@t6477kb Not enough metal to trigger the control circuits. An induction unit won't turn on unless it 'senses' a pan or large metal object. A ring wont trigger it ( at least on my cooker... tried it ).
@jaxo1 True stainless steel is not magnetic. Anytime you see something with stainless steel on it that is magnetic, most notably refrigerators, there is only a fine layer of SS on top of another metal which is magnetic and probably less expensive. I'll bet your silverware isn't magnetic. Common mistake though and I only learned that selling appliances including induction cooktops.
Induction cooking is great, but I can't believe presenter said it can use "most every cooking set out there, except glass." That's not true. It need NOT be expensive, but aluminum, copper, and most stainless pots will NOT work with induction cooktops unless one "cheats" by placing a steel disk on top of the burner -- the steel heats up, then ANY pot, including glass, can be used on top of the steel -- but using the plate pretty much converts your induction to an ordinary conduction cooktop.
Dangerous if you wear a metal watch... Trust me!

If you could use it with any cookware except glass as she claims no one would buy standard electric cooktops anymore. Ever. It'll eventually happen.

Note that many stainless steel items do NOT stick to a magnet. Depends upon the alloy. Carry a small magnet when shopping for the pots.

@dfgriggs If it's stainless STEEL, it should work. Anything that sticks to a magnet works.

what about if your wearing rings will they heat instantly?

@dfgriggs oh nooo, that's too much to go through. I'm better off buying ferrous (magnetic) metals in order for this masterpiece to work properly.
