Says it's suitable for all cooking surfaces - but anyone used it on a flame cooktop? Works ok?

I love it and highly recommend it to everyone who love a more traditional cup of espresso!

I only use it on an electric stove. However, everything external is stainless steel so it should be okay as long as you take it off the flame when it has perked for a minute.

Yes I use it on a gas stove daily. works best with a smaller flame so the flame stays underneath the pot rather than around the pot. Enjoy!

I think I read somewhere that you can use it on a ceramic cooktop with some reservations I would contact the company.

I used one for years on top of the flat spot on the wood stove that heated my house. works awesome... also used it for smaller things on top of the wood cookstove instead of using the big oven.

well, i've only used it on my grill top and it worked just fine on top of a gas grill grate, so it should be fine. but keep in mind, it has holes throughout, so if you're cooking something with liquid, it's going to drip.

Yes, it can be used on a gas cooktop. Not on an open flame like a gas grill.

I used it quite a few times on a ceramic top with no issues. It seems to take a lot of heating, so the stove does get hot, but no issues.

I do not know, as I have only used it on an electric smooth top and also an electric coil range. My main concern would be that you might let the fire get too hot and the small size of the flame might not heat the griddle evenly and it might warp. The griddle is not as thick a cast iron as a regular cast iron frying pan.

I have not used it on a grill, have used it in my smoker and my oven. Not sure how it would handle flame-ups. Instructions say not to expose to flame, perhaps you could protect it with some aluminum foil while grilling?

Yes. I've had no problem using it on my ceramic cooktop. It won't scratch or damage the surface.Lois

Just read the label for you... it states "recommended for use on all smooth cooktop surfaces." Personally, I love this stuff along with the spray bottle for daily touch up cleaning after cooking your meals.

Yes, indeed. I have one similar to this I bought many years ago and have used it exclusively on gas stoves. Never had a problem with grease melting into the flame. The openings drain into a trough that circles the burner. The only thing I've done is remove the cast iron plate that you would normally rest your cooking pot on. This lets me get the cooktop closer to the flame and a better sear.

Yes, I have used mine on my gas stove top to brown meat. It has worked fine.

I am using it on a glass top. It does have a ridge around the edge, and is a tad big for my bridge burners. I use it mostly for pancakes and it is fine. I would replace it with the same model if something happened to the one I have. I hope this helps. I could not find anything in any store where I live. I am happy with this purchase. Linda

I have a gas range so I'm not sure! I would think it would work on all cooktops because the bottom is flat! Good luck!

Yes, I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Same as below as to clean-up.

It works best when the flame can reach the center of the base. I use mine on a small Coleman 2 burner camping stove, and it works great. I would guess that it would work on your stove.

Elizabeth, we use it on our glass cooktop and have had no issues. Hope this helps.
