You state yourself that 'holding a magnet against the pan' will show whether it will work or not (ferrous) and aluminium simply won't 'hold a magnet'.

I use them myself and no aluminium pan I have will be 'recognised' by the cooker.

However I am aware of aluminium pans that have steel 'cores' that are made specifically to be used with induction cookers if this is what you are inferring?
