I see all references are for a gas stove, will they work on an electric stove as well??

I assume so. They work by removing the knobs, sliding the covers on and reattaching the knobs.

My stove is gas but I would imagine all stoves have the same knob setup. The hole on the back plate of the Safety 1st (where the prong - sorry I don't know what it's called - from the stove goes in) is pretty big, 1.25 inches wide. You remove the knob off the stove, you put the Safety 1st against the stove in an open position so the prong sticks out thru the 1.25 inch hole, put the stove knob back into the prong that sticks out of the stove, and you can close the Safety 1st. The Safety 1st is 2 inches "tall" so make sure your stove knob doesn't protrude that much (with mine there's plenty of room inside the Safety 1st). The Safety 1st is just under 3 inches wide on the back so make sure your stove prongs are spaced far enough to accommodate them. With my stove, there's plenty of room between the Safety 1st knobs. I hope this helps.

It is my understanding that it can only be used on a gas range but I believe they make one for electric stovetops too.

Yes, you can. I do have gas stove in my house either. It works just fine on electric cooktop.

Yes, I have used them on a gas and electric stovetop. No problems. They work just as well as some of our Teflon pots and pans. Matter of fact we use them over a portable gas stove when camping.

It may be possible, but I highly recommend against it. These really require and 6 or 7 minutes on an electric stove burner.Hope that helps! They really are great, defiantly worth the extra time.

yes you can use it on an electric stove, don't forget to oil it well before each use.

Absolutely! I wouldn't use it on an electric stove. Just seems weird. I plan to use it on my grill in the summer. We love it!

I have a regular electric stove, it works fine on it. I spend more money and bought a Nordic Ware, it works great and since it islarger I can do the job in half the time.

Yes it does work on an electric stove, you just have to adjust the temp a bit so it doesn't get too hot.

I haven't tried but I don't see why not. Works just as good on my electric stove.

I don't know why you couldn't use it on an electric stove or hotplate, I use it on a gas stove. You have to watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over though.

I have an electric stove and they work great. Hopefully someone with a gas stove will also answer. With the electric they cook like other pots but they do hold the heat and it is an even heat that is not always with electric. Therefore I like these better.

I have a gas stove but I do not see any reason why it would not work well on an electric burner. JC

Just an edit to previous reply. I have a glass top flat surface stove. I'm sure results would be different if using electric burners.

I have a gas stove, but I think the kettle should do fine on an electric stove. Its very heavy duty.

I really don't know. I have a gas range. If you take into consideration that we use cast iron pans on gas as well as electric - well, I think it would be worth try with VERY CAREFUL monitoring!!!! Or contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say.Good luck

Only for a gas stove. Electric no good as it doesn't sit perfectly flat. Wouldn't even boil water...
