No, aluminum pans are not compatible with induction stovetops. Induction stovetops work by creating an electromagnetic field that directly heats the cookware, and this requires the cookware to be made of a magnetic material.

Aluminum is a non-magnetic metal, which means it won't respond to the induction cooking process and will not heat up on an induction stove. To use an induction cooktop, you need cookware that contains magnetic materials like iron or steel. Stainless steel, cast iron, and some types of enameled cookware are examples of suitable materials that will work with induction stovetops.

If you want to check whether your existing cookware is compatible with induction cooking, try placing a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly to the bottom, it should work on an induction stove. If the magnet does not stick, the pan is not suitable for induction cooking, and you will need to invest in induction-compatible cookware.
