Can I use this on my glass top stove after I turn off the burner, while still very hot, to protect an elderly relative from touching the hot surface?

I do not believe so. besides it is very small. I feel it would melt. I got it for my wife;s make up table so she can temporally place a iron down for a short time.

Ann, I wouldn't because it's heavy plastic material. It's durable and won't scratch glass/ceramic cook-tops but it would melt if put on a hot stove or one that hasn't cooled off enough. If your concern is about protecting your cat from jumping hot stove, I recommend that you place a pan of water on the burner that was turned off. That way the burner is covered, nothing will burn. When it's cooled, then place counter top on stove. Hope this helps.

I don't know. It works safely, and well, on a regular coil element style electric range. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it on glass. It might be best to check with your stove's manufacturer.

I don't think so. My stove does not recommend it for the glass top. It does recommend cast iron cookery in the oven. I think it would scratch the surface. I will just use on the extra side burner on my grill or try making waffles in the oven.

Yes, you can use it on a glass top stove. The bottom is no more abrasive than other cookware and will make good contact with the stove surface. Just set it down gently.

I don't have a glass cooktop but my mom does. I think the cooking would turn out fine, but there is a huge danger of cracking your glass when placing or setting this on the glass because it is pretty heavy. I probably wouldn't use this on glass.

I don't have a glass/ceramic cooktop, but based on my use with a gas cooktop, I would have to say it would not work well since the scalloped "feet" of the diffuser would keep it 3/8" or so above the ceramic cooktop. I do think that it would reduce the direct heat from the cooktop, but how much, I don't know.

Do not know if you can or not, but I use mine on my ceramic glass top stove with no problem

I use it on gas stove. Don't know about glass top but bottom not flush with outside rim so may not heat as well.

I wouldn't imagine it would be a good fit for a glass cooktop. It is heavy iron- might scratch your stove. I'm thinking it wouldn't conduct the heat as well as it does on a gas range, either.

You should be able to use this on your glass top, but be aware that this thing gets incredibly hot! I have an electric stove, and i have to keep turning the heat down to regulate the canning process.

I use mine on a glass top range, even the heavy pressure cooker. Trick is to not cover the entire burner with the pot, leave a little exposed and the heat regulates itself properly. If I put the pots so that they cover the entire burner, the burner doesn't heat properly.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

We have had no problem with this as it is Teflon coated and our stove is a glass top. I do not know about other cooking surfaces.

no. it gets too hot for the glass. It can break your stovetop glass. Same with cast iron pots.

Yes, as long as you don't slide it around because that would scratch the glass. Be careful when you set it on the burner.

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.
