I have a glass top stove & want to use a cast iron pan (not recommended. 1) will your Stove tamer work? Will it scratch the glass?

I use cast iron on my glass top stove all the time with no problems. Just dont slide it around or drop the pan on it and it will be fine

No, the Stove Tamer is intended to spread out the flame from a gas stove, to avoid "hot spot" burning inside the pan when cooking. I think it might damage a glass top stove; I wouldn't take the chance.

I wouldn't try it because you will still have metal to glass contact. You can use ceramic coated cast iron on a glass cooktop. We use a ceramic coated Dutch oven on ours with no problems. Hope this helps.

I would go with what the manufacturer says. It could possibly scratch the glass top and not work properly with electric heat. It is designed for a gas stove to evenly distribute the heat from the flame

Because it is cast iron, I feel that it would work on glass top but might scratch it.

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.

I would not use it on a glass cooktop. Cast iron gets very hot, and excessive heat can damage your cooktop. Also, the pot is very heavy and it will could scratch it if you drag the pot on it. It can be used in the oven. But, to be completely sure, I suggest doing an internet search on this subject. You will find all the correct information to make an informed decision.

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

The drawback would be possible scratching the glasstop.Cast Iron is the Swiss Army knife of cookware.

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 would try a small corner. It works on enamel stoves. I use it on Aga cookers and it does not scratch! I have been using Astonish for 18years.

I use it on my glass cooktop stove with no problem, but if you have concerns about induction, you might want to go to www.lodge.com and find a phone number to call and ask Lodge about induction cooktops.

Never tried it but my water softener guy told me to get cleaner for glass stove tops. It shouldn't scratch porcelain. I will try it soon myself.

I never tried it on a glass top stove, but I don't think it would matter. Heat is heat.

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.

Cast iron always has the possibility to scratch a glass top stove. While we certainly love our pots that we purchased, we are careful when moving the pots around on our glass stove top. We only cook in cast Iron with the exception of the stainless steel electric skillet. These pots are not seasoned so keep that in mind if you decide to purchase these. As for popping popcorn, I just use one of the popcorn poppers tat has a blower and you catch the popcorn in a bowl. I still feel that is still the best, healthiest, and an option that does not have all the additives. Up to you but would not just buy this to pop popcorn.

This pot was bought as a gift for my daughter who does not have a glass ceramic stove top. The pot came wrapped in plastic so I did not check out the bottom of it. I have a ceramic stove top and the pans that I have that have grooves in them have not scratched my cooktop. Don't know if my answer will be of any help to you.

I don't know but it has such a slow heating process that it should work. I had to turn the flame up pretty high to get it to slowly heat a cast iron pot and an anodized pan so it should work with glass if you control the heat. It does discolor but I expected that. I originally bought it for ceramic cookware because it was recommended so Pyrex type glass shouldn't be a problem. I haven't had the chance to try it for the ceramic yet. Hope this helps.

The Stove Tamer is not ferromagnetic, so it won't work on an induction stovetop. Do you like using an induction stovetop? I always thought they were a good idea but have not seen one in action.
