at Target or Walmart. The Calphalon is starting to chip a bit so its time to replace it.

The hob came with a magnet to use when shopping for induction-capable pans. I usually just visit the kitchen magnet display before heading to the cookware department.

EDIT: Google has some induction-ready Vollrath nonstick pans in the $50-60 range. Here's one: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/vollrat ... 69110.html
