Mauviel Induction Cookware Guide: Every Line That Works on Induction

In short

Seven Mauviel collections are fully induction-compatible: M'6 S, M'COOK, M'COOK B, M'Elite, M'Elite B, M'URBAN 4 and M'STEEL. Traditional copper lines — M'Heritage, M'Tradition, M'3 S and M'Passion — work on induction with the Mauviel magnetic interface disk.

Seven Mauviel collections are fully induction-compatible straight out of the box: M'6 S, M'COOK, M'COOK B, M'Elite, M'Elite B, M'URBAN 4, and M'STEEL. Traditional copper lines — M'Heritage (M'150, M'200, M'250), M'Tradition, M'3 S, and M'Passion — are not natively magnetic, but every one of them works on induction with the Mauviel magnetic interface disk.

Why traditional copper doesn't work on induction

An induction cooktop doesn't produce heat itself. It generates a high-frequency magnetic field, and that field induces electrical currents directly in the base of the pan — but only if the base contains a ferromagnetic metal, such as magnetic stainless steel or iron. Copper is one of the best thermal conductors of any cookware metal, but it is not ferromagnetic: the induction field passes through a traditional copper pan without generating any heat. The same is true of aluminum. That is why classic copper cookware — including our M'Heritage, M'Tradition, and M'Passion lines — cannot activate an induction burner on its own.

How M'6 S brings real copper to induction

The M'6 S collection solves this with a six-layer construction, engineered and handcrafted in Villedieu-les-Poêles, Normandy. From the outside in: a polished copper exterior, three successive layers of aluminum, a ferromagnetic stainless steel layer — the layer that reacts with the induction field and generates heat — and an 18/10 brushed stainless steel interior. The magnetic layer activates the cooktop, while the substantial copper and aluminum body spreads that heat rapidly and evenly across the base and up the sidewalls. The result is genuine copper cookware with copper's signature responsiveness that works on every heat source, induction included. Browse the M'6 S collection.

Already own M'Heritage? Use the induction interface disk

If you cook on induction and own M'Heritage — or any traditional Mauviel copper — you don't need to replace your cookware. The Mauviel 1830 M'PLUS magnetic interface disc (8.6-in) sits between the burner and your pan: the induction field heats the magnetic stainless steel disk, and the disk transfers that heat to the copper above it. Place the disk on the burner, set your pan on top, and start at a moderate power level — copper conducts so efficiently that about 60% of maximum power is usually plenty. Expect slightly slower response than native induction cookware, since the disk adds a heat-transfer step.

Using the induction interface disk

01. Place the M'PLUS interface disk flat on the induction burner.

02. Set your copper pan on top of the disk, centered.

03. Start at moderate power — about 60% of maximum is usually plenty for copper.

04. Adjust gradually; the disk adds a heat-transfer step, so give it a moment to respond.

Induction FAQ

Common questions about using Mauviel cookware on induction cooktops. For everything else, see our main FAQ page.

Does copper cookware work on induction cooktops?

Traditional copper cookware does not work on induction on its own, because copper is not ferromagnetic and cannot activate the burner's magnetic field. Mauviel offers two solutions: the M'6 S collection, a six-layer induction copper line with a built-in magnetic stainless steel layer, or the M'PLUS magnetic interface disk, which lets any traditional copper piece work on an induction burner.

Which Mauviel collections are induction-compatible out of the box?

Seven collections work on induction with no adapter: M'6 S (induction copper), M'COOK and M'COOK B (5-ply stainless), M'Elite and M'Elite B (5-ply hammered stainless), M'URBAN 4 (3-ply stainless), and M'STEEL (carbon steel). All seven also work on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.

What makes the M'6 S copper collection induction-compatible?

The M'6 S uses a six-layer construction: a polished copper exterior, three layers of aluminum, a ferromagnetic stainless steel layer, and an 18/10 stainless steel interior. The magnetic stainless layer reacts with the induction field and generates heat, while the copper and aluminum body spreads it rapidly and evenly. Every piece is handcrafted in Villedieu-les-Poêles, Normandy.

I own M'Heritage copper — do I need to replace it for induction?

No. The Mauviel M'PLUS magnetic interface disk (8.6-in) sits between the burner and your pan and lets M'Heritage, M'Tradition, M'3 S and M'Passion pieces work on any induction cooktop.

Does the interface disk change cooking performance?

Slightly. The disk adds one heat-transfer step, so response is a little slower than native induction cookware like M'6 S or Mauviel's stainless lines. Start at a moderate power level — copper conducts so efficiently that about 60% of maximum power is usually enough.
