The Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply 8-Quart Stock Pot offers professional-grade tri-ply construction with excellent heat distribution and full cooktop compatibility, including induction.

KitchenAid's Hard Anodized 8-qt Induction Nonstick Stockpot combines a thick forged base with triple-layer nonstick for even heating and easy cleanup, and it works on induction cooktops.
