Just bought a new glass top stove and wondering if this is OK to use on it, many saying aluminum should be avoided on glass, anyone use this on glass?

I had a glass top stove in Ct. And used two such pans on it and never had a problem.

I use it on my glass top stove with no problem. I first bring whatever I am cooking at a high temp to start. When it has reached the point that the temp is too high, I remove the pot and turn the burner down to low and then place the simmer mat on the burner. I then place the pot on the simmer mat. It takes a little longer for it to simmer but it eventually will and you never have to worry about it burning.

I think using any cast iron may scratch a glass-top stove. I would check with the maker of the stove for sure

I did a lot of reviews on these before I bought them and from everything I read, they were safe to use on the glass top stove. THat being said, when I moved from our apartment to our house, that was my one requirement....no glass top. So I don't have them to confirm they won't ruin the pans, but again I did a lot of research and didn't find anything about that. I will say that I LOVE this set!!!

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's metal just like most pots and pans. I would not use it on a glass top stove but I use mine on a regular electric stove to eliminate "hot spots" when simmering.

Yes you can use this on a glass top stove! I have had a glass top stove for a long time & cook everyday with these wonderful pans. This T-fal set is a great set. They cook even & easy to cleanup. I wouldn't cook with anything else.

no mine are pure glass. :) metal isn't healthy for cooking like glass is. and certain metals are very hazardous for your health to use like aluminum. We love our glass cooking pots.

I do not have a glass cooktop, but have in past. I don't see what harm it would cause to the cooktop or vice versa to the pan...

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

I wouldn't try it because you will still have metal to glass contact. You can use ceramic coated cast iron on a glass cooktop. We use a ceramic coated Dutch oven on ours with no problems. Hope this helps.

I use it on gas stove. Don't know about glass top but bottom not flush with outside rim so may not heat as well.

Opps, I did not know about an issue with glass top stovea. I've been using mine without any problems whatsoever. My stove is one of the newer models so maybe they have improved over the years.

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

I used it once on a glass top stove and had no trouble. I don't remember reading this warning and now I'm going to check this out more before I use it again.

Found this: Paula Deen's enamel-coated porcelain cookware and aluminum or stainless steel cookware are not safe to use on glass stove tops, according to the product specifications. Your stove's operation manual may also provide some insight into what type of cookware is best to use on the stovetop and what type of cookware should be avoided.

I use a glass top stove, and never take the heat over med to med-hi. Anything over that burns the pan and ruins the food.
