Would induction cookware work on the regular cook-top?

[Clerk]

I'm not talking about the gas stove. The other cook-top that has some black color rounded plates. That's a regular cook-top right. Would the induction cookware work on those?
The only decent resource is induction tips I've researched it a little, and I know that I need the proper cookware in order for it to work.

I did not think celebration of the 73rd anniversary of the first purposeful human consumption of ***was until April 19th!

Drat! I must have overslept.

Sounds like you have a smooth top electric stove. Any cookware will heat up on electric. Aluminum, cast iron, stainless, copper, glass, something-coated-something, stove-ready crock pots.

It's the other-way-around that won't work. Some pots/pans won't work with an induction stove because you need the magnetic induction. But there's a fix for that, too. Plop an induction disc on the stove. The stove heats that up, and in turn, the disc heats up your cookware.

Am I just old or does this make no sense at all.
Why not just buy normal cookware and an old fashioned gas stove?

Cause magnetic fields and magnets are cool!

I just ran into a dude who bought a $900 induction cooktop to replace his broken electric stove. Portable/commerical/single-burner variety.

He put water in a kettle and it boiled in 35 seconds. Insane.

Just timed it in a micro-wave...10 seconds.Oh and you can get a decent 1200watt microwave for under $200.

I just use a 3000watt Electric Kettle. 1 pint of water, 12 seconds.
