How do they work on flat top stoves?

I didn't try it once I read instructions that said not to use it. Wasn't going to potentially damage my stove to check if instructions were incorrect.

For some reason they say not to use them, but my experience is they work great. The only down side is the water may get on the glass top and need to be cleaned off. But that canhappen with any pot that boils over. Otherwise it's great. I love it.

No. From the photos there will not be any flat even contact with the glass top stove. It won't heat correctly.

I have a wolf electric cooktop and it sits perfectly flat. And although I do have a small hand I have no trouble reaching in to clean it.

If the stove gets hot you can cook with it. You'll probably have hot spots and cool spots depending on where the burners are, but I've used it to good effect on both gas and electric. Never tried induction or one of those glass flat top stoves so I can't vouch for those.

I use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

Yes they are. I have a flat top stove and they work wonderfully. I really like these pans. Sometimes the handles on the lids get warm/hot. I always let them soak and hot water and they clean up nicely. I never put in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

So far they sit very true and flat. We learned that the secret is not to put cold water on them when they are hot. They work very well on our smooth surface stove.

No. I was disappointed by that. nevertheless, it has worked on both coil and flat stove top for me. The tip of each hole touches the bottom and helps heating the whole pan.

I really cannot answer that question accurately, I don't have a flat top stove, but I love, love this product. I only purchased the prepackaged set, and I need to get a few extra pieces, but I am very happy with that I have.

That makes more sense! I had a glass cooktop in my apartment, but when we moved into our house it had a gas stove and it made my day! My housewarming present to myself was this set, which is how I know they work well with gas. Sorry I can't be of more help with regard to how they work on the glass :( I personally think those things are the devil and will never have one again.

I have a flat top electric stove, it works wonderfully. The bottom is perfectly flat.

It is flat, not sure if it works on glass, I'm not very familiar with those type of stoves

They are mostly flat: They have a slightly indented pattern, to distribute heat evenly. We purchased one set for our gas range and one for our dtrs electric range - Works beautifully with our gas range, not so well on the coils of our dtrs electric stove. It may very well be she uses too high a flame, we are not sure but you cannot use high heat with these pots/pans. Many things DO stick to them. I cannot recommend for frying. We do not usually fry, so I love them. I would think these would work well on the glass-top... Hope this is helpful.

Yes, we have been using them on an induction cooktop and it has been working fine. The bottoms need to be flat for it to work well, and these have a flat bottom.

I do, it has a flat bottom; but you should check your stove's instructions.

It's NOT flat, there is a ridge. I have a brand new GE electric glass-top stove and it could NOT bring 3 gallons of water to a boil, even after an hour of heating on the "power-boil" setting, and trying to shift it around for maximum contact. This pot is useless on flat tops.

I honestly dont know. I have a flat top electric stove and they do really well. Never had a problem with them spinning, tilting, etc. Very level and even tempered. Highly recommend these to anyone! They are easily cleaned and cook even!
