The description says that the flat bottom is not suitable for glass top stoves. Has someone actually tried this one on a glass stove. Experiences?

I have not but BE AWARE THE HANDLE GETS AS HOT AS THE WOK AND IT IS HEAVY ....I would not have purchased it due to the burn hazard

my only experience with this company is,I bought a wok for my son and the first time he used it it caught fire because there was a pin hole in the bottom of the wok,if they don't bother to test the product before they sell them,I will not buy from them again!

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!

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.

The flat bottom is not as flat as glass, but is usable. Looking from inside, the edge of the bottom has a ring that is slightly deeper than the center of the bottom. My stove is glass top. The only thing to deal is the maintained of the pan from rust.

Yes. I was concerned with the bottom being flat enough to use even on an electric glass top. However, this brand has been very good and does not hop around as some other flat bottom carbon steel woks would. The flat bottom wok is more versatile than the round bottom version which would not conduct enough heat even with a wok ring on an electric stove.

I use it on a gas stove, a buddy uses his on a electric stove, so I do not know why it would not work on a glass stove top

No. From the photos there will not be any flat even contact with the glass top stove. It won't heat correctly.

Dear Lindsay, These come with flat bottom, and it is designed for working on flat glass-top stove. Thank you.

thats a good question. i don't have a glass top stove therefore I don't know, but my guess is that it would work. don't quote me on that though since i can't test it for you!

We have a glass top stove, and this did not work with it - even using the burner ring. Putting it directly on the burner, only a small portion on the bottom would get very hot, but the sides would not. I'm not the cook, but I was told it was not suitable for normal wok cooking. We are now looking for a handhammered flat bottom wok to replace this one.

The bottom is absolutely NOT flat. It is concave about 1/8" at the center. So it will NOT sit flat on the glass-top stove, it will NOT have the best heat transfer on a flat-top stove. Just set the pan on the edge of your counter and you can see it. When a bit of water is placed inside the pan it slowly pools around the edges, which means the inside isn't exactly flat inside either (though seemingly nowhere near as concave as the bottom).

Yes, you can use it on a glass top stove. The bottom is no more abrasive than other cookware and will make good contact with the stove surface. Just set it down gently.

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

Yes it works Very well ....BUT I caution you to use extreme care( Just be gentle ) when setting it down as it is a heavy piece ,I also have a Lower end glass flat top . So I dont Know if this Cook top thickness varies But it cooks great

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

I have a regular electric stove and it works great! Don't see why it wouldn't work on a glass top.
