Is the round bottomed wok and ring safe to use on a glass topped electric stove?

Yes it is completedly safe. I 've used it many times and it's stable. It might slide sideways or backward a bit. Just keep 1 hand (with a pot holder) on 1 side as you stir. Happy cooking !

Honestly, wok cooking should be used with gas or flame style cooking. I fear that glass top won't heat evenly, and will slide around too much.

I use it everyday on my glass electric cook top. I have no problems with it at all.

Yes, we have a glass top electric stove and have been using this kettle. I'm curious to why one might consider this unsafe? I'm not really concerned about scratching etc if it did occur, the enamel covering doesn't melt to the glass if that is your concern. I use high heat with this kettle and haven't had a problem with mine. It isn't too heavy either if that is your concern.

I only have a gas burner but I doubt there would be enough contact with the round shape to heat enough. There are flat bottom woks

The ring stabilizes the round-bottom wok when positioned on top of conventional gas stove burners. Place the ring on top of the burner, place the wok on top of the ring.

I use it on a gas stove, but the bottom is very flat and should work well on a glass-top electric.

Whirlpool W10216179 Wok Ring A regular wok ring didn't work for me, but someone gave me one of these, a Whirlpool Wok Ring (I don't know if the link is allowed, if not just search for it on Amazon.) A round bottom is MUCH better than a flat bottom when it comes to woking. If you need to know why, I can write you the 10+ page answer.

We have a smooth glass top electric stove. Yes, it does work just fine. Although others reference the uneven bottom, the bottom outer perimeter does "seal" so to speak keeping even heat within. Ebelskiver's have been our favorite for years!

i have a glass top electric stove and had no problem with the tea kettle. it would have to be made with tempered glass to be a tea kettle. just don't drop it on the floor like i did!

I have a gas stove but I see no reason why there would be a problem on electric stove. Smooth flat bottom

Thanks, Randy. I'm glad to hear this because I just ordered a set from Amazon! Some anodized cookware has circular rings on the bottom that are very rough and would damage the glasstop burners. I'm glad to hear these are okay!

It does have a flat bottom vs a rounded bottom so I suppose it can be used on a glass stove. However, I don't know how well it will cook on a glass or electric range vs a gas range. That said I think it does a fantastic job on a gas range.

I have used mine on an electric stove with no problem. It has a flat bottom.

I use cast iron on my glass top stove all the time with no problems. Just dont slide it around or drop the pan on it and it will be fine

Yes, we use it on our gas stove. Just use a ring underneath the wok to keep it balanced.

I cannot speak to gas vs electric, but the flat bottom keeps.you from needing to use one of those rings to hold the wok in place.
