I wouldn't consider my experiences as worthy - you might try the cooking forum.

I had an induction plate during the temp kitchen phase (went on for 7-8 months). All of my tri-ply calphalon didn't work-but it was not very new. I had a piece of calphalon everyday that did work.

Do you have a Costco nearby? They have a set that looks very heavy duty and a decent price. I have to get new pots too for my induction cooktop. I'm interested to hear what you end up with. Good luck.

I have the Costco Kirkland set, which works well on induction. I also bought several other pots at Home Goods, German makes (Behndes and something else which I forget), which actually work faster and quieter than the Kirkland set. And, of course, there's Le Creuset and other cast iron pots and pans.

I have Sitram Profisserie line (not the Catering). They work perfectly on induction, and there is no noise. While not inexpensive, you will never need new pots again.

My tri-ply Calphalon did not work on my portable induction unit or my new induction range. I recommend LeCrueset tri-ply...better and cheaper than All-Clad.

Dancing cook, are your Costco Kirkland pans making noise? I'd heard that the cheaper pans made an annoying vibration sound. Would love to avoid that and get the right kind to start with. Hopping off to go and google the other stuff you mentioned.

Bmore and warmfridge, do your Calphalon tri-ply pieces have the induction symbol on the bottom. The ones I'm looking at do have the symbol. Could this be a new product line? About six months ago I looked at Calphalon's website and didn't see this line. The shapes and sizes of the induction capable shown now are exactly the same as the hard anodized that I used before induction. When I did that earlier search I was so disappointed that Calphalon didn't have anything on their website that said induction capable because I liked my old set so much. That's why I bought the $40 set and kept searching for something I would like. Incidentally, the Tools of the Trade set does buzz a lot but I don't find it too bothersome.

We like the Le Crueset Tri Ply. Purchased on line and works great on induction. It is a little cheaper then All Clad but in my opinion it is better made

I traded my induction-incompatible Calphalon tri-ply to my cabinet guy for some wine, so I can't check for a symbol. They were several years old (at least) so not a new line.

Try the incredibly low priced Tramontina tri-ply at Walmart. Seems as good as All Clad with a much more comfortable handle.

Do the Le Crueset tri-ply line have glass lids? I haven't seen this brand locally. Glass lids are one of my high priorities because I like to keep track of my simmering and when water is about to boil.

All the Tramontina I've seen at Tuesday Morning have that groove around the bottom that I don't like. Also, the pieces I've seen have a seam underneath the lip at the top. Both the groove and the seam worry me because I know they'll tend to catch all the drips and messes of cooking and then be harder to clean. DH is always helpful but not really the most finicky pot washer and I like to encourage him by keeping things simple for him. He absolutely would not remember to turn the cookware over all the time to make sure he got all the crevices clean.

Be careful with Tramontina. Some of it won't work on induction either. LeCreuset tri-ply has SS not glass lids.

Mine went to goodwill. The whole long-time-in-purgatory kitchen and the induction thing caused me to rethink through what I had vs. what I needed and I purged the unused.

flseadog, You haven't seen the tri ply Tramontina I'm writing about. It does have metal tops which we prefer. They weigh less than glass.

Caphalon DOES NOT WORK on my induction range. Wth in these pans that they don’t work? I’m buying cast iron.
