Can this cookware be used without scratching glasstop stoves?

So far this has been the best cookware we have had. So scratches that I notice. Were careful not to slam them around so to not chip inside the cookware or beat on our stove.

I would say absolutely not. The bottom has a cut in pattern with some painted, some bare metal, and there are some sharp edges there.

The bottom is pretty sharp to be honest, but unless you drag the pans across the cooktop I think you'll be fine.

Aluminum has a Mohs hardness index of only 2-2.9. Glass is 4.5-6.5, and I assume the tempered heat-resistant glass used in cooktops would be at the top end of that range or higher, so there shouldn't be any problems with scratching. And the "sharp edges" other reviewers have been talking about are 90 degree cuts; there are no sharp protrusions pointing downward to the stove's surface.

I think if you have been using any kind of cookware and haven't had any problems, this would not be an issue definitely. The cookware is kind of delicate and light and inside the non stick is ceramic. I don't believe you will have any problem as far as scratching your glasstop surface.

We opened the box, felt how rough the bottom was, like an etched metal design, and put in right back in the box to return it. The bottom is very rough. It wasn't worth taking a chance ruining my glasstop stove. We purchased Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Stainless Steel 10 Piece Cookware Set which we have been very happy with. The bottom is flat and smooth :)

I don't find the bottom of this cookware sharp at all. It has a design but I wouldn't say it is sharp. I use it on my glass cook top and it has not harmed. I have used iron skillets on it also and it has not hurt it. I find the glass tops very durable and this cookware is very nice.

I do not have a glass cook top but the surface of the kettle on the bottom is smooth. I don't think it would scratch the glass top. If I had a glass top, I would still get the kettle.

Yes. As with any heavy item of cookware, you need to take a little care not to drag it across the surface, but ceramic glass is tougher than the word "glass" suggests. Also, if it is an induction cooktop, you can even put a piece of parchment paper (sold at all supermarkets) under the cooking vessel as an extra protection against scratching.

Absolutely, but a reminder most of the new cookware is to be used as directed. They do NOT have to be on the highest heat, mainly because you boil the nutrition out of anything you are cooking. Bring your product to a boil and turn down the heat. Incidentally, I have a glass top stove. Happy Cooking J.

Hi Pja, the bottom is quite smooth but I can't ensure you that this set are good enough for glasstop ceramic stove. To be honest, I think the pan could scratch it.. if you are not careful using it!

I use it on a glass top stove, and have had no problems. It might scratch in the long run, but I haven't seen it yet.

I use it on my glass bakeware and it works great, no scratch. I am not sure about glass top though!

I do not think it could be used on glass top, which may cause some scratches.

Yes. We have a glass top stove and have had good luck with this set. We've been using it since Christmas and have had no negative issues with it as of yet. No regrets.

I use mine on a glass stove top and it works great. The bottom of the pan is enameled and does not scratch the surface. I am very happy with this purchase (been making homemade flour tortillas on it!)

No. Now, I haven't actually tried to remove scratches from a stove top. But from the way I have used it, I dont get the impression that I would remove any scratches from any surface. Ive used it on brass and silver surfaces and it brings both to a brilliant shine. Ergo, it would shine the stove top more than it would take out any light scratches. Hope this helped.

I don't have a glass top (I have electric) so I've not tried, but the recommendation from the manufacture indicate the cookware should not be used on glass tops. And, the bottom of the pans are coated in the same material as the sides.

I don't see why not. I don't have a glass cook-top, but the bottom has a smooth, ribbed finish that should not scratch anything. The problem I have with the product is that the non-stick surface is not durable, and if you try to clean the pan too soon after cooking, the pan will warp.

The drawback would be possible scratching the glasstop.Cast Iron is the Swiss Army knife of cookware.

I bought my wife a set a year ago, and I had always wished I got two sets, so I went on here a got her the matching set. The year old set looks as good as the new set. We have a Electric stove also and we haven't had any problems with it scratching.

I've had mine for about two months and I don't have any scratches on any of them with my husband, my sitter and me using them. We are careful not to use any metal utensils on them and wash with cloth, sponge or fabric-based scour pad if needed (and it rarely is) both inside and out. I gave away nearly $600 worth of All-Clad cookware after getting this set and I couldn't be happier. It's so worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice.

I use it on a glass induction stovetop with a plastic mat to prevent scratching the glass.
