Why do you think that an All-Clad copper core braiser won't work on an
induction cooktop?

Induction will work fine with copper or aluminum core cookware so long as
there is sufficient ferrous stainless steel as well.

I can't imagine why someone would spend $300 on an All-clad copper core
braiser, but that's a separate issue. It'll work and it's your money. Good
stainless cookware with aluminum core for a fraction of that price would
likely work as well or better.
