Should the wire diffuser be used with a smooth top electric stove or will it be fine since the metal coils won't be in direct contact?

I put it right on out glass stove and it works great. The real brewing part takes place up top in the method. Hope that helps.

We have a glass top stove with electric burners underneath. We have not used on this type of glass top electric burner because after some of my own research I read that it can ruin it. I am not sure if it will work on an electric burner with a spiral plug in element.

Yes, it will- at least for me it does. I use the heat diffuser on any kind of pots and pans, except when the pot is smaller ; if the pot is the same size as , or bigger than the heat diffuser, it works well. I cook on gas, so I don't know how it works with electric stove, if you have one.

Not a good idea; not even safe unless cooking oil directly on the stove burner sounds like fun to you. I also do not think direct contact with a heating element or gas flame is a good idea; the wire mesh is a fairly fine gauge and it likely to get hotter than you want.

Yes to both of these types of cook tops. I have the no coil smooth top cook surface which I believe mine is glass. I have not had any problems with the kettle or my stove top. Hope this helps. I love my tea kettle.

This kind of trivet is not meant to be used on a burner. A "wire" or coil type of metal trivet is the type of guard you should use between a pyrex pot and an electric burner. See Chemex wire trivet/guard on Amazon at Chemex Stainless Steel Wire Grid for Use on Electric Stove, 6.5 Inch

Yes, I use mine on my GE smooth black top electric range. I have the one, two, three and six quart Henkel Spirit pots and use all of them on the smooth top range. I have only discovered them in the last year or two and they are the best pots I have ever used.John Barinaga

Yes, I used it in hotel electric stove with coil for 3 weeks. You would need some trial and error with the coil's heating. I would suggest to always wait for coil to be full heated before placing the roti.

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 wouldn't put this directly on a red-hot coil; even when filled with water, there's a decent risk of thermal shock with something this big. If your stove has a glass or ceramic top then it might be alright, but I would get something to diffuse the heat. The one thing you do not want to do is pour cold water into this before/while/after it is on the stove. You can boil water in the microwave in this if it fits (it's too tall for mine, and beware superheating). I tend to start being concerned about thermal shock in borosilicate glass when the temperature gradient is over 100 C, so you're right on the edge here.

I have flame gas stove so it works great for me but I am not sure about how it would do with coil stove.

My knobs are far enough away from the burners for this not to be a problem. This sounds like a question for the manufacturer.

I wish I could answer the question for you, but I'm not familiar with a heat diffuser. I would imagine that any pot or pan that you place on top of this is also going to get hot, though on induction cooktop it is going to get hot through conduction through the metal not through induction.

I havent had a problem. If it lays across the electric coils of your stove, it will be ok, I'm sure.

Because it is curved on the bottom, I don't think it would work very well on an electric stove. Only part of the bottom would contact the heating element. We use it on a gas stove and the flame comes up to contact it evenly on the bottom.

I have a gas stove but I see no reason why there would be a problem on electric stove. Smooth flat bottom

I use mine on a flat top electric stove. It took some getting used to but works well for me.
