Can i use this on the stovetop too like a traditional roaster?

It IS a metal pan (of good quality) so it functions like any metal pan. However, I cannot imagine you using it on top of the stove to cook. I do put the pan with the juices from a roast on top of the stove to make gravy but not to cook with it.

Yes. I cook on a glass stovetop and it works well. Do keep your temperatures lower to avoid spillovers and burning.

I cant say for sure, but I did put mine on the stove top to heat drippings and broth for making gravey. It certainly is of sound construction and does feel like it would be stovetop quality.

I have not tried that, but I don't recommend it. It likely would make the roaster unstable and could fall over in the oven. You could put herbs in the cavity and use cooking spray to hold them in place.

I use this to roast coffee, it gets very hot and is the size of a range top burner. I think it would be fine. I have it quiet a while and I'm very happy with it.

It would not work very well on the stove top. You can place a cookie sheet in the oven to set it on for oven use.

Absolutely! Actually for a starter that's what I'll recommend.Stovetop can be tricky. If you don't use low heat or a diffuser, you run a serious risk of breaking the tagine.PS: Food comes out just as great weather used in the oven or stove top.

Yes, you can sauté and use it like a thick bottomed pot or pan. I believe this is true of all pressure cookers for a stovetop.

I know this question is about 1-1/2 yrs. old, but thought I would answer it anyway! Yes, you can use this pan on the stove top. It's especially convenient when you want to make a sauce or gravy after you've roasted your meat.

Yes, you can use it on a stovetop but you must first properly season it and always use a heat diffuser. Tagines are made of clay and are fragile but they are designed to be used on a charcoal burner in Morocco. They are very inexpensive there and when they crack, as they often do, it is easy and cheap to replace them. So for use on a stove you must use a heat diffuser on gas or electric.

It can be used on the stove top but the three legs make it a little less effective. If you have a gas range the legs will fit down between the grates. On an electric top it would probably be best to have a Dutch oven with out legs. The one with legs is called a Camp Dutch oven. It works well in an oven because the legs fit in the shelf of the oven. My son does this all of the time. Stove top no.

That's what I like about it. When I make a roast in the oven, I can put it on top of the stove and thicken the juice for gravy. If you keep the fire on low heat, you could roast. Otherwise it will stick. It is not real thick on the bottom for roasting.

I would use this roaster in an oven only for roasting. You probably could do a gravy with dippings using the roaster over a gas top burner but I have not tried it yet.

i believe the instruction booklet says that you can use it on stove top. I have not done this myself.

This type of roaster should not be used on a glass top stove because of risk of melting the enamel and damaging the cooktop. While the pan can be used on other types of stove tops, the pans are thin and not made to conduct heat as well as other more appropriate stovetop cookware.

No, It is for roasting a whole chicken. I don't know how you would do that on a stove

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.
