How does it work with glass top electric range

Yes! I have trouble finding skillets that sit flat on my glass top, but the cuisinart chef's classic line sits very flat and heats evenly.

This works great with a glass top range. It has a flat bottom which makes direct contact with the glass top, and the glass top heats quicker than a standard electric coil, so there is no long, long pause while the heat is transferred to the pan.

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.

Per Cuisinart Customer Service, yes, you can use this cookware on a glass top range.

I have used it on my glass top induction units, and I'm sure that it would behave the same on regular electric glass top ranges. When it gets hot it warps. It buckles in the center which means that the edges are hotter than the center and the crepes do not cook evenly. Go with the Cuisinart non-stick. It's a bit larger but the result is much better - IMHO

My daughter-in-law has a electric top stove with glass cover and it works just fine for her with no problem

I just used mine on my glass top cooktop over the holiday weekend. It worked fine.

Should work perfectly fine on a glass top range. With that said I would caution its use because it is quite heavy. Setting it down too hard has potential to crack the glass.

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 :)

We have been using it on a glasstop electric range ever since we bought it without any issues.

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

Somehow I missed the not for electric stove use as that is what I have. My electric range is the smooth glass top style but I have used my Greek coffee pot on with no problems. You just need to lift the pot from the heat when it starts to overflow. I would do the same method if I was using a hotplate.

I use mine on an electric range and it works great. This a great tea kettle!

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

I have an electric range and it does heat up quickly. Heat is distributed evenly.

I really don't know. My range is a smoothtop, and it works fine on it. I really wouldn't think it would matter, but I don't know.

I would go with what the manufacturer says. It could possibly scratch the glass top and not work properly with electric heat. It is designed for a gas stove to evenly distribute the heat from the flame

I have an elecrtic range with the glass top. These pans are greaat on that surface. Hope this helps.

Yep! Works great on my glass-top stove. Don't know about induction ranges, though--mine is a standard electric. I also used it on my old coil-type electric stove with no problem. In fact, I think there's a gas stove version that has a different bottom...but don't hold me to that! I love this tea kettle--it's easy to clean, heats up fast, and has a great classic look.
