Do they slide too easily on a gas range with iron grates? I don't like pans that move around when you are stirring stuff inside the pan.

I honestly dont know. I have a flat top electric stove and they do really well. Never had a problem with them spinning, tilting, etc. Very level and even tempered. Highly recommend these to anyone! They are easily cleaned and cook even!

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!

Not sure as I have a ceramic cook top but they are very heavy so I doubt they would move.

Along with the new cookware I got a new glass-topped stove...so I really can't answer your question. And no, they don't slide around on that. I'm totally happy with the stove (I've had it a month) and the cookware.

My gas range has cast-iron grates and it doesn't slide easy at all, contrary to my old stainless steel pots and pans that slide freely across the grates and need to grab the handle for stirring, the back of the pan has a slightly rough surface that helps increase the friction. I haven't stirred a lot in the pan's but at least the pots don't slide at all while stirring for a while.

no, they are heavy and do not move. I cook on a gas range with grating and it's great. I love this cookware! Nice and heavy with heavy glass tops. And there is plenty of cookware. You only need this set.

I have an electric stove. I have no slipping or sliding and these tops are very similar to the gas grates. Can you stir without holding the pan? I don't know, I always am holding the pan. My answer would be as long as you are holding the pan they are great. I have had my set for several months and I would buy them again in a heartbeat...

Fairly well, but not perfectly. They do become slightly stuck. Trust me it's well worth it. I use these pans weekly and they are great!

I have not had any problem with these pans and I've been using them for several months. They are probably not the best pans for ultra-high heat gas flame cooking, but are perfectly fine for electric cooktops. They clean up beautifully. I really could not be more pleased with this set. It's a great price for very good quality.

RAV, I have a 12 qt. Calphalon commercial pan, and I have the same exact problem. Last week, my meatballs stuck to the bottom of the pan and I had a terrible time with it. My friend raves about it. However, she has a gas stove and mine is electric. I really think that has a lot to do with it. I even called the company because I found that the outer perimeter of the pan doesn't heat very well. My friend has no problem in that regard, so I am convinced that it was specifically made for gas cooking. I'm going back to T-Fal. Although they are not durable, they work best for me. Jackie

TBH, I cook more with cast iron, but I've used my set to reheat soups and such for several months now and have had no issues. Purchased to replace a non-stick set, I really wasn't expecting much because of the price, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well they perform and clean up. Don't forget to pick up some product like Barkeeper's Friend and they'll look brand new in seconds.

We have a glass top stove and so far we have had no issues. I was suggest to pick up a pan and move it over to another burger instead of sliding it. We love the pans.

Yes they do as you can see they are attached to the steel so they get pretty hot. This unit is a traditional Chinese Wok. Mean to be cooked over natural gas setting the wok inside with another steel and wood (handle) flange to lift it. Most folks don't have this. The cooking is lighting fast. Gotta season it. I have that kind of stove. If you aren't against teflon, there are many and they will have a safe handle. But if you have a large burner stove and lots of ventilation, you will be happy. Or you can use this but caution hot.

They sure are, and work very well. The only issue I have is that they "squeal". I have a GE Profile induction cooktop, but that really shouldn't make any difference. I can hear the cookware, it's like a high pitched buzz, or squeal. It's not really that loud or obnoxious, but it is strange the first time you hear it! The pans are super durable, the non-stick is holding up well, and they heat evenly and quickly. A great deal in my opinion!

The main enemy of this type of cookware is high heat. Since gas flame is cooler than an electric element, you should be OK.

Yes, they are smooth. I do not think they will scratch the stove top. The pans are really very nice for the money.

Hi Mary. Unfortunately I have a gas range. However I will say that they are good pots and pans. The heat very evenly. They did discolor a bit however my dad said this is pretty typical for stainless steel. Overall a good set. Not sure about induction stoves though.

Since it's solid cast iron, the griddle should work well over two gas range burners. I'd keep the flame down a bit and give it some time to heat up well, just to avoid hot spots.

They're pretty heavy, but not as heavy as cast iron. They work great on gas burners.

These pans are great, they have not scratched our glass top stove. They sit nice and flat, but you should not slide them around.

Gail,The handles on the pans do not get hot. I use them for induction cooking but I think it is the same for gas stove too.I hope this helps. I love them and they stack perfectly.

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.
