Does this pan warp? I want to use it on a glass top stove.

I don' have a glass top, I use gas. I Have this pan in two sizes and have been using them for a couple of years and use them often. Never had a problem. I Use them for frying, braising, casseroles,steaming. They are so versatile.

Warp? No, I don't think so but we only have natural gas. One thing we have learned, if you get the temp too high, it will ruin the non-stick surface so we don't go much above medium to medium-high for our cooking temps.

We have a glass cook top and we bought this new pan because our old farberware pan DID warp but after over 30 years of use. The last 10 years on the glass cook top. We've had this one about 1 year and it is still fine.

I have the lasagna pan with the lid so I do not know if this is the same pan. I've used my pan many time for lasagna...love it! Thus far (1 1/2 yrs.) there has been no warping. I suspect if the pan does warp it would be from taking it directly from the freezer to a hot oven. I would always allow the pan to warm up to room temp before placing in the oven.

In answer to your question bigjohnd41 this stem does not warp. I run a culinary class for a special ed school and it serves it's purpose. I use it maybe 3 days a week and had it for at least a year. It is heavy and the only problem I may encounter is that it doesn't drain any excess grease so you have to scrape from time to time.

I have a glass cooktop and I love this pan on it. Just don't use very high heat, it will warp.

No, not at all! It is very sturdy. I use this pan at least 3-4 times a week and have had it over a year now and now signs of warping at all.

I bought the pan to use on my glass top range. It's perfect! The pan has a nice flat bottom so it connects well with the stove surface. I have followed the instructions for bringing the pan up to temp over a medium heat and haven't had any problem with the pan warping. I have owned the pan for several months now and haven't had any problems with the surface either.I'd buy another one of these!

I have used it several times on our glass top range with no apparent warping. Still nice and flat

I have been using Airbake pans for years and have never had an issue with warping.

The flat bottom measures 7 1/2" across. That is the area that actually touches the burner. I have an electric stove with a flat "glass" top (no coils) and this pan works extremely well. No warping.

I haven't had any problems with warping. The base is heavy. I think you would have to do something stupid like put the pot in ice water right after you've emptied boiling water out of it to get it to warp. With normal care, it doesn't warp.

I have not had any of her pans warp. I do hand wash them as directed in the instructions. Hope this helps!

Yes. I wash it on the bottom shelf with no problems. I also pour boiling water into it pretty often with no warping.

My pan hasn't warped due to the fact that I let it cool first before washing. I think the degree of heat should not matter; just try letting the pan cool before washing. Hope this helps.

I have a Thermodor range That has high output burners and have use this pan both on the burners and in the electric oven there is no sign of any warping. I love this pan just as much as my All Clad SST pans.

Yes, I've used these pans under a broiler on high multiple times. I had no problems with warping like thin, cheaper pans. They are great, solid and thick aluminum.

I have used other lodge cast iron and it is fine, it gets a little dirty and you may have to reseason after that or after using at a sustained high heat. I have used this pan on the stove at max temperature and the only thing I noticed was that it warped a little because of the temperature difference between the center and the outside of the pan, but it went back to normal when done. Should not be a problem in the oven.
