Should this be used on a glass top range or is it strictly for use on countertops?

I put mine on top of a regular coil electric stove but I NEVER turn the stove on when it is sitting there. I used it to make extra space in my tiny kitchen. It is a space maker, not something to cook on.

It's for use on counter tops. There is fabric on the underside to keep it from scratching.

You can use it on a glass top range, just don't turn on the heat, it has a foam rubbet backing that will melt.

I would put it on the glass top range if the range were COLD and NOT IN USE. There is a padded bottom so I don't think it would scratch the glass top.

I used it on a glass electric range and it worked fine. The bottom is a smooth very true flat surface. I love cooking with it!

No. It is aluminum, pretty lightweight. You can't use it on glasstop ranges.

I use mine on a glass top range. You just have to be careful when you set it down... it's heavy. I wouldn't slide it around since that would probably scratch the stove top.

I'm sorry. I've never used it on a glass top, but it works great in the oven for soups and stews.

The cooking pot can be used on a range top for cooking. However, the cooking pot is metal and it is very easy to scratch a glass top range with metal; I know because I have a glass top range. I have always used my West Bend Slow Cookers on their bases.

Yes, you can use it on a glass top range. Since my pan has the sight crown on it, the part of the pan closest to the handle gets hotter than the opposite side since the weight of the handle makes the pan lean that way. The only times it has any real impact is like when I sear scallops. The ones on the hotter side of the pan get more seared than the ones on the opposite side.

The problem using this pressure cooker on a glass top stove won't be from the pan. Some glass top stove manufacturers don't want canning done on there ranges, check for that information. This being a moderate size unit i can see no reason it shouldn't be used. I've used this pressure cooker on both a smooth top range and a wood stove. On both the pan worked perfectly. Smooth top ranges require smooth bottom pans, which this pressure cooker is..

I am not sure...I have a gas range. It does work well for paella and I do not see any reason why it wouldn't work on a glass-ceramic top unless you have to you special cookware??

Amy they don't recommend using it on any glass top range, one for the weight possibly causing glass breakage becasue your transferring the heat beyond the actual eye area to the none heated area. As far as induction goes it wont work either as its made out of aluminum. Basically if a magnet wont stick to the bottom of a pot you can't induce enough magnetic current to heat the pot up. You could possibly use an interference disk to transfer the heat but your against the weight issue. This link explains it pretty well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking Hope that helps :)

I have used it on oven interior-enamel and the glass panel of the oven. I do not know about glass top stoves.

Well, Rita, It depends on what you mean. If you want to protect your counter it will do very well. All the special places on my counter are protected with tempered glass.Don't use it where it will exposed to high heat or to open flames: for example on an electric burner that is on. Don't forget that it is tempered glass. It will probably crack..or worse.

I use it on my gas stove all the time. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a glass top. My knobs are on the bottom, and it still works. It's an awesome way to increase counter space!

I've used the pan on a glass top only; and had excellent results. Just followed the break in proceedure and the pan does a great job.

I woudl not see why you couldn't use it on a Glass top range. However the weight may play a factor. We use this in our oven to cook bread in so it is on a oven rack in our house.

Yes it is suitable for glass top ranges. Caution: do not scoot it or pull it across top of stove or you'll scratch the glass. Always lift the cookware to move it.

I use all the time on glass stove top but am careful to not use high temperature.
