Is this safe to use on range cooktop cast iron grates?

I've only used it on the wood grates at the bottom so it is never near food. Here has never been an order. So I could only guess how close to a food prep area was safe. I don't think this is much help but wit is how I've used it

I did and it stays on and no fire so far. You maybe can check with manufacture.

I don't see why not. It's just a piece of cast iron. That said, I have only used it on gas stoves.

I have cast iron grates and live outside of DC (high humidity). I have had the grill for almost 6 years and very little if any rust on them. My secret is before and after every use I take a paper towel, pour some vegetable oil on it and rub the grates down. The coating of oil prevents rust and makes for easy cleaning.

I have use it on my gas range with no problem. This pot heats evenly and quickly. I use it for Soups and Gravies... Hope this helps.

Yes it worked fine on my porcelain coated cast iron grates, and cleaned them well on the top and sides

I have used this and other Lodge cast Iron on my smooth top without a problem. Just be mindful of the temperature because once they warm up they tend to smoke - so lower the heat. Also be careful not to drop or bang the pan on the stove.

Hello Zoe, It is cast iron and should work well. I am installing my induction cooktop next week and will try it to make sure. I have used my Lodge griddle for several years with my Viking gas range top and hopeful it will work without a hiccup on the induction as well. You should be careful to only lift to place on your cooktop as cast iron can be rough enough to scratch.

I have no idea, but I'd guess not. My recommendation is to contact Lodge directly to get their recommendation. I use ours on a Viking gas cooktop and it's been excellent for that use.

Yes, I use it on stainless steel pans and the stainless steel rod cooking grates from our Weber grill (the main job for these) and they are very effective - much more so than your typical steel wool pads - won't use anything else. I also use on other pans such as hard anodized as long as they do NOT have a special coating / non-stick. If you use these on a non-stick surface, it will ruin the finish as I'm sure you know.

I have been using them on an electric range however I have friends who use the same pots and pans on open gas burners with no problems. As is typical of gas cooking (which by the way I much prefer) there will be eventual discoloration on the bottoms of the cookware which is not uncommon with gas.

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

It will work on cast iron grates but I would be cautious about the chemicals and cooking. Make sure you clean them very good and then season them with oil to help prevent them from rusting again.

I have stainless steel gas range. I know it works great for me, no more burned pans.

I use mine on a gas range but assume it's made of steel and can be used on an induction stove.

These are stainless steel and copper on the bottom. Induction heat has no flames. I would think it would be the same as an electric range top. So I think it would be fine. Google it to be sure but we are talking about a form of Heat, and a form of metal. I think it would be fine but find out for sure if you have concerns. Hope this helps.

I use mine on a glass top range, even the heavy pressure cooker. Trick is to not cover the entire burner with the pot, leave a little exposed and the heat regulates itself properly. If I put the pots so that they cover the entire burner, the burner doesn't heat properly.

I use in on gas range, but I am assuming you can because it is stainless steel. .
