Can this be used on a glass top stove?

I doubt it. Glass stove tops tend to scratch, and this product is made of cast iron. I don't own a glass top stove; I use it for a gas stove. Better ask the manufacturer!

Sorry, I use mine on gas and I do not know the answer. This is all I could find on their website - "Save energy and cook food quicker with out Energy Saver/Flame Protector. It cooks more quickly by dispersing heat from gas burners evenly."

It says right in the description "For use on gas stoves only." If you damage your cook surface (as others have with similar products) is it going to be worth it? I wouldn't try it.

Yes, we routinely use this heat diffuser on a ceramic-top range to provide even heating to iron skillets. Place the diffuser on a cold element and, to protect yourself and the ceramic top, do not attempt to remove the diffuser after use until it has completely cooled. Hope this helps.

I use mine on a gas stove with the typical 'grates' underneath so I can't comment from experience. But if you can cook in a large aluminum pot on top of your glass I can't see why the Kuhn can't be placed there as well- it won't warp or crack I can promise you that. But doesn't your glass stove top distribute heat well enough already that the using a Kuhn is superfluous? Just curious. With gas there is a definite heat pattern to contend with so the Kuhn is perfect for evening out that pattern and controlling heat intensity.

I'm sure you can, even though I don't have a glass cooktop. It should work just as well as it does on my electric burners. Make sure you don't turn the heat up too high, though.

Yes. I cook on a glass stovetop and it works well. Do keep your temperatures lower to avoid spillovers and burning.

I use mine on a glass stovetop and it's great. It doesn't scratch the top and vice versa.

I really don't know but I would suspect the cast iron might scratch the glass top.... I'd just check with the manufacture of the stove about using any cast iron on the surface.

I don't have a glass cooktop but my mom does. I think the cooking would turn out fine, but there is a huge danger of cracking your glass when placing or setting this on the glass because it is pretty heavy. I probably wouldn't use this on glass.

I wouldn't use it on a glass cooktop as I believe these pans are not complete flat on the bottom. There is a large indent in the middle so it would not heat evenly.

Yes, they can be used on a glasstop stove. I use mine all the time. As Terry Vaughn said do not slide them on the stove top or drop them. Use common sense and care of your stove.

I have used it on oven interior-enamel and the glass panel of the oven. I do not know about glass top stoves.

Yes! I absolutely love this pan! Works great on the glass top stove but you don't need as much heat as other pans so remember to keep it set lower.

I do not know. I've used it carefully on my glass stovetop and it was no problem. It is big and heavy and we usually use it on our grill for pancake breakfast on the deck.

You can use it on a glass top stove, but you would have to be very careful not to scratch the glass surface. The pot is heavy by itself and filled with a stew becomes heavier.

Yes. I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Just be prepared to cleanup any extra batter that might overflow as you get used to filling it with the correct amount (or be more careful than I was when first starting out with how much you use). :)

Yes, you can use this item on a glass top surface which was designed to be a part of a cook stove.

According to the description, yes, you can use it on "smooth top" stoves. Which is another name for glass top stoves. I use this canner on my glass top and have had no problems. I use the big burner and once pressure is achieved, I have to turn the heat down to medium low to maintain the pressure. Do not slide the canner across your top, you could scratch the glass, but that goes for any skillet or pot you use.

Yes, it can be used on a glass cooktop, and a regular electric spiral cooktop. I have done both without any issue.

I'm pretty sure it can. As long as you are using gas burners, then I don't see why you can't use it on your glass stove.
