These are huge. You will only be able to use one at a time if you need another burner. I use both ( I purchased 2) on the 2 large burners, to make pancakes.

I have the "smooth top" electric stove. That said, I think that the 8" coils may be an issue.

The 13" is a great pan, but I would recommend a smaller one for an 8" burner.

We have a glass stove so I didn't pay much attention to the measurements as ours is a flat surface. There is the little lip edge on around the sides of the griddle, so as long as you check the measurements so that it sits around your burners it should be okay. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I've used it on an electrical coil style stove top. It works, but I could tell there were some initial cold spots. After waiting the colder region got hot enough to work fine. It just takes a bit longer to warm up all the way through. NOTE: It is cast iron...you can't just crank up the stove to heat up the pan....it HAS TO BE done slow...the electrical coils only transfer heat at their contact points and if you crank it up...the contact points will get hot while other portions of the pan will be cold and cast iron will warp.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine. I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad. So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best. HJ

Thank you for posting. I actually bought the stove, figuring the pictures must be accurate after finding the same one in multiple places, and it's right; the measurements stated in the product page are wrong. I was concerned because 13" wide (or long) would not have been wide enough to fit two pots on the burners!

It's a little huge. I have a fairly large burner, but not one large enough for this pan. My cooktop is induction - so it's a bit different. That said, it still works very well for certain tasks such as searing meat.

Yes it can. Top of burner is a sturdy, flat approx 10" wide surface. We have a large soup pot we use on it. One thing to consider: the actual area that will heat a pot is only about 4-5" across. So for a large pot (large diameter) it's VERY important to make sure that it's bottom is a great conductor of heat. Our pots are AllClad induction-ready pans and they work fabulously. We also have an off-brand stainless steel wok with a wide base we use and it works well to. So it doesn't have to be an expensive pot. Try the magnet test. If a magnet sticks REALLY well to the bottom, then it should work just fine.

This pot is one inch larger than the burner on our induction top stove all the way around. We checked with manufacturer and this was maximum size safe to use on ours. I used the pot twice so far without a problem.

My stove coils work fine with the 8" and 10" pans - the 12" too big....try to not exceed medium heat, but have had mine for 1 year without any warping. Lightweight for good thickness of metal. Good heat transfer.

I think it would fit fine on a regular gas burner. I have a ceramic cooktop right now, but I think it is made to fit on both electric or gas burners. :)

Yes!!! I do on a GE Glass cooktop and use the three burners far left while using this. I think this was designed to be use on all cooktops...I would use it on gas and electric coils cook tops as well if need be.

The cooking surface is a very stable 6.25"x6.25" surface. I can/have used a 3" cup and up to a 12" pot. Understand it is more suited to 6, 8 to maximum 10" pot/pan. It is not meant to replace an electric cook stove especially if you plan on using a sterno cup as your fuel source. Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNYcRivgepM (As suggested in the video I raise the trangia up by setting it on a simple piece of 2x4 to set the flame to the optimum 1.5" distance to cooking surface.) Check Wallie World if you have one local for the best deal.

Great Question - My 8" Burner that came out of my stove and the New one going back in was 8 3/4" Diameter. I guess it was close enough. Mine is working just great now, the old one had a connector wire burned out but I went ahead and replaced it with the new one. Wife is Happy Now.

Yes, it works great. I have used on my electric glass cooktop. Just use the largest burner.

Yes, I believe it will. The base of the canner is 12 inches and I don't know of any stove other than professional models that would have burners that large. The canner is high-quality steel and should warm evenly even with an eight inch burner. I hope this has been helpful.

Look carefully at the pin placement- how it plugs in to your stove and the wattage of the unit. Also the size of the opening for the replacement- seems to me the sizing was not correctly listed by the manufacturer.
