Does aluminum cookware work on induction burner?

Aluminum cookware typically does not work on induction burners unless it has a magnetic base. Induction cooking relies on magnetic fields to generate heat, so only cookware made from ferromagnetic materials, like cast iron or stainless steel with magnetic properties, will function on induction cooktops. However, some aluminum cookware is designed with a magnetic layer or disc at the bottom to make it compatible with induction cooking. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility.
