I cracked it on an electric stove so has might be worse. Yes it should be seasoned. Problem with these low-fired clay units is that you really cannot crank up the heat to brown the meat. I wound up buying a bigger high-fire tagine by Henri.

I used it on a glass top stove. Yes. I soaked it and baked per the instructions. It works great but you must season it. Food luck.

No problems with using this pot on a gas stove. That is exactly how I do it. It's usually a low flame. Yes, we did season it before the first use. I can't remember how. We googled instructions and it worked perfectly. We really love our Tagine Pot - it's also a topic of conversation when we use it with guests.

I have used this both on a gas and electric stove and it works GREAT!! However, I use bamboo or wooden skewers along the bottom to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom. We have cooked beef, chicken, and lamb along with vegetables and everytime it has been amazing. Takes me back to Sefrou, Maroc :-)

You can use the tagine on a gas stove,but you will need to purchase a diffuser. This sit between the heat source and the Tagine. I soaked it in cold water for two hour before use, and seasoned it with extra virgin olive oil. Remember do not stir the food in the Tagine,

Hi,Even though it is glazed, I seasoned mine - googled to learn how....may not have been necesssary, but I did not want to take any chances! I have a gas stove and using low heat with a heat diffuser under my tagine has worked for me. Diffusers are cheap and available all over Amazon!

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

Yes it must be seasoned prior to use. Go to the BeBuyer website and it has a video showing how to properly season the pan. Once properly seasoned it should be good to go for just about anything. I use it regularly for eggs, pancakes etc., my daughter uses hers regularly for crepes and both my daughters use them for pancakes.

I haven't used it on a gas stove, but I haven't had a problem with oil on both sides as I wiped off oil residue before turning over to work on the other side.

It has some kind of nonstick coating. Dunno if it's Teflon or not but it works well. I don't know what you mean by pre-seasoned, but it's not cast iron so my guess is no. It has a bare (silver) aluminum base where you can use it on stovetop. I occasionally use it in this way but my primary use for it is as a sous-vide vessel with the Dorkfood Sous Vide controller.

I have a gas stove on which I use it regularly, but I did use it once at my brother's home on an electric stove top, and it worked fine with no damage.

I use it on a gas stove. I love how large, light and easy to clean it is.Have you tried calling the manufacturer with your question?

Yes, I use it on my gas stove. I don't even bother putting it away since we use it everyday for one food or another. Love it!

Manufacturer does not state that it can be used on the stove. In my opinion because of its' special construction you could try it on a gas stove if you are really careful, low flame setting and room temperature when placing on the stove. I have not tried this yet, but I've been tempted to do it using the above precautions. I would use it to reheat, not to cook a dish from the very beginning.

I have used gas on my pan. The cook top might get scratchy as this pan is cast iron and very heavy with grooves on the underside. If you don't care about that then I would fire it up and grill a steak, or salmon...I would wipe down the underside of the pan from any oils that you have used to cure it tho...

The main enemy of this type of cookware is high heat. Since gas flame is cooler than an electric element, you should be OK.

Yes, I think it should be fine. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems.

I have a gas range and I always use it on the stove top before I put it in it's base and it works great. It doesn't matters what your heat source is because the bottom of it is just like a skillet.

I put the oil on the pan to season it as the instructions suggest, and baked it in the oven upside down on a paper towel (to catch the drippings). I seasoned it a second time. It worked well - I did leave it in there a little longer than suggested. To clean it, I just use a paper towel - the seasoning makes a finish similar to teflon coating.

I bake in mine - in the oven. I have not tried it on gas stove but have used it on the outdoor grill would guess the gas stove would be similar. I have baked small round loafs of bread and used it on the grill for pork and beans.

I didn't season mine and it's fine. But always use oil when frying/sauteeing; it's not really non-stick. Also, do not put in the dishwasher. And be advised: It is not real ceramic; it's a plastic polymer-coated pan. The coating is "safe", but if it's scratched, throw it away because the layer under the coating contains lead and other heavy toxic metals such as cadmium. Most of the reviews/research I have read say its usage life is about a year. Good luck.

You really should season it first. Even if they say it's preseasoned, I think the surface benefits from seasoning by the user. Only the Lodge products really seem to be cooking ready.
