Any help is appreciated, john
I assume it is stainless steel. If it is ferromagnetic it will work;
if it isn't, it won't. The easiest way to find out is simply to test
it with a magnet. If it sticks, you're OK.

Thanks both of you for the answers.
a magnet does stick to it, but not strongly at all. and, there is
nothing on the bottom of the pot that helps.
I think I'll pass on the cooktop.
All the best,
john
