No, you cannot use a normal cooker (pressure cooker) designed for traditional gas or electric stoves on an induction stove. Induction cooktops work by generating an electromagnetic field that heats the cookware directly. Traditional pressure cookers are typically made of aluminum, which is not magnetic and won't work with induction cooktops.

However, you can find induction-compatible pressure cookers specifically designed for use with induction cooktops. These pressure cookers are made from magnetic stainless steel or have a layer of magnetic material added to their base to enable them to work with induction cooktops.

Similarly, regular stainless steel (SS) vessels will work on an induction cooktop only if they are made with magnetic stainless steel. To check if your stainless steel cookware is compatible with induction cooktops, try using a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the base of the vessel, then it is induction-compatible.

Some stainless steel cookware is made with a layer of magnetic material on the bottom to make it suitable for induction cooking. Look for labels or markings on the cookware indicating its compatibility with induction cooktops.

Keep in mind that the effectiveness of induction cooking also depends on the quality and thickness of the cookware. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use cookware with a flat and heavy bottom, as this ensures better contact with the induction cooktop surface and more even heating.
