It's a LeCreuset....it can cook on anything any time. Don't mean to give you a short answer, but this is the best cookware you can buy. It will cook on gas, coil stove eyes, or glass cooktop without any problems. And it will last for many years. Best wishes to you and your cooking.

I think so but it is very large. I wouldn't put it on a glass cook top for fear the weight (with food) would crack it during handling. The size is unwieldy above waist height and on a home height cook top, you would not be able to see in the pot unless you stood on a step (assuming you are less than 6' tall).

Yes, it is perfectly safe on a glass stove top because that electric stove is what I use the pan on.

I canned on a glass cooktop without any problems. The big problem is the differential in heat on the stove top that causes it to crack, part of it getting very hot and other part not hot. If you keep the whole stovetop (all the burners) hot, it prevents cracking.

No, I could not recommend the pot on a glass cook top. I think it would move and be very annoying.

I wouldn't imagine it would be a good fit for a glass cooktop. It is heavy iron- might scratch your stove. I'm thinking it wouldn't conduct the heat as well as it does on a gas range, either.

Yes, that's why I bought it. Read their instructions carefully about preheating, maximum temperatures, etc. I found it to be perfect for glass cooktops.

I use all the time on glass stove top but am careful to not use high temperature.

Yes, I use it on a glass cooktop frequently. Try to match up the bottom cast iron ring with a similar sized burner. I start by heating it on medium-high, until the outer edge starts to get hot to the touch. I immediately turn the heat down to medium-low and let the temperature stabilize for a few minutes before I start cooking the aebleskivers.

I think "can not" is too strong. The product description says "you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove." That's because of the delicate porcelain finish. My mother has used similar on her glasstop burner for decades with no harm done to either the pot or the burner.

I used it on the glass top with no problem. I did not put it to high heat though. I loved using it with salmon and chicken so it doesn't need to be at the high side of hot to work well.

I would have to say yes. This grill pan has an excellent finish, the botton is smooth, and will not cause any problems for your glass top. It also cook great. Hope this helps.

You can use it on a glass top stove, but you would have to be very careful not to scratch the glass surface. The pot is heavy by itself and filled with a stew becomes heavier.

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.

Yes. It is metal and would not scratch the surface of the glass top and it would diffuse the heat. It is really effective for simmering on gas burners without burning the bottom materials in the pan

We have had no problem with this as it is Teflon coated and our stove is a glass top. I do not know about other cooking surfaces.

I just used mine on my glass top cooktop over the holiday weekend. It worked fine.
