Anyone use this model on a flat ceramic top stove? Some say the bottom is slightly rounded so it will not make contact and cook correctly?

The rep told me it is flat-bottomed, but still not recommended because of concerns with 1) weight and 2) heat transfer. The heat transfer issue is not a safety concern, just a consistency concern. If the manufacturer of your range says flat bottomed canners are acceptable, then weight should not be a problem.

Yes, the bottom is flat. It's big, though. Diameter is 12.5" across the bottom, and the largest element on my ceramic cooktop is 9.5" across. However, the pan conducts heat very well, so the size in the end was not an issue for me. Hope this helps.

I use mine on a flat top electric stove. It took some getting used to but works well for me.

it does have a flat bottom....flat as they come. being that i do not have a glass top stove, i can only say, that a person would "not" want to slide it from burner to burner.....but "lift" it. that part would have to be your decision. i know i love mine, and would definitely buy another.

Hi Pja, the bottom is quite smooth but I can't ensure you that this set are good enough for glasstop ceramic stove. To be honest, I think the pan could scratch it.. if you are not careful using it!

I do, it has a flat bottom; but you should check your stove's instructions.

Yes, it works great on our glass/smooth cooktop, the bottom is very flat and it makes good contact.

I am sorry I can't answer this as I have a flat-top stove. However from my experience I can say it's surely not ideal for flat tops as it has a concave bottom it moves all the time . Even it's coating is not good for making rotis. I love their pressure cookers but this one not so much.

I would be interested to know this as well. I have had 2 different ceramic cooktops stoves and have never had a pan stick to it. I am wondering if the reviewer who made this comment had something on the cooktop that caused the pan to stick to it.

Yes; the bottom of this lodge cast iron skillet is flat. However, ceramic top stoves do not tend to appreciate the use of cast iron cookware. Scratches are common so I would encourage only minimal browning of your items on a ceramic stove before placing the cast iron in the oven for complete baking.

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

This more of a sauté pan a little deeper but the bottom is flat. I have the 12 inch frying pan as well. Check to see if your stove is level, and some of the burner grates maybe be a little out of wack. Hope this helps.

We use ours on the ceramic stove top without issue, it's not perfectly flat as it has 3 ridged circles but they do not seem to present an issue associated with ceramics. The top opening could be gotten into with a very small hand but most likely not, it is however large enough for any common scrub brush.

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

No. It has circular ridges where a burner would hit. I have used with electric and gas stove tops with no problrm.

Yes the bottom base is flat - I used it on my glass top - One thing to keep in mind is not to slide the pot on the hot burner it will leave marks on the glass top - It is easy to remove with a good glass cook-top cleaner so don't worry it it does

I have a glass top stove.The heating try does get warm on the bottom so I was afraid to try. Otherwise, I love the tray and even bought one as a gift!
