can I use my 7qt. cast iron dutch oven on my stovetop that is glass?

I don't know. I don't know why it would be a problem. The dutch oven is heavy, but I think as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter that the cook top is glass. Maybe there is something about glass stove tops in the literature that comes with the product, or maybe with the glass top stove.

The literature that comes with Lodge cast iron says it's suitable for glass cooktops, but warns not to slide the cookware. That makes sense, because cast iron is very heavy. I use my cast iron on my glass cooktop and have had no problems, but I'm very careful to set it down gently, and I try not to slide any kind of cookware on it to avoid scratches.Cast iron retains heat a long time, so take care to not use too high a heat setting, as it won't cool back down as quickly as other pots do. You might want to try a slightly lower heat setting than you normally use at first.

Yes. Set the heat just a bit lower and lift, don't slide the pan on the cook top.

You certainly can, but this is a heavy piece of cookware so you probably don't want to slam it down, and you should lift it to move it rather than slide it around to avoid scratching your cooking surface.

Good question. Unfortunately, I have a gas stove. I'm unfamiliar with requirements of glass top stoves.

sorry, we do not recommend it for glass top stoves. Have to have a totally flat bottom (not like a skillet but at least 5 to 6" diameter flattened bottom and direct contact with the burner). A flat bottom wok, Joyce Chen pre seasoned cast-iron wok will wok beautifully. Thank you. The Wok Shop

The stove is quite stable. No problem with pots and skillets. I've even used 4 gallon pots without problem, so a dutch oven should be fine.

If it is tempered glass, yes. I keep mine on the stove over unused burners and pull things from the oven setting them right on it. Hope this helps.

I have never used a cast iron griddle on a glass top stove and I do not think I would without talking to a Lodge Logic representative or someone that sells glass top stoves. I use mine on a gas stove, outside with a propane burner or on the grill.

We don't have the answer to that question. Suggest you check with the manufacturer. Have never used on a glass top stove. Good Luck.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

no. it gets too hot for the glass. It can break your stovetop glass. Same with cast iron pots.

Absolutely ! It is usually a 6-8 qt La Creuset or Staub enameled cast iron pot that I am using. No problem at all !

You can, but it's NOT recommended. The reason why is because there is always the risk of picking up the grill/griddle and accidentally dropping and cracking the glass or even worse shattering it. Minimal damage even scratch the glass which can really hurt the heating element. Another note I've heard that the glass cooktops don't evenly distribute the heat with cast iron, I've only heard it neve witnessed it since I have gas range. If you do use it on the glass top, try, try, and try not to move it at all which will hard when flipping stuff and sautéing on it. I don't recommend using it on the glass top.

No, I don't think I would use cast iron on a glass top stove. I think it would scratch.

The modern aluminum Dutch ovens are more often used for stovetop use only. The reason is because aluminum does not hold the heat as well as cast iron. You can still place them in the oven, but you will need to check them more often to make sure your food is cooking to the right consistency.Most dutch ovens are aluminum and though they can cook in an oven they are really made for the stove top. The cast iron utensils work much better in oven and distributing the heat more evenly, resulting in a moister dish and less chance of burning.

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.

I'm not sure about a dutch oven, but we have a 12 inch cast iron skillet, and the whole set up (with skillet) was very solid. Actually, a dutch oven is probably also okay. It's very stable.

I have a glass stove and cast iron pans, they work great together, no issues at all.
