ALL-CLAD can't be beat!:
All-Clad is the very best and most of their pans are compatible with Induction cooking I had the 6qt so I ordered all the larger pieces that had the aluminum core. I never like to cook in the exact size pan. I like to have ample extra room in the pan. I think the other is a 12 qt. and I have the steam insert that fits all those pans.
