Can I put this grill pan on electric burners vs. gas burners?

Yes, you can. I use gas primarily at home, but I have taken it to friends' homes to use on electric. Usually, you will have it going front to back on the stove. On most stoves, this means a higher and a lesser power burner. You will want to take note of how the heat is coming through. For example, I may have my higher heat (larger) burner on medium, and then the lower heat (smaller) burner closer to medium high. That seems to keep the heat even over the whole skillet. The gas burner has not damaged my piece, and I have had it for close to 10 years. It is a great piece, and I hope you enjoy it! Yes, you can.

I've done it many times with no problem. I would imagine a gas burner would cause more damage than am electric burner.

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.

Yes you can use the grill pan on electric burners. I have used mine that way

Yes! I prefer gas as it's easier to control temp. With electric I use 2 burners, one to bring to temperature and one set on med-low for timing. Electric does not respond as quickly as gas for heat control. Hope this helps, I love my Fagor and use it quite a bit.

Yes - this absolutely can be used on a gas stove. In fact it is going to be better on gas than electric because equalizing the heat with two burners is easier with gas.

If it's a gas stove maybe the burners cool quicker than electric but to place one on an electric burner that's just beginning the cool down is asking for burnt covers. The best reason to have these covers is that you have to uncover both burners so there will be no wrong burner turning on and they make the stove look very neat.

I don't know. I have used the pan exclusively on a gas stove top. It works quite well on the gas stove top. I see no reason why it would not work on an electric cooktop. The cast iron pan distributes the heat evenly, and the heat from an electric cooktop should radiate throughout the pan without difficulty. the pan is of excellent quality. I would give it a try. Good luck.

Yes it can be used on gas and electric. I believe it could be used on a gas or charcoal grill. It would stop the food from falling through the grids. Also it works great. I use it on elect. with shrimp skewers and steak.

Its borosilicate so yes gas burner no prob. It made from same glass as test tube and lab stuff designed for use with a Bunsen burner.Maybe get one of those things that raise it up a bit so as not to sit directly on electric heating element.Bear Grylls can boil water in a plastic bottle, think about it. Medium high heat should be sweet.

I really don't know. I have a gas range. If you take into consideration that we use cast iron pans on gas as well as electric - well, I think it would be worth try with VERY CAREFUL monitoring!!!! Or contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say.Good luck

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

Gas would heat pan evenly and faster because gas flame would fully contact with pan.Electric oven or range may work, but I never tried.

I have a gas stove. Pan seems to work well on it, but don't use too high a flame on that burner.

Since it's solid cast iron, the griddle should work well over two gas range burners. I'd keep the flame down a bit and give it some time to heat up well, just to avoid hot spots.

This answer is late, but may help. I have both electric (glass) and gas. Works on either, and on induction too. But, on electric you may find it works better if you get it up to pressure on one burner, then transfer it carefully to a second burner set to lower to maintain pressure. Otherwise it may take awhile for the first burner to cool down and it overcooks the food. But you have to experiment to find out. Do not let this stop you from getting a pressure cooker. They are fantastic and the food actually tastes better because the flavor and nutrients are locked in.

Not sure what you mean by "without the cooking grate". If you mean without the Gourmet Cooking Grate, but with a standard cooking grate, then the answer is yes, you can. I use it all the time on an electric stove top, a gas stove top and on a Kamado style charcoal grill, as well as the Gourmet Weber grate in my Weber. Its really a great pan and is my go-to for many things from scrambled eggs to baked cauliflower.

Sorry, I used it on electric and gas burners only but I see no problem with induction. Good cooking.

I purchased this unit for my wife's birthday. I assembled it at the camp ground. It's electric. The griddle worked fine! I'm not sure how the gas version would work.Mike!
