Can the top be used for cooking?

I keep a tea kettle full of boiling water, to humidify the air and make tea! It might be fine for stews and soup type things... but you would want to be a better cook than I am to cook a whole meal.

The top gets hot so you don't want it too close to something flammable or meltable. You definitely need some room for circulation. I use the top to defrost the sauce packets for orange chicken.

I don't see why not. I don't have a glass cook-top, but the bottom has a smooth, ribbed finish that should not scratch anything. The problem I have with the product is that the non-stick surface is not durable, and if you try to clean the pan too soon after cooking, the pan will warp.

yes, you can. but don't put anything else on top as it will cave in the top

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods.PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lolHappy cookin!

I know this question is about 1-1/2 yrs. old, but thought I would answer it anyway! Yes, you can use this pan on the stove top. It's especially convenient when you want to make a sauce or gravy after you've roasted your meat.

If you want to put charcoal on the top get the lodge camp oven instead. It's designed for that purpose.

No. It's an oven pan. I think it's perfect for baking or broiling things in the oven. I often use it for sausage or a couple filets of fish on the top rack, and any grease drips into the bottom (which is great). Or I use the bottom part, with the top removed, to roast a small portion of veggies like asparagus, carrots, etc. It can take high heat in the oven, but it's lightweight, and no meant for the stove top.

I don't c why not it's just like a stove in a camper or motor home. Just treat it like a normal propain cook top .

ABSOLUTELY !!! I use it stove top at high temps to sear meat before using as a crockpot. I bring soups and stews to a boil on the stovetop before using crockpot to simmer. It's an amazing buy and worth every penny.

I suppose it could, but the sauté/searing function on the device itself is more than enough. I can't imagine a situation where you'd want to pull out the insert to use directly on a cooktop that couldn't be accomplished on the sauté setting.

Yes, it can be used on the stove top as long as the enamel on the bottom is not chipped.

sorry for being so long in answering. Was out of town. The pot is all metal so I think it should be just fine. I hadn't thought of using in in the oven but will try it with onion soup. It is the perfect shape for that. Don't think I would do the top without contacting the manufacture. Hope this helps.

yes. unison sear is suppose to be able to handle high heat. you can also use it on the stove top to make gravy.

Yes u can. This is a great pan to use on the stove top or oven. The grill side & the depth of the ridges keeps the grease contained!

I'm sure you could. I haven't used one thus far, but I'm sure you could use whatever you would in an oven. I take out the top shelf when I'm baking - otherwise things to cook too fast. I also set the temp 25 degrees less than recipe calls for.

You could use it on the stove top, but it's almost two feet long and would take two burners. Not the ideal pan for frying. A round pan would work better.
