One of the drawbacks of having an induction range is that one's choice of pans are severely limited - if non-stick is what you want. I see a lot of pans that seem wonderful but they're not going to work. I'll probably go get another pan soon. The only non-stick pan that will work for me is at the Safeway down the street. That's so weird.

Every Circulon pan in the kit I mentioned above has "Induction Suitable" stamped on the bottom. (Doesn't matter to me since I have a gas cooktop, but maybe that's good news for some. I'm not a shill for the brand, just a satisfied user.)

Indeed they are induction ready pans. I'll be on the lookout for those. They seem kind of expensive. OTOH, it is a unique construction - a hard anodized aluminum pan with a steel jacketed slug on the bottom. I'll pick one up if the price is right. OTOH, most of the ones on eBay come from Australia. That seems odd. Will those even work in the Northern hemisphere?
