I have a glass cooktop in my kitchen. I've read reviews of great conduction but wonder if this is true on electric v gas?

This set will work well with a glass cooktop as well as gas and other types of electric stove tops.

That makes more sense! I had a glass cooktop in my apartment, but when we moved into our house it had a gas stove and it made my day! My housewarming present to myself was this set, which is how I know they work well with gas. Sorry I can't be of more help with regard to how they work on the glass :( I personally think those things are the devil and will never have one again.

I am not sure if you are asking if the conduction is better with electric or gas, but I have a gas cooktop and can vouch that this set works wonderfully with it.

you should check with the manufacturer - I don't know what the rules are for glass top electric stoves - I have a gas stove - always have -

This answer is late, but may help. I have both electric (glass) and gas. Works on either, and on induction too. But, on electric you may find it works better if you get it up to pressure on one burner, then transfer it carefully to a second burner set to lower to maintain pressure. Otherwise it may take awhile for the first burner to cool down and it overcooks the food. But you have to experiment to find out. Do not let this stop you from getting a pressure cooker. They are fantastic and the food actually tastes better because the flavor and nutrients are locked in.

I only cook on electric but from the design I can't imagine this pan not working on gas. I have washed it in the dishwasher but usually hand wash as they clean very easily. The lid is vented

Yes you definitely can use it on either an electric or a gas stove top. Hope this helps.

I have a glass top electric range and have not had any issues w/ the pans sliding. I love these pots and pans! They are truly the best I have ever used in forty years of cooking! Be sure to hand wash always, although the lids do fine in the dishwasher. Enjoy!

It is not advertised as such. Googling your question brought up some suggestions as to using it on a glass stove-top, which I do not have. However, as I love my pan so much, I would not risk using it on my electric burners, much less on gas.

I tried it on mine, and it didn't work. I'm sure this is a good product for gas stoves and even element electric ones, but not on glass cooktops (which I hate, btw, but we don't have a gas hookup at the range).

I haven't tried on gas-range stoves, but on electric, it's just fantastic and warms faster then expected. It's been a successful purchase.

I used it on a glass electric range and it worked fine. The bottom is a smooth very true flat surface. I love cooking with it!

By the time you fill this pan, it will be very heavy, because it is made to do heavy-duty cooking jobs. You should check the stove manufacturer's guidelines. I have a glass top electric stove right now, so I use my pan on my gas stove in my patio when I do my canning. However, I used to have an electric stove that had the coil burners, and it worked just fine on that. When I got my new glass top, the manufacturer recommended against putting heavy loads on it. If your stove is the electric coils, you surely can use it just fine. I have loved my pressure cooker very much!

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

When the ring is set on the burner, and the wok on top of that, then it distributes the heat more evenly, plus keeping the wok stable. I have a glass top electric, but I was told that the ideal heat for a wok is a gas burner stove. When you have a gas stove the flame is much more evenly distributed on to the wok. Mine has worked fine so far and I love it. After I bought this one I read in a Chinese cook book that this kind of wok is the very best to own. I was happy about that as I took a long time deciding which one to get.

I use it on a gas stove, a buddy uses his on a electric stove, so I do not know why it would not work on a glass stove top

I've had no problems; however, I have a glass top electric stove and the elements are quite large. A friend who has a regular sized gas stove found that she had to keep her eye on meats and do a lot of moving around to get even browning. In the long run, she felt it was worth the extra effort to use only one pot.

I purchased this unit for my wife's birthday. I assembled it at the camp ground. It's electric. The griddle worked fine! I'm not sure how the gas version would work.Mike!

So far we have had no problems on our glass top electric stove. With these pans I do not cook on high, instead I set the stove on 7 and it is fine. So far, I am happy with them.
