Is this pot safe for ceramic cooktops?

I don't have a ceramic cooktop, but I don't know why it wouldn't be ok to use.

This is exactly what you need. It has that flat disc on the bottom that you need for ceramic cooktops. I never knew how much nicer it was to cook when you have the correct pot!! Love this pot!

We have a smooth top cooking range and a complete set of Contour Pans. They work great.

Yes it is safe. Make sure to place it over the burner which is closest to the size of the base of the pot so heat is directly under and not around sides of pot. Also let it cool down before washing it. You will absolutely love it.

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

That's weird that the instructions say that. At the Rachael Ray store at Cooking.com, it says that this set (the hard anodized set) is safe for use on ceramic and glass cooktops.

I have a ceramic top and it's fine. I assume it would also be fine on the coils. If you have an induction electric stove, you might want to ask specifically about that. I don't know.

Absolutely! I own 2 sets, one for our home and one for a vacation home and they both have ceramic cooktops. Just remember you don't need to turn the heat up very high...

I have only used it on a gas range and it does good there. I can only guess it would work well on ceramic stovetop. Maybe another Amazon user can help you with that. It is a nice looking sturdy pan with good heavy lid and handle, cooks good and cleans up easily and a bargain price.

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.

you cannot do it on a ceramic cook top as you might crack the cook top,but the iron pan will not damage

Yes. But, be careful not to drag it so you don't scratch your ceramic top all up.

Yes it can. I have a ceramic cooktop and use this pan without any problem. It heats evenly and doesn't mar my cooktop. Love it!!

Yes, the pamphlet that came with it states, "Use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Always lift cookware to move." Hope that helps.

The instructions that come with the cookware state that this can happen. They do not recommend using this cookware on glass/ceramic cooktops. I'm going to try anyway...anybody else tried?

I only use in cast alum pots, therefore can not say if it is safe in nonstick or not.

I use my cast iron on my ceramic cook top all the time. I'm of course careful not to drop them, but everything has worked fine including my 9 quart dutch oven. I have found that hard anodized heats faster on the ceramic, but love using my cast iron too...

I have a ceramic topped stove and we just received this pan so I haven't used it. There are several warnings in the pamphlet included with the pan regarding ceramic topped stoves. It states that "overheating or allowing (porcelain enamel) to boil dry can make these pans fuse to the surface of the glass top ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cook top". My husband says to "go for it", but I do worry about the heat required to stir fry. The pan rated highly, but I am a little worried.

I wouldn't recommend it. The nature of the ceramic doesn't appear to be stable enough to withstand direct heat. And I don't recall the manufacturer stating it could be used on the stovetop. Hope this helps...
