Why can't I use my 12 qt Granite Ware stockpot on my flat top stove? I like the stockpot and don't want to return it.

The elements inside the pot will melt and the bottom of the pot will fused itself to the glassware eye of the stove

It doesn't fit the top pasta basket, but if you remove that, you can place the steamer on the stock pot. However, because of the 7qt pot's height, you would probably want to add more water to the pot so that it's closer to the steam holes . . .and would take longer to boil. I really think it's better suited to use with a sauce or 3qt soup pot.

I have a ceramic topped stove and we just received this pan so I haven't used it. There are several warnings in the pamphlet included with the pan regarding ceramic topped stoves. It states that "overheating or allowing (porcelain enamel) to boil dry can make these pans fuse to the surface of the glass top ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cook top". My husband says to "go for it", but I do worry about the heat required to stir fry. The pan rated highly, but I am a little worried.

First, I ask if you had asked the seller. However, I've cooked in similarily coated pots (not in this pot, yet) and I can't imagine not being able to cook a large stew or stock in this pot. But, I've not tried yet.

I'm not exactly sure, but could it be that the P12D3 is not pre-seasoned? If so, I would Definitely recommend the pre-seasoned pot -THAT is what makes these Lodge pots so incredible.

I think the company that made the stove is the one to answer your question ..as you can or can not put in your stove, I use the pot on gas and electric stoves and my food is tasty good, I am happy with my pot I recommend it

It is raised so your cookware cannot hang over the edge. We really haven't had any problems with this and we use large stockpots. If you use a large pot on one of the smaller cook surface you may have to set it off center a little which isn't an issue.

I've discarded the box, but a word of advice: DO NOT GET THE CUISINART "CLASSIC" pot(s). They are nice/good, but not at all the quality of the MultiClad line of Cuisinart. (You can pull up the Cuisinart website and pose the question about using it on the ceramic stovetops in the "contact us" link.

I'm not having any problem with mine. I also have a glass stovetop. No suggestions.... Except to enforce to warranty.

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.

Im sorry, but I don't have an answer to that question, I returned the product because it was an accident waiting to happen, there was an almost loose surface to hold the pot on top of the "burner", and with boiling oil inside of it... I don't even want to think about it. Good luck if you buy it.

I would say yes, with maybe a lid without the straining holes, or with it. I have only used this for spaghetti so far. It also depends on how high the simmer is on your stove. This new stove we have cooks higher on simmer. I liked the last stove with the lower simmer, therefore I maybe could use the pot with the straining holes as a stock pot. Try it and see how it works. I just purchased this a short time ago. Hope it works for you!

No. Look for old Corning-ware pans. Some were for stove top. But not the new ones.

No, I ordered this guy along with a 20 qt stockpot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083876R6/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

B. Coomes asks the very same question I have. I got a 12" skillet and sent it back because it was warped in the middle and NOT flat. I now BADLY want this 5.5 qt. casserole to take it's place, but I see negative reviews for it as well, exactly like my review for the 12" skillet. That was exceedingly disappointing! Does anyone with a FLAT cooktop stove have a good review for this pan??????? I'm not ordering until I know that they are not ALL defective, and that I have a good chance with it.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

I'm sorry, this is the new CorningWare (Corning ll) it CAN NOT go on the stovetop. If you want something that can go from oven or freezer to stovetop you need the old Corning, which you can get used at garage sales etc.
