I have a glass top stove (steer clear of this type of cook top) do these pots and pans wobble or deform under high heat?(glass tops need flat bottom)

Mine don't wobble. Pans warp because of being placed in cold or warm water after being removed from high or prolonged heat. These pans should cool completely before running them under water. Well all pans should. I love my pans and I have a glass cook top.

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!!!

No, they haven't for me. I do not use high heat, though. Medium high is best.

I have a glass top oven and I have not had any problems with my pans warping.

I have a glass stovetop and they work great. They have an inlay of metal on the bottom to assist in heating.

Yes...they are flat and do great on a flat glass top. Best cookware Ive purchased in a long time. Cooks evenly and quickly.

Yes, my same pan (in the 12" size) warped slightly. I cranked the heat pretty abruptly, though (by mistake). Lodge says that these pans work on any cooktop, including induction stoves (on their website). You just have to be careful to heat the pan somewhat gradually. I haven't had the chance to test this myself, though, to see if the pan stays flat with gradually warming it because I haven't purchased another one yet. Personally, I was a little disappointed because I really liked the pan until it warped (only slightly). I find myself using that pan a lot less because I don't feel like taking my time with warming my pan. I want to be able to get a hot pan asap and start cooking.

I just got mine in the mail ... I would say that if you put this pot on a glass cooktop ... you would not have even weight distribution across the bottom of the pan. This is not a perfectly flat milled bottom on the pot. This is not an encapsulated bottom. The bottom of the pot is no thicker than the sides. This is a bonus for my intended purpose but if you are looking for something milled flat that will stay flat forever ... this may not be what you are looking for.

Yes. We have a glass top stove and have had good luck with this set. We've been using it since Christmas and have had no negative issues with it as of yet. No regrets.

I just received mine and I don't have a problem with the lid wobbling but the removable stoneware does wobble when it's placed inside the heating base. Does anyone else have that problem?

Smooth. I do not have a glass top but an electric one with those circular eyes. I so like woking. I plan to buy a portable cooktop to take outside to keep heat out of the kitchen during summer months. Have fun.

These pans do have a flat bottom. They should work well with a glass cooktop.

I use it on my glass-top range but only to steam or boil contents. My pot - there are variations on inexpensive items like this - is flat on its circumference but not on its radius. In other words, it doesn't wobble, but the bottom slight rises from the edge to the center. Because of this bowed bottom, I wouldn't suggest sauteing in this pot.

Because these pans are porcelain, they blister with high heat.. Also glass stove tops are very sensitive, so as long as you use moderate heat it's OK to use, adult supervision for sure.

Yes, the pan bottoms are flat and smooth. They sure don't scratch my GE glass cooktop.

I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool. Then warps more as it is heated. I didn't find that to be a big problem however on my glass top stove. BTW, here is a trick. Most of my pots are flat bottomed and I do have a ceramic cooktop. I have some copper bottom pots that are not flat on the bottom which do not work well, but use a trick to get them to work faster. If you wet the bottom of the pan before you put it on the stove the water will turn to steam and efficently transfer heat from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the pan. The steam condenses on the bottom of the pan and then drips back to the cooktop surface to boil away again. I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool.

I have a Samsung glass top slide in stove that I use these on. They have a smooth bottom so they won't scratch the top. I love this set. It cooks evenly and while you will get some sticking like with scrambled eggs etc they are easy to clean. Soak them in hot water for a few minutes then use a sponge for stainless Steele so you don't scratch the surface and a little bit of Bar Keepers Friend and they clean spotless and quickly.

I believe because the heat of the burner could cause the cookware to stick to the glass...now personally though I had a glass top and used my pans on the burners and they never cemented to the glass ..just use judgement and not leave pots on high heat ...not good for bottom of pans anyway...love my granite ware they wash up so good even when I burned stuff..

Yes I have a glass top stove and there great but remember they hold the heat much better than other pans and will boil over

We have a "glass top" stove and these pans sit flat when cold and stay flat up thru normal cooking temperatures. We have had the skillet a little over a year.
