Can the non-stick cooking insert be used directly on a gas/electric stovetop (to better control heat settings for sauteing garlic vs searing meats)?

I suppose it could, but the sauté/searing function on the device itself is more than enough. I can't imagine a situation where you'd want to pull out the insert to use directly on a cooktop that couldn't be accomplished on the sauté setting.

The instructions state that the insert should not be used directly on a gas/electric stovetop. The saute setting works well for this application; just do not set the timer for an extended period of time. And, I must say this company provides the best customer service. The cooker is great and I use it several times a week. I cannot say enough good things about this product. I just wish I had a good place to store this when not in use.

The grate has openings between the bars of cast iron. Cooking on the stove top could make a mess and, more importantly, cause a grease fire in your kitchen. I would not recommend it for use indoors.

Yes, the instructions with the unit said you can use it on either gas or electric stove.

I have a gas stove on which I use it regularly, but I did use it once at my brother's home on an electric stove top, and it worked fine with no damage.

I have this pan as well as other sizes and exclusively use them on my gas stovetop. The info that comes with the pan says not to overheat it as it could effect the non-stick coating.

I think stove top cooking is different. I don't think that the probe can be inserted in liquid, for one thing. The probe is not sold as an oil or candy thermometer.

Dear Nancy, U can use any kind of pan, glass alumin, cast iron, etc. Use medium heat setting when N doubt. But let me tell , this is 1 of thee best investments I have ever made! N fact, I am going 2 buy another 1 for backup. Its great around the holiday. My preference has always been gas until my gas stove went out & I had 2 resort 2 this waring commercial stove top & now I don't even bother w/the gas stove anymore except for baking. Hope this helps U. Enjoy!

I never tried but I did use it on a gas stove. I would assume an electric would work fine. You could just lay in directly on the burner. We love ours.

Yes, that is what I use it on. In fact it's probably better than a flat electric stovetop because It allows the flame to reach up more effectively into the grill area. Again stress it does a great job but this is not entirely "smokeless". Use low to moderate heat to minimize smoke.

I don't have a gas stove, but I don't see why not. Other than the ceramic non stick, it's a regular pan.

No, I use it on my flat surface electric stove. However, I do use a metal rack to keep it off the surface.

Do you mean on an electric stovetop? Yes you can. You can use it on top of any heat heat source (except induction as its aluminum)..

I liked it better on a gas stove but you can use on electric or gas. I'm stuck with electric. :-)

I don't know! I have a gas stove. It's one of the best non-stick pans I've ever bought.

I cannot speak to gas vs electric, but the flat bottom keeps.you from needing to use one of those rings to hold the wok in place.

Pat, I would refer to the temp control and the booklet that came along with the electric fry pan. I am very pleased with this electric fry pan. I did not want the nonstick at first, but I do like it now. I put it to use right away as my stove was out of order for about 3-4 weeks. I hope that you like the fry pan and that I answered your question.

Have gas stove; however, after a year plus use, the teapot still looks quite new, very sturdy, no complaints at all.....Don't see why electric would make a difference.......
