Will this griddle work on a ceramic cooktop ? Does the base is flat or scratchy ?

I have coils (unfortunately) and it works. However, the coils easily scratch the bottom. So ceramic could do same. But it doesn't take away from the performance.

Yes it works fine on a glass stovetop. Like all Calphalon products, the 1st few times you use them, warm them up slowly (say on 3), then turn up to desired temp (say 6)...this will help avoid them from warping.

I use it all the time on my ceramic cooktop with NO problems. The base is flat NOT scratchy. I love it.

It is flat and smooth. We use it on a glass top range. This is our favorite line of cookware.

Can't answer the part about the ceramic cooktop. Never used one. I'm one of those that thinks gas is the only way to go. Yes, the skillet is flat on the bottom. An absolutely marvelous pan.

Hi - I had a non-GE smooth top range and it fit OK, but it really doesn't cook all that well on that type of range. The griddle portion sits above, not on, the burner and it's almost impossible to get two electric burners of different outputs to heat it evenly.I've since replaced that stove with a commercial-style gas range, and it works much better. I don't like the shape of it for pancakes, but I've cooked 2 lbs of bacon on it and it came out great.

All griddles have some uneven heat distribution issues, but this one does a pretty good job in my opinion. I personally haven't noticed any significant problems with mine.

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

I have a new ceramic flat-top electric stove and the manual says DO NOT use glass cookware on this type of stove. It will scratch the surface.

Yes. I have a ceramic-top stove and have had no problem with scratching. I like the pan. It is very shallow but I like it.

I have a smooth ceramic top stove and it works great. I love the flat bottom.

The product I received was not flat, it had circles around it that will scratch any ceramic or glass cooktop

Not exactly sure of the question. The surface is somewhat uneven but it does not affect the cooking aspect for the griddle.

Yes this pot has a very thick flat bottom. Also works on induction cooktops.

I received the wrong item so I can't answer your question. I received a smooth griddle when it should have had ridges.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

Yes, this pan does have a FLAT bottom. I have always used mine in my OVEN and have not cooked with it on my Ceramic Cooktop. I love this square pan and believe it would be fine on a Ceramic Cooktop. It does sit flat on the cooktop. Ope this helps.

Yes, the bottom is smooth & has no grooves or indentations in it. My electric stove top is ceramic, as well & this wok is perfect.
