can i put the cover on when the burners are still hot? Can it be used on a glass cook top?

I wouldn't on either question. Just because of scratching on your glass top.

Its made from Stainless steel so you could use it on a hot burner top if you need to..but it might damage the paint finish eventually..as far as a glass top is concerned.. id place something between like felt rounds on corners. I hope this helps. I'm very happy with mine.

No you are not to do that you must let them cool first and it will scratch a glass top unless it fits over the sides.

I purchased this item for my rv. It folds back over the burners but I have never pulled it back over them while they are hot. I don't know how it would fit over a regular stove or glass tops. I really like the item and it is well made.

I have a glass/ceramic stove top and we leave the glass covers on top of the stove when we use the Oven. There has been no problem.

I would assume you can use it on top if the stove to brown/sear as it is steel and a heavy sturdy pan. It is 16 inches long, so much of the pan will not be over the burner.

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.

Not sure if they will work on a glass cook top. My recommendation would be to only use them on an open fire. That's likely the only place they are any good. Crappy product.

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.

No, I could not recommend the pot on a glass cook top. I think it would move and be very annoying.

I think it would work fine just as long as you don't turn on the burners beneath. Would work best on a glass top stove. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend it. I had this cover on my stovetop and turned the oven on, forgetting I had it on there, duh. After about 15 minutes it got very warm and when I realized what I had done, there is a small indentation on the area that the oven heat comes out. So, I would not recommend you putting a hotplate on it.

Quoting from my booklet--"can be used on the rangetop, in the oven or microwave, or under the broiler (without cover). Can be used for cooking, serving, refrigerating, freezing, reheating, and thawing." "DO NOT place cover directly on a rangetop burner, under a broiler, under a microwave browning element, or in a toaster over." If any other information is needed, please get in touch with me again and I can quote from the booklet. Something else--"DO NOT use to make candy or caramelize sugar; these cool at different rates from the cookware and may cause it to break." "Visions cookware works best on top of the range with foods which are stirred, sauteed, or have liquid as a cooking medium."

My travel trailer's stove has gas burners. The cover sits right on top of the grate covering the burners.

My stove is a glass top and I have had no trouble however, I am not a glass stove top expert so I would refer to your user's manual for guidance.

Yes. It is metal and would not scratch the surface of the glass top and it would diffuse the heat. It is really effective for simmering on gas burners without burning the bottom materials in the pan

I would say No. It's made of a pretty durable plastic,similar to a hard plastic cutting board.It has several little legs on the bottom (approx 1" or so high) that allows it to rest abovethe burners. I'm pretty sure a hot burner would damage it. Hope this helps

There is no reason this cannot be used on a glass stove top. Cooks evenly. I love my grill pan and use it almost every night.

I don't have a glass top (I have electric) so I've not tried, but the recommendation from the manufacture indicate the cookware should not be used on glass tops. And, the bottom of the pans are coated in the same material as the sides.

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.
