More and more cookware that works with induction is arriving in the marketplace. Your $188 set sounds like a great bargain.

Just a follow-up to my original message. The QVC set includes a 1 qt, 2 qt and 8 qt pot, but I also wanted a 4 qt size. After looking at a 4-qt All-Clad Stainless Steel for almost what I paid for the entire set of the QVC set, I stopped at TJ Maxx today with my trusty magnet in hand. There I found several 3 and 4 quart pots that are magnetic on the bottom and will therefore work with induction. Be sure to test every piece: I bought a 4 quart Wolfgang Puck pot that is magnetic on the bottom but the 3-quart model is not.

This was not the first time I had checked TJ Maxx for induction-compatible cookware, so be patient and keep that magnet handy. Ross and Marshalls may also be good places to look.

I always forget to take a magnet when I go to the discount dept stores, but I often can find a magnetic clip or something like in the kitchen gadget section. :)
