Does this pan require a special cook top range? Does it work on a standard electric range?

Yes, I have a standard flat-top electrical range. However, I echo the caution about being careful about not overheating--on our hottest burner 3 is actually about as high as we go with this pan. The secret with the pan--and I imagine this applies to any cooking surface--is to make sure it is nice and hot before you put food into it. Huge difference with eggs sticking if you put them into a fully heated pan vs pan not adequately warm.

We have just a regular electric stove and it works great. Don't know how well it works on anything else.

I have a flat electric cooktop and it works fine. I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work on a standard range. You might be able to go right to the DeBuyer website and ask.

It does work on electrical range, but be careful on settings, keep heat on 4 to 6 (max 7) on scale of 10 and dont leave it empty on heat long, these heat up pretty fast, otherwise it may, probably will, warp.

If you are asking if you may put it "in" the oven (electric or otherwise), the answer is yes, but only up to 350°. If you are asking about "on" the oven, I use it on my smooth top electric cooktop all the time, and it is great!

It should be fine to use on electric stove top, just make sure you get correct size to match your stove dimensions. I know some reviews said it didn't fit we'll on electric stove top. I would recommend purchasing the smaller pan size griddle.

I have an induction stove top and this pan works very well on it. It does take longer to cook the food, but the clean up is a dream. I do not use it on the highest setting just because I am a little hesitant to do this. I set it on 8 when high heat is called for.

Yes it does work on an electric stove, you just have to adjust the temp a bit so it doesn't get too hot.

Sandy, I really don't know. I have a glasstop electric stove. I understand that for induction stovetops, you need either special cookware or an induction ring.

I use this pan with an electric stove top and it works well. I weighed the pan and it is just over 2.5 pounds. It has a nice weight and it is heavy enough to heat evenly. I use it instead of the broiler in the summer.

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 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.

I found this in the description, Kenneth, "Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges." I have a smooth top electric range, but it's not induction, so it works just fine. I think this particular pan is just not designed to work with the induction ranges.

I have a gas range and the pan performs extremely well. You will be happy with it on a gas range.

No special connection, it is 110v. Any type of cookware that will work on a normal range.

I have a glass top electric stove top and it works great. It takes a moment to figure out the right temperature but once that is resolved, it is good to go. I wash it after it has cooled slightly and it cleans up well. If anything sticks, just let it soak.

It didn't on my electric stove top, but I now have a gas range and if the oven or another burner are also on, it does get too warm to the touch. I use my cast iron sleeve on it.

This works great with a glass top range. It has a flat bottom which makes direct contact with the glass top, and the glass top heats quicker than a standard electric coil, so there is no long, long pause while the heat is transferred to the pan.

I have a smooth top electric range and I returned this pan because it wouldn't work with that type of cooking surface. The ridge pattern on the bottom of the pan wouldn't make a good contact for even heating--the bottom of the pan needs to be smooth as well. I ended up purchasing a Berndes griddle pan (from Amazon) that works perfectly for electric cook tops. the Berndes was fairly expensive but was worth the price for what I wanted to use it for---indoor grilled meats. I hope that answers your question.

Not sure what he means by a flat stove top? I have an electric range with a flat top and it does not work on my range. I bought it for my butane camp stove but was very disappointed in the Vev's operation and quality of brew it produced.
