I think they are silver plated copper, SS would probably get hotter faster in IH, quess that's why I never use'm

Silver is not that expensive and pure silver could be suitable in terms of price. The good thermal conductivity of silver would also be wasted due to copper inside.

PS: Pure silver

Silver thermal conductivity is only marginally higher than copper.

To my limited knowledge, silver is not induction-compatible, but the induction capability of the cap remains. Therefore, although it will work, it will not provide the benefit of more even heating by the flame, as the induction device will already take care of that.

Of course, I could easily be wrong and my knowledge is not enough, nor do I have any experience with it.

Most likely so. The IH will heat the SS cap, and it will heat the silver...does it make sense to mess with it...

I love silver, I just think it's beautiful, which is why I'm thinking about using the collar, although I don't use an IH, I have the TM2 for that. I only heat with a torch. The silver brings more mass, advantageous, the others do that too, so it would be preference and price that would make me choose. Others will certainly see it differently.

No the Silver collar IS compatible with an Induction Heater.
