Best skillet for glass top stoves?
175928
I am looking for a non-stick skillet in the 12-inch range. I am all for the Earth friendly options, but most importantly, it must sit flat on a glass top range. The skillet that I am retiring is a Cooks Tools from Belk. It has served admirably for three years, but now the non-stick is breaking down. At this point, it is worthless for frying eggs and it is only going to get worse. I am statisfied with the Cook's Tools from Belk, three years for a non-stick pan that gets used on a daily basis is very good, but Cook's Tool doesn't seem to have a comparable pan in their current lineup. Does anyone know of a largish skillet with a lid that won't worp? Basically, I need some thing with a thick multiclad bottom.

I don't know....I don't have a glass top stove. Best to consult the manufacturer.

Why would one choose glass over stainless for stove top use? I'd be scared of breakage since a low to medium flame is recommended which would also increase the amount of time for the water to boil.

I can't answer the specific question, however, I have cooked with cast iron for 40+ years, and it is incredibly heavy. It heats up quickly on gas, but can't say about a glass cook top.

I think using any cast iron may scratch a glass-top stove. I would check with the maker of the stove for sure

Yes. I have a glass top range and it works very well. It is my favorite cooking pan.

I also have a glass top range. I have used my Aebleskiver pan with no problems--and they taste just great! Good Luck!

My experience is on a flat glass top stove. It works very well there. I couldn't be more pleased.

Yes, we have a glass-top stove, which is a perfect fit for the flat bottom of the 10.2 inch DeBuyer frying pan. As this pan is quite heavy for its size, I always set it down carefully and do not drop it onto the glass-top surface. It takes a few minutes to heat up the pan, then it gets nice and hot. This slick pan is my favorite for making omelets and pancakes.

I bought this skillet SPECIFICALLY because my apartment at the time had a glass-top range. I love making frittatas, but couldn't put my cast iron on the glass top. This skillet was glass-top-safe AND broiler-safe, so it hit the nail on the head for me. As for its performance specifically on glass top, I found that this size fit almost perfectly on my "large" burners on the range. If I had it sitting a little off-kilter with part of the skillet off the element, that section wouldn't heat quite as well, but even then the skillet had a remarkable amount of evenness to the heat. The only thing I discovered semi the hard way is that this skillet is VERY temperature-reactive on any range, but it seemed especially so on the evenly conductive glass-top range. I had to routinely halve any temperature I thought I wanted. Once you recalibrate your mental temperature range vs. the dial, you're fine, though.

I have a Samsung glass top slide in stove that I use these on. They have a smooth bottom so they won't scratch the top. I love this set. It cooks evenly and while you will get some sticking like with scrambled eggs etc they are easy to clean. Soak them in hot water for a few minutes then use a sponge for stainless Steele so you don't scratch the surface and a little bit of Bar Keepers Friend and they clean spotless and quickly.

I have a glass top stove. I use this pan all the time, and it does quite well on my stove top. It conducts hear well and cook evenly.

I can't speak for the others. I can only tell you that ours is definitely cast iron. It's very heavy. We have a glass cook top and it takes a few minutes to heat up, but once it is heated it cooks great! I recommend cleaning it with mineral spirits and then scrubbing it with detergent BEFORE you start to season it. We love ours! Great wok for the price!

Hello, yes, I use this skillet on a ceramic glass top. However, I would highly advise against sliding the skillet on the cooktop. Hope this helps!

Yes I have a glass top stove and there great but remember they hold the heat much better than other pans and will boil over

I really don't know but I would suspect the cast iron might scratch the glass top.... I'd just check with the manufacture of the stove about using any cast iron on the surface.

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.
