Can this product be used on a glass top stove?

I believe that these types of products can only be used on a Gas top stove, otherwise it would not generate enought heat to cook on.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

I'm pretty sure it can. As long as you are using gas burners, then I don't see why you can't use it on your glass stove.

I don't think I would try it. If the cooktop is Induction then it will work well, if its regular electric or infrared then it won't work as well. The bigger problem is that this is a rough casting and I'd be concerned that over time the smooth glass/ceramic cooktop would get scratched. The grill pan also gets a little oily, which could transfer to the cooktop resulting in you having to clean any spots that burn. I think that if you are super careful it would probably work, but I worry about that beautiful, clean cooktop being defaced in some way.

Yes, you can use cast iron on glass top (ceramic) stoves but with some cautions. Cast iron is very heavy and if it is dropped onto to the surface it can crack it. Don't store heavy cookware like this in cupboards or shelves above this type of stove because it could easily be dropped and shatter the glass. Also avoid sliding any iron cookware around on the ceramic surface as this will scratch it. If you move the pan around, lift it and then place it back down. It's possible to purchase special protective cooking pads for glass top stoves at kitchen stores for use with high-heat cookware like cast iron. They are also placed under any cookware that may scratch the surface like this product. Sometimes people place cast iron on stoves with the flame or electric on to dry them after cleaning NEVER do this with a ceramic/ glass top stove, if you walk away and forget about the pan the glass top can get too hot and break. Last, cast iron does seem to work better on gas rather than electric stoves.

I've never tríed using it on a stove top but wouldn't recommend it. The glass is fragile.

I do not know. Are there specific pots you can use on a glass top stove? This is an aluminum pot ... which I absolutely love ... if that helps at all.

Good question. Unfortunately, I have a gas stove. I'm unfamiliar with requirements of glass top stoves.

I'm not sure why the instructions say not to use on a glass top, but I have used it many times on my glass top with no problems. Probably if you used it for more time than the 25-30 minutes most things call for, it may get too hot, but I have using it for years (this is my third one) without damage to either the cooker or the stove top.

Elizabeth, we use it on our glass cooktop and have had no issues. Hope this helps.

I use it on my glass cooktop stove with no problem, but if you have concerns about induction, you might want to go to www.lodge.com and find a phone number to call and ask Lodge about induction cooktops.

I wouldn't use it on a glass cooktop as I believe these pans are not complete flat on the bottom. There is a large indent in the middle so it would not heat evenly.

Yes. I use all my cast iron pots/skillets on my glass top. You just have to use care not to set it down too hard. That's the case with these glass top cookers anyway.

I really don't know but I would suspect the cast iron might scratch the glass top.... I'd just check with the manufacture of the stove about using any cast iron on the surface.

I don't know....I don't have a glass top stove. Best to consult the manufacturer.

Yes you can use this on a glass top stove! I have had a glass top stove for a long time & cook everyday with these wonderful pans. This T-fal set is a great set. They cook even & easy to cleanup. I wouldn't cook with anything else.

Yes, it can be used on a glass electric cooktop. Thank you for your interest.

I'm sure you can, even though I don't have a glass cooktop. It should work just as well as it does on my electric burners. Make sure you don't turn the heat up too high, though.

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 do not know. I works great on top of my gas stove and I'm sure it would on a glass top.

From what I have read, they do not recommend using iron cookware on glass top stoves. I gave all of mine to my son, who has a gas stove. I bought this item for him for Christmas. However, my brother-in-law does use his on a glass top stove all the time, so I guess it's up to the individual. I had to give my son some other cookware that wasn't even on the bottom and was wearing away all the little dots on my cooktop.
