can it be used on a glass top stove - if so does it sear well?

I am sorry, I don't know the answer. I use it on a regular electric top and it works very well. I heat it on medium high and turn it down to medium to cook. It sears with grill marks and I time the same as my broiler. I hope this helps.

Yes, that is how I use it. My wife insisted that we have one that would not scratch the surface. It sears very well.

I have a glass cook top on my stove but really think it would work better on gas. I found it to have a tendency to burn on my stove.

Sorry Marcy, I don't own a glass-top. Searing while maintaining the "grill lines" is adequate if you rub the surface of the food with a cooking oil first, then place it on the already heated Pan... --GBJ

I do not know. It will not work on a glass top stove, and I wish I did not purchase this skillet.

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

I don't have a glass cooktop but my mom does. I think the cooking would turn out fine, but there is a huge danger of cracking your glass when placing or setting this on the glass because it is pretty heavy. I probably wouldn't use this on glass.

I use it on a glass top stove, and have had no problems. It might scratch in the long run, but I haven't seen it yet.

I don't think so. My stove does not recommend it for the glass top. It does recommend cast iron cookery in the oven. I think it would scratch the surface. I will just use on the extra side burner on my grill or try making waffles in the oven.

I have been using mine on a smooth glass cooktop without any problems. Works great!

Yes, I have a glass top stove and I do not have any problems. Holds the heat and cooks fast.

I wouldn't use it on a glass cooktop as I believe these pans are not complete flat on the bottom. There is a large indent in the middle so it would not heat evenly.

Please note that this is an anodized aluminum griller. I don't see any reason why it won't work on a glass top stove. It won't work on an induction stove because the underneath is not stainless steel.

I use my set on a glass top stove all the time. I don't have any problems with it. I would recommend its use for it.

Yes, it can be used on a glass electric cooktop. Thank you for your interest.

You can use it on a glass top stove, but you would have to be very careful not to scratch the glass surface. The pot is heavy by itself and filled with a stew becomes heavier.

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.

I used it on the glass top with no problem. I did not put it to high heat though. I loved using it with salmon and chicken so it doesn't need to be at the high side of hot to work well.

Yes! I absolutely love this pan! Works great on the glass top stove but you don't need as much heat as other pans so remember to keep it set lower.

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