Can this be used on an electric stove burner? Some of the reviews seem to suggest it's only for gas stoves

I was wondering the same thing, although I cannot imagine there being a problem with this on an electric stove, here is another reference:http://fabulouskitchenstuff.com/fabulous-heat-diffusers-for-an-electric-stove/

The diffuser itself cannot be damaged by temperatures below white hot... However it is possible for the diffuser to create cold spots on the heating elements that could shorten their lives... So, we suggest caution. The family engineer

The ILS printed box description refers to gas burners, but nowhere did I find any instruction that the diffuser should NOT be used on an electric burner. I would think that ILS would provide a warning or cautionary note if the diffuser is only for gas burners.

I have used heat diffusers for years but only gas. They are very good at distributing an even heat, which your electric does automatically. I have never known any one who used them on an electric stove and don't believe they will fit on the burners.

I've read that these can damage electric burners. I'm surprised that the description doesn't say that it's for gas stoves only.

Yes. It can be used on a 1 burner propane stove. I use it on my Camp Chef Expedition 3X all the time when camping, and also on the propane stove in my VW Westfalia vanagon camper And no, it can not be used on an electric stove in the home.

Because it is curved on the bottom, I don't think it would work very well on an electric stove. Only part of the bottom would contact the heating element. We use it on a gas stove and the flame comes up to contact it evenly on the bottom.

Yes, I think so. I have an electric stove with electric burners and it works fine. I imagine it would work similarly on an electric cook top.

Sorry I cannot answer this enquiry to this query, as I have only ever used my on a gas stove or electric.

I have never used it on a gas stove. Only electric. But it does tend to get extremely hot on the underside. Use extra caution.

I believe in the ad for this product it said that it could be used with gas or electric stoves. I would suggest, however, going to the manufacturer's website and checking. Item is Chefmaster KTGR5 13-inch grill pan.

I don't have that type of stove so I can only answer for my old electric 4 burner stove. Sorry!

I would imagine that they know what they're talking about. It works well on my gas stove, but I wouldn't want to try it on an electric if the manufacturer says not to.

If its a gas stove I can see why not but I don't think it would work well on a electric stove

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

Bought this for my son he has gas stove but I thought it could be used on either. You may want to get some type o diffuser to put on the electric element. May help. Sorry best info I have.

I use it indoors on gas. Have not tried on an electric burner. I imagine the element will head the metal and the metal will distribute the heat, though as is the case with electric burners all around, probably not as well.

Yes, you can. I do have gas stove in my house either. It works just fine on electric cooktop.

Hello Gabriel, I called the company and they said it can definitely be used on a gas or electric burner on a stove top. Most people use it that way to make gravy after roasting something in the oven. Also, it can be used as a smoker in the oven. I am using it on the stove top as a smoker, like the Camerons smoker. I smoke for 20 minutes on top then put this in the oven.

I use it on an electric stove and it works fine. Just put on the smaller burner.
