Does this skillet really weigh 19 pounds, as it shows in this description? Also, can it be used on glass ceramic cooktops?

does not weigh 19 pounds, less than 5 pounds. Good typical skillet, don't know if it can be used on a glass ceramic cooktop.

I have this pan and it is not so heavy as cast Iron. I have had carpal tunnel surgeries in both my hands so cannot lift heavy things. But this pan is very sturdy. Works very well. Romascatering

I purchased a 14" skillet from Cuisinart through Amazon. My pan, when heated on my glass top FLAT stove, gets concave (which means a bump on the bottom). Hence it rocks back and forth and doesn't make total contact with the heat source. Dealing with a return through Cuisinart has been a bit of a nightmare. They want to look at it and evaluate it and I have to pay shipping one way. My 30 day return window with Amazon had lapsed when I started noticing this. It's a huge pan and I didn't use it that often. This pan returns to a flat state when it cools!!!

This pot definitely does not weigh 13 pounds. That must be a misprint. The shipping weight is more accurate.

This is an excellent pan that I use all the time. I don't know the weight of the pan alone, however, Cuisinart lists the shipping weight for the entire unit as 7 pounds. I would guess it to be about 4 pounds.

hi. i bought the iron to be a "purist." it's too heavy for everyday use, and if you try to lift the skillet with the iron lid on it, you'll need a helper! go for the glass!

It is great on a glass top stove. I have a glass top and this cookware does not scratch it at all. You can boil, use stove on high setting and no harm at all. It is the only cookware I will use on such a delicate stovetop. Don"t be afraid to use this--but as the other reviewer says--the non-stick coating comes off way too easily even when extremely careful.

I'm away from home right now so can't tell you the exact weight - but can say that it is a very heavy pan, and both my wife and I are guessing it is well over 5 lbs. it is a great pan for sautes and stir fries, but cannot be held for more than a moment with one hand.

Just don't move it / shake it - it will / does scratch a glass cooktop. (I know from personal experience.)

I don't know but this and other cast iron skillets are heavy. If dragged across a glass cooktop I would imagine it could leave scratches.

I weighed ours on our bathroom scale 3 times...7#. Definitely not light-weight, but speaks well for the even heating of the cookware.

I just got mine in the mail ... I would say that if you put this pot on a glass cooktop ... you would not have even weight distribution across the bottom of the pan. This is not a perfectly flat milled bottom on the pot. This is not an encapsulated bottom. The bottom of the pot is no thicker than the sides. This is a bonus for my intended purpose but if you are looking for something milled flat that will stay flat forever ... this may not be what you are looking for.

Most of the answers here are wrong. This item weighs 19.05oz. Verified on two of my scales.

Since I don't own this pan anymore I would be hesitant to say. You could probably send an e-mail to AllClad and ask them. Give specific model #s so they don't confuse it with the 5-Ply skillet. Sorry

Not sure how you'd measure that, but it's definitely a thicker/heavier base than standard skillets that you'd find at the store for a similar price. I use this pan frequently to make dairy-based sauces and gravies, and they never stick or burn as they would with a thinner-based pan.

It is fairly heavy. It is as good as most steel cookware, maybe heavier. Used it on a gas stove.

Sorry to be so late in answering! Yes, I use mine on a glass top stove and the bottom is smooth. It is a heavy skillet and since this is my 2nd one, I have never had a problem with burning. Hope this helps.
