I have a Gas Range, with a Grate Top... How does this pans bottom hold up. My last All Clad, had deep cuts in the metal over time.

I have a gas range with grate tops and my All Clad has held up very well. My grates are porcelain clad and the pan bottom has, on occasion had light scratches which are easily remedied with Bar Keepers Friend which I use to clean the interior and exterior of the pan. I've used All Clad for years and have never had "deep cuts" in my pans.

I have the same situation, gas range with grate top. I have only had this pan 6 months or so and so far so good.

so far no cuts in the pan ,I also have a gas stove . I use the pan at least 4 nights a week. a friend of mine is a chef and when she comes over to cook she can't wait to use it, better that the ones in her restaurant .

So far I have had no problems. Still as new as ever, and I have a gas range with grills.

I bought this pan to use on my son's new 'glass top' stove and there wasn't a problem. It worked very well and heated evenly. The bottom was flat.

I found this in the description, Kenneth, "Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges." I have a smooth top electric range, but it's not induction, so it works just fine. I think this particular pan is just not designed to work with the induction ranges.

I don' have a glass top, I use gas. I Have this pan in two sizes and have been using them for a couple of years and use them often. Never had a problem. I Use them for frying, braising, casseroles,steaming. They are so versatile.

I've tried this on a gas range with pieces of lamb and bone-in chicken thighs. It's worked just fine and the rutted bottom of the inner pot prevents the pot from slipping on the range.

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

My wife has had it for about 6 months now and loves using it weekly for broth stock, and other recipes. She boils the water with the inner pot on our gas range then puts the pot into the outer pot as instructed. We've not had any issues with the using the inner pot on the gas range.

I use it on a smooth top range, works well, sure you could use it on a gas range as well. It is very heavy full of soup make sure you have help moving it when full:)

I have only used it on a gas range and it does good there. I can only guess it would work well on ceramic stovetop. Maybe another Amazon user can help you with that. It is a nice looking sturdy pan with good heavy lid and handle, cooks good and cleans up easily and a bargain price.

I agree with Barbara. This is a lightweight pan, not designed for serious use. I've had this pan for less than 2 months and plan to purchase a replacement that is reliable.This one sure can't cut it.

Yes, it works fine on gas or electric ranges, but never cook higher than medium or it kills the coating. I usually preheat it 2 minutes before adding pancake batter on it.

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.

Why would you think this pan would damage your cooktop any more than any other flat bottomed pan? Although, I have a gas cooktop. I have had this pan for several months and use it all the time without any problems.

If I recall the bottom of those grills don't get that hot... The plastic on this table is very strong.. I would bet it would withstand the typical heat from a gas stove like a Colman heater!

After more than 30 years cooking on standard round bottom woks I just shifted to this one to accommodate my new cook top. I have used the wok many times in the last few months and have not burned anything. I am cooking with the controls set a little lower than on my old cook top, but that's because the multi-ply clad bottom retains heat once the wok heats so you don't have to set the stove as high. As to sticking, I also have not had a problem with that, although I would caution you to season this just like you would any other metallic cooking surface wok. I have found this to be an excellent product. After more than 30 years cooking on standard round bottom woks I just shifted to this one to accommodate my new cook top.

I have used it for a few months and it has not warped. I do wash it by hand and it is easy to keep clean. I also have a gas range which I know can be a little harder on pans than electric and it's been fine.

I don't have those but I would think that would damage the pan. Also, I have a gas range so I'm no help. Sorry.
