If it is a ceramic stove here is the answer I Googled for you.Can All-Clad cookware be used on a ceramic range?Yes. In fact, All-Clad is one of the best choices for this type of range since our cookware is balanced and the contact surfaces are smooth (the exceptions are our grill pans). The bonded construction and superior heat distribution help prevent scorching, which can be a problem with this style of stovetop when using other brands of cookware. Betty

The Owner's Manual states: "NEVER place or straddle a cooking pot or utensil over 2 different surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture." I've found that the burners aren't very picky about pot sizes; best practices would be to use a pan/pot with a bottom not more than 1/2 inch larger than the max size markings, or less than 1/2 inch smaller than the min size markings.

I don't know the answer to this. I have a gas stove top but I remember using my old pans in the past on ceramic. Not sure if it is the same.

Yes it can. It has a flat bottom and is marked for use on glass-ceramic stovetops and induction stove tops. We have a glass top stove and it works great.

I don't know if it can be used on a ciramic cook top, check your stove's manual, it should say. I use it on a gas cook top all the time and have no problem. That said, although I like Grosche, I would choose a different spout style as this pot has poring issues if the pot is full. I only fill it 2/3, no more.

I don't think I would try it. If the cooktop is Induction then it will work well, if its regular electric or infrared then it won't work as well. The bigger problem is that this is a rough casting and I'd be concerned that over time the smooth glass/ceramic cooktop would get scratched. The grill pan also gets a little oily, which could transfer to the cooktop resulting in you having to clean any spots that burn. I think that if you are super careful it would probably work, but I worry about that beautiful, clean cooktop being defaced in some way.

Yes, we use it on our ceramic glass cooktop. Agree with other writer about it cracking if placed while hot on a cool surface. That's how we lost our first visions.

We have a ceramic cooktop (electric stove) ..... so don't know the difference between ours and yours.It works great with ours! (The best fry pan that we have ever found.)

I thought it was just the procelain set that can't be used on ceramic stoves. Now that's ONLY if the phone rings or something, and you leave it on the stovetop for an hour and over heat it, but it ain't worth risking a $1000 stove. The hard anodized one says right in the description that it's okay for ceramic cooktops.

Yes. I've had no problem using it on my ceramic cooktop. It won't scratch or damage the surface.Lois

I use mine on a ceramic cooktop on the largest heat surface. It works for me, but make sure you have a burner large enough to accommodate the pan's circumference.

Yes, I use my insert on my ceramic cooktop all the time! The only thing that is a little difficult is that the insert is oblong, which makes heating it evenly all the way to the corners a touch difficult, so I make sure to keep my veggies I'm sauteeing centered over the burner.

I use this pan almost daily on my ceramic cook top. Just be careful to lift not slide, and never drop of course.

I have a ceramic topped stove and we just received this pan so I haven't used it. There are several warnings in the pamphlet included with the pan regarding ceramic topped stoves. It states that "overheating or allowing (porcelain enamel) to boil dry can make these pans fuse to the surface of the glass top ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cook top". My husband says to "go for it", but I do worry about the heat required to stir fry. The pan rated highly, but I am a little worried.

Yes I use it in my Fridgidaire Electrolux ceramic top and all went well. I cooked salmon topped with shrimp and it was de-li-cious! I used the large front burner set at 4.5. I hope this will help you :-)

We use ours on the ceramic stove top without issue, it's not perfectly flat as it has 3 ridged circles but they do not seem to present an issue associated with ceramics. The top opening could be gotten into with a very small hand but most likely not, it is however large enough for any common scrub brush.
