Looking for heat diffuser to use on a ceramic/glass stove top with a cast iron skillet, to protect the glass from any seasoning on skillet bottom.

My advice is to use one INDUCTION adaper like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJCOUN0 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GFSLDVG ( are on the way to arrive in FBA ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HEQDYXI/ ( also on the way ) They are made of Stainless Steel perfectly flat and can be a solution for your case.

I am just now looking at this and contemplating purchasing it. However, I use my cast iron skillets on my glass top stove ALL the time and they work perfectly. The only criteria is that the pan be flat on the bottom, and this appears to be the case for this griddle as with all the other Lodge pans. I can't see any difference between using this and using my cast iron frying pans. My stovetop has the "bridge burner" feature which heats two burners plus the space between the burners, so this should be perfect for that.

If by 'reduction cooktop' you mean the 'glass cooktop', then yes. I use a glass cooktop and have always used cast iron skillets on the burners. I take care not to set them down hard, of course. I do find you can use lower temps with those. Amazon sells silicone handles for these too.

I did not see one. I did check consumer reports and they did not have a recommendation either. I just purchased a T-Fal griddle pan to try. Hoping it works well. It states it is ok on glass tops and makes contact across the two burners.

Hi, I believe for the gas stove you should use a special metal protector over the flame. I think some little metal part came with this teapot, but maybe it was with another teapot, it looked something like that http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Fitz-All-Stove-Top-Heat-Diffuser-2-Pack-Grids-For-Use-on-Electric-or-Gas-Ranges-/311061690173?pt=Kitchen_Tools_Gadgets&hash;=item486cb8b73d I can't be sure, as I don't need it and I throw these away, I have an electric ceramic stovetop. I never boil water on 'high' setting, only on medium or medium-high if I'm in a hurry :)

When I got this product, I didnt know what heat diffuser is and how to use it. I did a little research and found out that you use the heat diffuser if you're using electic burner. The electric burner gets hot super crazy and so you have to put the heat diffuser on top of it, and then on top of that you put your glass kettle. Yes you use the heat diffuser underneath between your glass pot/ kettle and the electric burner. The heat diffuser is used so that your glass pot doesn't directly touch the electric burner. It protects it. Using heat diffuser can evenly distribute the heat. It really doesn't make sense if the heat diffuser goes inside the pot while boiling water.

Try using some of the stuff used for the ceramic (or glass) stove tops and a scouring pad. Good luck ! ! !

I have this Lodge Logic griddle/grill which is caste iron and very heavy. I have a gas cook top with caste iron grates. I do not think it will work on a glass top as it will scratch the surface and possibly crack it if you were not careful laying it down.

Cast iron works on induction burners so this comal will work. Be careful not to scratch your stovetop though. If the bottom of the pan is rough then it could scratch it if you move it around. I have read of people using a sheet of parchment paper, paper towel, newspaper and even a silicon baking liner between the pan and burner to prevent this. All claim that it won't catch on fire. Here is a forum talking about it. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/912355

I would not. That would be a question for the folks at Lodge, however, I use my cast iron skillets outside on open fire and different types of grills. No problem. I would be fearful that it might scar my glass top range. I am not the authority on the cookware, however, I sure enjoy using it out by our pool and on camping trips.

I used the Porc a Fix for the edge (framework) of my black cook top stove, not the glass part itself. I am not sure if that would be even safe but you might want to check with a windshield repair place if it is the glass itself, otherwise I would be concerned that the heat and cooling will crack the glass further. If it is not the glass itself, but the framing around it, this stuff works great!

I'm going to suggest a no. On the underside it sits on a corrugated ring, which actually works perfectly to keep it in place on my gas stove burner grates and for me it works beautifully. But I have to think that each point of the corrugation would possibly scratch a glass stove top. More so than the bottom of the cast iron pan would. I am a member of a Facebook group called Cast Iron Cooking. Many folks on there use cast iron on their glass top stoves successfully. You just have to be careful not to slide the pan (scratches) or drop it (heavy and could break the glass). But in my estimation this diffuser is just not designed for a glass top.

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.

This is from the Lodge FAQ web page: What heat sources can Lodge products utilize? Lodge products may be used on various heat sources including gas, electric, induction and ceramic/glass top stoves and ovens. Seasoned Cast Iron can also be used on the grill or for camp cooking. Microwaves should not be used. Do not to drop cookware on the stovetop or slide across the surface. Begin heating cookware on low and slowly bring heat up to medium or medium/high. Always remove cookware from the stovetop after cooking. We recommend that you refer to your stove/range manufacturer's owner manual for more information regarding ceramic/glass top stovetop requirements. So the answer would be yes, but dependent on the advise of your stove's manufacturer, possibly due to a warranty issue.

It is recommended to use these clay cookers with a diffuser over any heat source. I got one from Amazon when I purchased the tagine. Absolutely love this cooker!!!

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.
