It says it is safe for stove-top use, has anyone used it this way? Any problems with the glass fracturing due to the heat?

I have been using the teapot regularly on my gas stove-top over medium heat for several months without incident. I also wash it in the dishwasher. I've banged it against things on accident and the lid has fallen off while pouring - and it has not cracked.

absolutely fine to use over gas burner, we do it all the time, and in the oven. However, be careful with the lids, because they do not appear to be the same quality glass as the pots. One of ours shattered when subjected to rapid cooling

It hasn't left any scratches or marks on a glass cooktop in my experience. I would be careful not to use the very highest heat levels just because these stoves get so hot they can eventually wear down the nonstick surface.

I use it on my glass top stove with no problem. I first bring whatever I am cooking at a high temp to start. When it has reached the point that the temp is too high, I remove the pot and turn the burner down to low and then place the simmer mat on the burner. I then place the pot on the simmer mat. It takes a little longer for it to simmer but it eventually will and you never have to worry about it burning.

the instruction book says; some glass stovetops may not produce enough heat/energy required for safe pressure canning-suggests not to use. hope that helps

Yes it is; I have a glass top stove also. Use medium heat only and be sure to leave the griddle on the stove when you turn off the heating units. Let everything cool off by itself and especially NEVER run cool water over it or wash it until it has completely cooled off. Don't put it in the dishwasher either; this will prevent warping of the griddle.

It is great on a glass top stove. I have a glass top and this cookware does not scratch it at all. You can boil, use stove on high setting and no harm at all. It is the only cookware I will use on such a delicate stovetop. Don"t be afraid to use this--but as the other reviewer says--the non-stick coating comes off way too easily even when extremely careful.

I do not belive it is safe for Glass Top Ranges -- the bottom is very flat and would build up a lot of heat and would most likely break the glass top. I did place mine on the glass top stove for a short period of time in an emergency situation. I use an outdoor single propane burner unit -- works amazing! This is the type I have: Bayou Classic SP50 Tall High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker -- The presure canner works great on it -- keeps the heat and steam outside and is lower than a stove top which makes it easier to load and unload the canner. If you go this route, make sure you check your propane level before you start!

I have a glass top stove and I use it on there all the time, I'm just extra careful when I set it down and pick it up. Although maybe I should drop it on there so I can get a new stove :)

My stove is a glass top and I have had no trouble however, I am not a glass stove top expert so I would refer to your user's manual for guidance.

Yes this will work just fine. We use a glass cooktop stove and have had no problems the entire time we've owned it.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

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.

From what I have read, they do not recommend using iron cookware on glass top stoves. I gave all of mine to my son, who has a gas stove. I bought this item for him for Christmas. However, my brother-in-law does use his on a glass top stove all the time, so I guess it's up to the individual. I had to give my son some other cookware that wasn't even on the bottom and was wearing away all the little dots on my cooktop.

I use mine on a glass stovetop and it's great. It doesn't scratch the top and vice versa.

I'm not an expert, however glass can usually be used for cold or hot. You would probably want to take the plastic insert out. This glass is thick and well made. I don't think it's recommended for stove top or direct heat.
