Stainless Steel won’t work on my Induction Hob Azz and now I seem to have a surplus of pans that are only useful for mixing paint…
However, I bought some ferrous ones and the Induction Hob is the way to go and so easy to clean after a fry up…
All systems ready for Sunday Lunch…
What is classified as a lifetime? actually means nothing if you think about it. A life could only be a couple of days or 90 years. Now if they stated the item was Guaranteed from the date of purchase say of 15 years would be better. Proof of date of purchase would be sufficient to demand a replacement. Even then it would have to have an individual ID stamp on it
Too many people get caught out by an unsubstantiated statement, so don’t get fooled by it
That looks like a lovely pan.
I recently bought a cast iron one, it does stick a bit, and almost breaks your wrist lifting it.
I thought it was non-magnetic materials that do not work wih induction hobs. And the process of adding chromium to steel to make it stainless does not affect the steel’s magnetic properties. Although some mixes of alloy in stainless steel can reduce its magnetism…
Cast iron is terrific for ramping up and holding the temperature, sears steak beautifully! 
Thanks Ann!
I’m not that good tbh, I have a few dishes that I am make pretty well tho… like Spag Bol 
Stainless steel should work on an induction hob Bob - the Zwilling pan says it does

Ah nice one Helen! Cast iron is great, but like you said quite heavy Carbon Steel are a little lighter and with many of the same benefits (they actually contain more iron than cast iron)
Same - thought Stainless Steel were generally ‘the best’ for induction hobs.
Cast iron/carbon steel definitely the best for steaks Chilli! 
I keep seeing ads for a titanium pan that claims the same thing about eggs sliding out
Give it a try and let us know what it’s like Annie
While titanium may be safer (no chromium or nickel) I think the challenge might be finding pans that are actually titanium - if you buy from a reputable company/brand, it could be a decent option, if not, it could be a risk…
I got the cast iron after learning how hazardous Teflon coated pans are.
I binned the Teflon ones but they were easier to cook with.
Azz I didn’t buy it just keep seeing ads for it. I’m not into frying very often but I have several ceramic coated frying pans that I use for eggs or cooking the dog’s special pancreatic diet food. The ceramic coated ones seem ok.
Blimey!
Dipping yer soldiers, not a phrase you tend to hear very often these days 
It might be for a couple of reasons, stainless steel can be non magnetic but also it is a poor conductor of heat so stainless steel pans have copper or aluminium bases (depends on how much you pay). That may stop them being used with induction hobs (I don’t know, never had one)
If you have ever welded stainless steel, flows beautifully but distorts because of the lack of heat transfer, it is also a bugger to drill.
Stainless Steel is largely non-magnetic or only slightly magnetic, as Bruce points out, Stainless Steel is a poor conductor of magnetism and as such can provide problems or not work at all while being used on an Induction Hob. We had a number of Stainless Steel pans for use on the gas hob that won’t work on the Induction Hob. If it says on the packaging that a stainless pan will work on an induction hob it is usually because there are other metals attached to the stainless.
When choosing pans for the induction hob I carry a small magnet, if it sticks to the pan, it will be suitable, if not, it won’t work. Induction hobs work by magic and magnetism and you can put your hand (or any non-magnetic material) directly on the hob and it won’t even turn on.
I used to turn and mill components made from food grade Stainless Steel, it took a very special technique and very hard tools to machine it.
Should taste okay though… 
It did!
Heaven forbid that I should have another 
You have issues with my presentation? 
The kitchen is shut…
Just a few… 
Well get you!
I’ll just stick with the Angel Delight
