Will this griddle work on a ceramic cooktop ? Does the base is flat or scratchy ?

Great square griddle w/smooth, flat bottom. Should work fine on a ceramic cooktop.

Flat, and there should be no problem on a ceramic cooktop. Cuisinart should take care of you promptly if you have any problems.

I believe it will be fine. The bottom of the pan is smooth. The pan is flat.

Yes, it will work on a ceramic cooktop. The bottom of this griddle is smooth and has never caused a problem but make sure your cooktop is wiped off before cooking just to be safe.

Yes it is flat. I don't have a ceramic cooktop but it would work. I can send a picture of the bottom if you need to see it.

Yes; the bottom of this lodge cast iron skillet is flat. However, ceramic top stoves do not tend to appreciate the use of cast iron cookware. Scratches are common so I would encourage only minimal browning of your items on a ceramic stove before placing the cast iron in the oven for complete baking.

Can't answer the part about the ceramic cooktop. Never used one. I'm one of those that thinks gas is the only way to go. Yes, the skillet is flat on the bottom. An absolutely marvelous pan.

We used this on a glass cooktop, i cannot remember for sure if it has a TOTALY smooth bottom, but i dont think you will have any issues.

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.

I think because its not flat on the bottom. I have the ceramic and it didnt work on mine..

Hi - I had a non-GE smooth top range and it fit OK, but it really doesn't cook all that well on that type of range. The griddle portion sits above, not on, the burner and it's almost impossible to get two electric burners of different outputs to heat it evenly.I've since replaced that stove with a commercial-style gas range, and it works much better. I don't like the shape of it for pancakes, but I've cooked 2 lbs of bacon on it and it came out great.

I have a smooth top electric range and I returned this pan because it wouldn't work with that type of cooking surface. The ridge pattern on the bottom of the pan wouldn't make a good contact for even heating--the bottom of the pan needs to be smooth as well. I ended up purchasing a Berndes griddle pan (from Amazon) that works perfectly for electric cook tops. the Berndes was fairly expensive but was worth the price for what I wanted to use it for---indoor grilled meats. I hope that answers your question.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

I would say it would not be a good choice for a ceramic cooktop; I would probably have to recommend a flat bottom Wok.

The bottom is not totally flat. It has a flat inner circle, then an indented section, and then the edge. I don't know why it wouldn't work on a ceramic stove. I say, "give it a try, you can always return it if it's not right."

very well it has even heat distribution and doesn't scratch my cooktop. The only thing is with this cookware you cannot cook on high heat.

I have used gas on my pan. The cook top might get scratchy as this pan is cast iron and very heavy with grooves on the underside. If you don't care about that then I would fire it up and grill a steak, or salmon...I would wipe down the underside of the pan from any oils that you have used to cure it tho...

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.

This is a solid steel griddle. It should work just fine on an induction cooktop.

The stove comes with a single griddle (which is a flat surface). I'd imagine that some people purchase 3rd party grills/skillets (with ridged surfaces).
