Induction Cookpot Options?

[tek210]

I do 5 gallon extract batches and have no plans to increase that. So I need an upgrade in a 3-4 gallon pot. I have an induction burner I want to use as the electric stove I have has a small burner which takes a while to get to a boil.

I searched Amazon and it came back with a 20 qt from Prime Pacific as one of the hits. Strangely a magnet sticks to it, but the induction burner does not detect it.

Anyone know of any reasonably priced ($50-$100) options that I can use for my brews? Preferably one from Amazon as I have Amazon Prime.

i actually do mine in two pots on the stove. That might be an option. I do 5 gallon batches. Another option is to do smaller batches. I like doing 2 gallon test batches.

Well the recipes I use call for 2 gallons plus ingredients. Then add water to get to 5. Still hoping I can find something that is induction.

I don't know of one specifically, but just look for one that specifically says for use on induction ranges

What's different about induction cookware? Are they just stainless?

Took a little searching but I was able to find a reasonable pan that is induction ready for a similar price.

For induction to work it needs to be steel that can hold a magnet.
