Avida stuff

Vik, We have been using an induction cooktop in our house for over 20 years now ( a Taiwanese "Cookpower") and It's still working fine. As long as a fridge magnet will stick to your pots and pans they are OK. While the flash copper-bottom stuff had to go, we have been able to keep using our old cast iron frypans etc. The early s/s induction cookware was an eye-watering price but I think they may be a bit more reasonable now. Just take a small magnet with you to instantly check the suitability of things in op-shops if you don't want to buy new.

Yea Ray...
Heard this...??? " Unfortunately they didn’t work on the cooktop... had to buy complete new s/s set. "

So I would presume mild steel is OK

Eggs and bacon in da morgen, thats about it, all meats will be chared on charcoal...!!! in da heavning...!!!

I believe there is a heating plate you can drop into any saucepan that makes it induction compatible. I haven't actually bought one to try it out so only going on hear-say, anyone had hands on experience with these things?

Plenty on echo bay, so you would have to surmise it works.......

Vik,
As far as I know, all our new pots are either mild steel or stainless. Both types work on our induction cooktop.
I tried our cast iron griddle (from m/h gear)on it recently. Worked a treat. Unfortunately, I ratcheted up the power a bit too far, and it has left a shadow on the shiny glass surface. Gradually disappearing, but worth taking note: if you use cast iron, cook slowly... they hold a lot of heat!
And don't use abrasives to clean them. Dish detergent and a cloth/paper towel is plenty good enough. Wipe dry with a soft cloth, and they look brand-new for ages. Ours is now 3yo, and ( apart from my cast iron misadventure) still looks as-new.

Loved my cast iron Ray, now I cant lift the bloody things, bought a whole heap of Lodge cast from hazzascrazza when they were on special...
Treat em right and they will out last you...!!!

Now the mild steel ones are the same as in how to care for them, I have a nice patina now, keepin that in shape, sihts all over the "Non Stick" scan pan rubbish i bought yonks ago...
