Why can't I use my 12 qt Granite Ware stockpot on my flat top stove? I like the stockpot and don't want to return it.

The elements inside the pot will melt and the bottom of the pot will fused itself to the glassware eye of the stove

You could but, if it were me I would not. The heat from an open fire could possibly cause the granite porcelain to shatter off of the pot. Best to go with cast iron or copper.

I think the company that made the stove is the one to answer your question ..as you can or can not put in your stove, use the pot on gas and electric stoves and my food is tasty good, I am happy with my pot I recommend it

No, I ordered this guy along with a 20 qt stockpot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083876R6/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The saucepan lid fits well on the smaller skillet; however, the larger lid (for the stock pot) does not fit the larger skillet. I discovered this recently when making a one-dish meal in the larger skillet that required covering and simmering. I had to improvise. Not sure if the skillet lid is available in open stock...that's my next idea.

I really cannot answer that question accurately, I don't have a flat top stove, but I love, love this product. I only purchased the prepackaged set, and I need to get a few extra pieces, but I am very happy with that I have.

I think "can not" is too strong. The product description says "you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove." That's because of the delicate porcelain finish. My mother has used similar on her glasstop burner for decades with no harm done to either the pot or the burner.

I just have a regular electric stove - however, I can't imagine why it couldn't be, since it has the flat bottom - just like any other pot or pan.

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

I believe any pot with a flat bottom will work on this type of cooktop. I have this pan and use it.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

I looked up double burner cook top online, and the way it looks to me, as long as it is a flat surface, it should be fine. That's just my opinion. It is up to you to try it. If it doesn't work, then send it back.

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.

If you remove the wire bail handle, you might have trouble handling the pot, because the remaining handles are small.Lodge makes an identical Dutch oven with two big loop handles on the sides instead of the wire bail handle. Trade yours in for that model instead, or buy a new one and give yours to a friend who will enjoy it.

I have two sets of revere ware. I've been married 44 years and bought them when I got married...so they are old. At home I don't have a 1 1/2 qt pot but I may have one at the cottage. I have an extra 2 qt lid though as I bought one for a lid that was missing only to find it later. If I have a 1 1/2 qt pot at the cottage I will see if the 2 qt lid fits.
