Yes, the wrought iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, campfires, and wood-fired ovens.

At 2.87 lbs, this pan is significantly lighter than a traditional cast iron skillet of the same size. The 2.5mm wrought iron provides excellent heat retention while being much easier to maneuver from the oven to the table.
