I have not used it on induction. I don't see there will be issues cooking with this on either because it is very heavy duty. I cook on stove top with this and I totally love it. In fact, I purchased a smaller sized pan also very recently.

Does thid induction cooktop have the right diameter of cooking heat distribution for the pan? Is that distribution controllable? I test the heat distribution by boiling water the day I get my pots and pans.

I own one and use it on direct heat over gas burners. Due to its size, it warps leaving me with one side lifted from the flame while the other side is spot on. Although it 'will do' for me as i can turn the flame up higher on the warped side, i do not believe that it will be as cooperative on a flat induction cooktop. I am currently looking for a cast iron griddle which i believe will maintain its shape a lot better.

If you mean a glass top range, I wouldn't recommend it since the pan is cast iron, itll scratch it. If however its the coil style you are good to go.

I use it on an induction range. Works great...see my review.The induction range has a ceramic surface; ceramic is harder than steel, so the pan will not scratch the ceramic. BUT...if any salt gets between the ceramic and the pan, it could scratch both.So I keep the range top and bottom of the pan clean. If I need to shake the pan, I lift it...even though I know it cannot scratch the range top. For the record, the pan's performance over an induction range is incredible.

I have a gas range and I always use it on the stove top before I put it in it's base and it works great. It doesn't matters what your heat source is because the bottom of it is just like a skillet.

Yes. I have this very same pan and have used it several times to cook on my electric glass top range. I am very happy with the results of this product. It is also easy to clean.

sorry i don't know about usage on the glass top. i have used it under 2 burners at the same heat but it wasn't the same as using the middle burner

I have an induction stove top and this pan works very well on it. It does take longer to cook the food, but the clean up is a dream. I do not use it on the highest setting just because I am a little hesitant to do this. I set it on 8 when high heat is called for.

If induction is glass top then I would not recommend it. Many reviews said calphalon warps on glass tops. I would get model # and call them to see.

I have owned this set for over a year now, and I have a glass top range. I'm very pleased with the way the heat is distributed evenly throughout the pan. (Something I've had problems with in other brands of cookware.) I would buy this set over, and over again.

Yes, I only do stovetop cooking on induction. It works very well, due to the smallness of the bottom you will need to turn up the induction unit by 10 or 20 degrees over some other cookware.

I use it on my glass cooktop stove with no problem, but if you have concerns about induction, you might want to go to www.lodge.com and find a phone number to call and ask Lodge about induction cooktops.

I have a glass top electric range with this pan and have no problems with it. Of course, I have never used this pan with another type of stove. Hopefully the other reviewer gave specifics. Good luck!

I use my wok on my induction top, the heat spreads evenly around. You could also try a metal ring to make it more sturdy. Bon appetite

I too, have a glass top stove and have found no problems. In fact the grill is evenly heated.

Yes, I have a glass top range and the product works beautiful. I cook with it several times a week and have not had any problems at all.
