Will saucepans with a copper bottom work on an induction hob?

Saucepans with a copper bottom typically will not work on an induction hob unless they have a magnetic base. Induction cooktops require cookware made of ferrous materials that can respond to the magnetic field, such as stainless steel or cast iron. If the copper-bottomed saucepan has a layer of magnetic material, it can be used on induction hobs; otherwise, it won't heat up. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with induction cooktops.
