Both Allclad and Cuisinart make induction friendly cookware. I have an induction cooktop and found those reliable brands. They have basic nonstick.

I suspect you will have trouble finding a stainless steel percolator. Those who use percolators are such a rare breed that I haven't seen one in years. As I recall the ones from my childhood that went on the stove were aluminum because it was lightweight. Get the cheap lightweight one for a campfire.

The "new fangled" ones make much better coffee than the old percolator styles. Why not get one of those. I don't know anyone using a percolator - I mean French press; cheap Mr. Coffee to elaborate espresso machines that rival the best of a skilled barista - but I haven't seen a stove top percolator in years. The closest I have come is my deliberately Luddite friend who has a small stove top esspresso maker.

I don’t drink coffee so I am no help there. I love my scan pan CS+ from Sur La Table. They are pricey but nothing sticks. My daughter has had their non induction skillet for two years and it looks new and she and her huisband are very hard on cookware . Folks on this forum also like IKEA induction non stick and they are very reasonably priced.

Farberware makes stove top stainless percolators.

I’m happy with Green Pan Premiere non stick skillets from Williams Sonoma.

I just purchased a scan pan skillet based on what I read here. It just arrived this week so I haven't cooked with it yet. I also considered the IKEA pan, and I may pick one of those up the next time I'm at IKEA (I place I really try to avoid going, so it won't be any time soon, hopefully!)

@Helen, there are a lot more SS percolator options available than you might expect! The problem is not all SS works on induction. Plus some of them even though the SS used might work on induction, the bottom is rimmed/recessed so it doesn’t make contact with the stove. I actually have a nice espresso machine and coffee maker, but I need a percolator for camping. I’m hoping to find one that can multitask for boiling water for other hot drinks on my induction stove. As for the fry pan, my old cookware is cuisenart. I loved it, but only some of the pieces work with my stove even though they were a set.

@Kim G, and @sholt576, thanks ! I’ll look at the scan pan!

@clt3, the Faberware percolator is the one with mixed reviews (1/2 said it worked on induction and 1/2 said it didnt!) Faberware website says it is not induction friendly, so I’m still looking.

@Anne Duke, I’ll look at the green pan too!

I love my scan pan! i use it many times a week. . it’s my most used pan since I purchased it eight years ago!

Contacting the surface isn't part of the induction process. A magnetic field is created. I guess you've got to try it.

Get yourself one of these. It takes away most of the advantages of induction, however you can use any type pan you like. Simply place this on the hob and place the percolator on top of it. In this way you can use any percolator you desire. As for non stick fry pan, I like the Green Pan. Hope this helps.

A lot of stainless pots WILL NOT WORK on induction.

The things that do work are usually tri-ply or greater stainless. These are the things I've found that sell at a lesser price than the most expensive lines.

Cuisinart does some lovely tri-ply with non-stick coatings that work with induction. It's called Multiclad Pro - it looks like stainless cause it is, but is induction capable. It's thick and has that deep, even heat across the entire surface.

Slightly less expensive, but a fine frying pan is ninja foodie neverstick premium. It's pretty good in performance. Thick aluminum with an induction plate imbedded in the bottom. The plate is the entire bottom. Your choice of exterior - either stainless or hand anodized aluminum with a coating on the outside so it can go in the dw. Also has that deep, even heat across the entire surface.

At about the same price point, Tramontina has tri-ply pans but not so much with non-stick. The ones called Tramontina Professional in their commercial line, you have your choice of "regular" non-stick or ceramic non-stick. Get the ones that have stainless steel exteriors. The current crop of dw detergents will discolor aluminum. I have never tried these pans.

Enameled Cast Iron is always good with Induction. It's cousin - enameled carbon steel works too.

For the coffee pot, I would try places that sold camping gear and bring a magnet. If the magnet sticks to it well, you'll be fine. Other than that, you could try a cast iron simmer plate on the induction - place the coffee pot on it.

Or just get a traditional electric percolator for home. You're not talking about much money, so I'm guessing we share a trait - stubbornness!

Another vote for Green Pan.

We've had induction for many years and usually bought our pans from HomeGoods. We found that pan designs really varied--some would have these small circles and interspersed would be the solid surface and it was only the solid part that was magnetic (I learned to carry a small magnet in the early days before induction compatibility was labeled).

We've switched to Made In cookware and are very happy with it.

@dan1888, I realize induction uses a magnetic field so technically touching the surface might not be part of the induction process, but I thought--as a safety feature--most induction stoves have a sensor to detect pots/pans and if only a small rim is touching I don't think it will be enough to recognize it as a pan/pot.

@bmorepanic, thank you for the recommendations! I like the price point on the Ninja Foodie Neverstick. I might try it for now. I'm not opposed to spending the money on the Scanpan, but I'd like to see it in person first. Unfortunately, I'll have to drive 2-3 hours to see one, so it will be a while before I do that. As for the percolator, the local camping stores don't carry any in the store, so I can't do the magnet test. I don't need an electric percolator. I have a very nice Gaggia Espresso Machine and my husband has a nice Breville Grind Control. (Wow, just realized how much $ we have invested in our morning joe!) I just need the percolator for camping/lake. I also need a kettle for the house since my old one doesn't work on induction. I was just hoping to find one item to serve both purposes. We have a huge pantry that is full of all kinds of kitchen gadgets, but I can never find what I need when I need it! When I buy new, I'm trying to buy things that will serve multiple purposes so I can get rid of some of the clutter. I want one item to use for coffee when I'm camping, but will also heat water, tea, apple cider, wassail, etc on my induction stove. I know I'm asking for a lot! So, yeah, I guess I'm a little stubborn too!! LOL!

Many magnetic pan bottoms aren't perfectly flat or stay flat perfectly as they heat up or cool down. It would need to be tested. But I'm doubting a touch sensor is part of the power to pan interface. Not logical. It would falsely compromise the perceived reliability of the product. And in your case it makes finding a solution more difficult. Testing.

If you're looking for a kettle, I know this one works because I have it. kettle

Are you talking about the stovetop espresso type coffee makers? if so, my husband uses one every day for his coffee and has successfully used them on several induction cooktops. I believe his favorite is a Bialetti, and he has bought them from ikea and also no name brand from Walgreens. Never had a problem with induction. His are smaller so i cant recommend one specifically for the large size you want.

@clt3, thanks! if I can’t find a percolator that can multi-task, I’ll look at the tea kettle!

@H202, i think the espresso ones are different from the percolaor, but I’ll give the Bialetti a look. I appreciate the help!

Don't forget about a seasoned raw cast iron pan for your fried eggs. Forever durable non stick with simple reseasonimg if you happen to overwash the seasoning off. Never have to throw out a worn out or scratched non stick pan again. Preheat with low to medium heat on the induction, I have recently started to use my smaller iron fry pan for eggs and been amazed at how it performs and cleans up, a Griswold Hearthstone from the eighties but Staub makes some beautiful enamelled cast iron if you prefer that look in colours.

Venmar, yes! I love my #8 Griswold cast iron pan for scrambled eggs. I love the little #3 for two fried eggs -- perfect for making a fried egg breakfast sandwich.

I have a Farberware percolator that works on induction though it's slower to heat up than my other cookware. I use it for making spiced apple cider. I had All Clad and Le Creuset before I got induction but also bought a few additional Duxtop pans to replace the extra Revereware pots I had. They're great and they do make non-stick though that is not what I have since I have an All Clad non-stick that meets my needs.

@venmar, a few years ago I inherited some small iron skillets from a great-Aunt, but I never thought to use them for eggs! I'm going to get one out and try it! Thanks for the idea!

@3katz4me, good to know the Farberware one works on your induction top. I might give it a try. Worst case, I'll have to repackage/return it.

Becky, read up on how to season them first. It's easy. But if you don't season them first, you'll think we are stark raving bonkers for recommending cast iron for eggs!

@kevinande, I was trying to avoid one of those plates. I don’t need it for my existing cookware. I want to get all induction friendly when I buy new things. Of course, I might not have any other option when I purchase specialty items like a percolator.

After doing some research, I bought an Ozeri nonstick pan a few months ago for my induction burner. It's been fantastic so far.

Calphalon Tri-Ply 10" frying pan leans towards non-stick performance but are not coated... however the GreenPans are fabulous and you can transfer them into the oven, say for a Fritata.

I've been using carbon steel Merten and Storck to fry eggs--seems to work pretty well, better than cast iron, but not as carefree as non-stick. The key is that you have to oil and leave the egg down long enough so it releases easily from the pan. And I just figured out how to cook pancakes on induction. I pre-heat my largest cast iron @ 400 in the oven and then I move it to the cooktop.

@Becky

Yes, that solution is less than ideal. If your someone that has cookware that they can't bare to part with or in your case can't find a specialty piece that is acceptable this can be a not so elegant solution.
