Question 1

Handle hot

Accepted Answer

The handle on the lid does get hot so use a rag when lifting the lid, but the handle on the pot stays rather cool, but you should always use a rag or some kind of protection any way.  A dry rag is always a better insulator than a wet rag.  A good cook is always cautious with all cooking ware.  If you're using a flame or high heat turn it off before moving the pot.  Safety first.  There's more to being a good cook than just recipes.

Question 2

does a magnet stick to this pan, i see conflicting info about it working with induction

Accepted Answer

I have been cooking on an induction unit for nearly 10 years,  I have several stainless steel saucepans. It doesn't matter if the sides, handles, and lids will not attract a magnet. It ONLY matters that the BOTTOM of the pot or pan is magnetic.

Induction heats the bottom of the cookware only.  The heat from the bottom is then transferred up the sides, handle, and lid...and the food.

Most stainless steel pots now have a bottom that is aluminum sandwiched between the steel on the outside and the steel on the bottom of the pot. in steel.  The aluminum provides for a more even heat (stainless steel is not a good conductor of heat, but aluminum is), and the steel that encases it allows the electromagnetism of the induction unit generate heat.

High nickel/austenitic stainless steel will work on induction units, but not very well because the nickel blocks the magnetic properties, but all steel has some amount of nickel in it.

The consumer who said their Calphalon tri-clad cookware doesn't work with induction might have an older set of cookware.  In 2010, Calphalon redesigned the that cookware to make it induction-safe.

There is not a big difference between 1 and 1.5qts. You might not notice it in a picture and they may even have used the same picture!
