Is this safe to use on a glass top electric range?

Go to the Lodge website, if you don't see the answer, just email them. Very responsive company.

I have used this and other Lodge cast Iron on my smooth top without a problem. Just be mindful of the temperature because once they warm up they tend to smoke - so lower the heat. Also be careful not to drop or bang the pan on the stove.

It seemed safe at first, but I'm beginning to see a silver buildup on the burner. Doesn't seem like scratches, but it won't come off either.

Lately I have been heating the pan in the oven under the broiler for a good 10 to 15 minutes and then putting a seasoned steak (or steaks if more than one will fit) on it and letting it broil a way between 4 to 6 minutes on one side (dependent on the size and thickness and personal preference of the eater) then flipping to the other side for the same amount of time. Pulling the pan with the steak(s) on it out - putting the steak(s) on a plate to let it rest for about 5 minutes. I heat the plates up just ahead of that in the microwave for a minute and a half. We much prefer the steaks done this way than on the top of the stove.

I found this link. Basically they will scratch if you slide them from what I gather. Good luck.http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cookware/msg010049447701.html

Yes it is! - That is the kind of range I currently have - and have used this multiple times on it with no ill effects to either the pan or the glass top electric range.

Yes, I have used in on mine. I just am careful I don't bang it or anything. It works just fine for me.

I have used it at our cabin which has a glass top range and had no problem.

Works great. We've used it on our glass top electric stove with no problems.

Absolutely! We use our Can Cooker every week on our gas range. Everything cooks as usual and is delicious. I wouldn't recommend using on a glasstop because of weight. Also check the height of your hood or cabinets over your range

No. It is aluminum, pretty lightweight. You can't use it on glasstop ranges.

I'm sure you can, even though I don't have a glass cooktop. It should work just as well as it does on my electric burners. Make sure you don't turn the heat up too high, though.

Elizabeth, we use it on our glass cooktop and have had no issues. Hope this helps.

Answer by Sidney Patin - I use mine on a gas range all the time. Just make sure you have good sturdy burners because the canner is heavy, about 20 lbs., and it will probably break one of those newer glass tops. The instructions warn you about that.

I gave one to my sister, she loves it and uses it on glass top electric range.

We have been using it on a glasstop electric range ever since we bought it without any issues.

I can't give you an answer from experience since I have a gas stove, but here's my best guess. As I recall, the "depressions" do not actually sit as low as the bottom of the pan, so they would most likely not be in direct contact with the heating surface on a glass top electric range. They may not be a bad thing since you reduce the risk of burning them, but I don't know if the pan will get enough heat that way. Good luck.

I have a glass top electric range. They work well on this range. I like these pans alot and they are not too light as some say.

you should check with the manufacturer - I don't know what the rules are for glass top electric stoves - I have a gas stove - always have -

I have only used it on a gas range so far. I am looking forward to trying the use of it on an induction smooth top soon. The gas range works great! I expect the induction top will be similar. As for electric glass top, I do not know.

Yes, it can be used on a glass electric cooktop. Thank you for your interest.

Absolutely, that is why I purchased it. I have an electric glass top stove, and I wanted to use some of my beautiful stoneware casseroles on it for cooking. Using this metal diffuser allows me to cook on the glass without cracking any of my beautiful clay cooking pots.

yes!i have a glass top range. this is the best pan i ever used! for real!! it is so smooth, easy to clean, stays immaculate and cooks evenly. the bottom of the pan is strong and stays flat and does not scrape the glass at all. i highly recommend these pans. i bought 2!
