How well do they work on a glass stove top and are they really flat on the bottom which is required for my new cook top, Thank you.

I use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

Yes, they work great on a glass stove top. The only issue I have noticed is that on some of the lids on the pots tend to get hot.

I also have a glass cooktop and this set is great. Yes, the cookware is flat on the bottom and the heat is evenly distributed. Clean up is great as well. I have other cookware, but, I use this most often. Hope this answers your question about making this purchase. I highly recommend it.

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

they do not have a completely flat bottom, the middle bottom of the pan will not touch the stove surface so it is not likely that these would work well on an Induction stove! The induction stoves must have perfectly flat bottomed pots and pans to make good connection and these pans will not do that!

Cheryl. I know these are the best you can get for a glasstop stove, however I myself would be hesitant to use them on gas burners, I would be afraid they would dicolor. I would be afraid to purchase them for that but zI have no proof that what I think is true. Reading other reviews customers say they are great. All in all this is the best set of cookware ever but I personally would not use them on a gas top--I have nothing to support that though.

Yes they are safe to use on a glass top stove as I have a GE glass cooktop and have been using these for years. We liked them so much we purchased them for our daughter in law.

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

We currently have a smooth glass top stove and this set works just fine on it. I am not certain what the manufacture recommends, but I cannot see any reason why they wouldn't recommend it for use on such tops.

I used only on gas stove but they seem to be not so heavy so I think they are ok to use on glass top.

I do not have a glass top stove, but there would be no reason they could not be used on such

Yes they are safe for glass top stove. I love this set. Its one of the best quality sets I have ever owned. I was afraid of it scratching my top but they work great.

I have had no issues with using them on flat top electric stoves. Just have to use a lower temp.

I honestly do not know personally because I have a gas stove. But I read a review when I bought mine from a customer that said he had to return them because he had a glass top stove and they didn't work. I'm sorry this is all I can offer you for help. GOOD LUCK. They are very, very nice pans though.

I have a glass top stove and these pans do very well. There was no warning with either the cookware or the stove manufacture that there would be any problems. Use the cookwar oa any stove top and enjoy!

No, the bottoms are not completely flat. They seem to work OK on my glass top stove though...The recess is maybe 1/8" or so...

According to manufacturers instructions they are not safe, nor recommended for use on glass top stoves. The imperfections in the porcelain can scratch your glass top and if they boil over can also cause your glass cook top to fuse.

I use with a gas stove but believe they would be safe on a glass top but don't know for sure

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.
