Rachael Ray porcelain enamel cookware: Does anyone know if this cookware can be used on a ceramic cooktop?

I thought it was just the procelain set that can't be used on ceramic stoves. Now that's ONLY if the phone rings or something, and you leave it on the stovetop for an hour and over heat it, but it ain't worth risking a $1000 stove. The hard anodized one says right in the description that it's okay for ceramic cooktops.

Yes, I use these pans on ceramic cooktop and have no complaints. One of my cheap pans (Martha Stewart brand) warped, when overheated, but not Scanpan!

I actually had this same question. I contacted the company directly and was told that since the cookware is painted it would not work on induction cook tops. They do have other products that would work.

I do not think it will work on a ceramic cook top. It requires flames to contact the steel surface to distribute the heat properly. Without the flames, you wont get optimum cooking temps. They dont work great on gas cook tops either, unless they are high BTU burners. This is why I use it on an outdoor cooker meant for fish fry's and crab boils.

I would say it would not be a good choice for a ceramic cooktop; I would probably have to recommend a flat bottom Wok.

I am not sure...I have a gas range. It does work well for paella and I do not see any reason why it wouldn't work on a glass-ceramic top unless you have to you special cookware??

I have a gas cook top. I don't think it would work with glass /ceramic. I'd contact your cook top manufacturer.

I don't see why it can't be. I've used it on my gas stove top just fine. It's all stainless on the exterior so that it can go into the oven from the stove top. The only thing that might make it not work with a ceramic stove top is that the quality of the pan makes it not as flat on the bottom as it could be. The heat transfer might be lost if the pan isn't flat enough to contact the ceramic. It's a very cheap set of pans.

I think I read somewhere that you can use it on a ceramic cooktop with some reservations I would contact the company.

DEFINITELY NOT ! ! This says in multiple places that it is bakeware made from stone that is glazed. It is NOT THE SAME as the original Corningware Pyroceram which could be used on the stove top. Most of the stovetop pyroceram ones are large and not convenient one serving size like this is, but they do make some of the smaller ones. Keep looking if you want the original. The original also has the advantage of being a type of fused glass that is MUCH stronger when dropped and very unlikely to be broken or chipped ! !

Yes, it will work on a ceramic cooktop. The bottom of this griddle is smooth and has never caused a problem but make sure your cooktop is wiped off before cooking just to be safe.

I do not know, my cooktop is ceramic. I do not wish to burst your bubble, but I recommend not to buy the pots. They hold a lot less than they say the do, for example, the 4 quart pot holds on slightly more than 3 quarts, the rest are similarly sized . The pots are thin, so it is easy to scorch and burn stuff. Difficult to clean after you burn something in them.

I would NOT recommend using this dish on the stove top .....it is intended for baking purposes....and does a wonderful job!!! I use glassware almost exclusively on my ceramic stove top and oven [Vision for example]....and I have a Pyrex double boiler that is over 20 years old, and has a small metal ring that goes underneath, and has served me faithfully........glass is WONDERFUL to cook with......but always check the labels for specifics!!!!!!!

Found this: Paula Deen's enamel-coated porcelain cookware and aluminum or stainless steel cookware are not safe to use on glass stove tops, according to the product specifications. Your stove's operation manual may also provide some insight into what type of cookware is best to use on the stovetop and what type of cookware should be avoided.

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.

The bottom of this pan is flat and I would think it would work fine on a ceramic top but I would be careful not to slide it on the top as it would likely scratch it. The Lodge web site says they can be used on any cooking surface except a microwave.

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.
