How does this do on a stovetop, on one burner?

It's a little huge. I have a fairly large burner, but not one large enough for this pan. My cooktop is induction - so it's a bit different. That said, it still works very well for certain tasks such as searing meat.

It's 12 inches across the bottom, unless you have an oversize burner it won't heat evenly (gas stove). It's not thick like cast iron (so not as heavy) and would probably warp a little over time. That being said, it's really sturdy and if you're not making an omelet or a crepe a little warping is not going to hurt it. I have only used it on the grill or in the oven, where it works great, and I have many other Lodge pans that I would use first on a single burner. I cannot recommend Lodge product highly enough if you take care of them.

Tends to concentrate the heat in the center. Be mindful of getting too much heat in the center ring..

I have been very pleased with this pan and have only used it on a single gas burner. I do use the large burner on medium high for almost everything. I love this pan and use it at least once or twice a week.

This one is fine. You can adjust the flame up and down. This is the best portable stove that I have used. It won't rust and very easy to clean.

No problems with using this pot on a gas stove. That is exactly how I do it. It's usually a low flame. Yes, we did season it before the first use. I can't remember how. We googled instructions and it worked perfectly. We really love our Tagine Pot - it's also a topic of conversation when we use it with guests.

I haven't used it on a gas stove, but I haven't had a problem with oil on both sides as I wiped off oil residue before turning over to work on the other side.

I used it once on a glass top stove and had no trouble. I don't remember reading this warning and now I'm going to check this out more before I use it again.

I have used it on my lowest burner output (gas stove) on anywhere from a setting of six-eight. Have not had any issues.

The manual says not to put it directly on a burner... Then again it is cast-iron and indirect heat should be fine, the company even sells an iron stand for use with tea-lights, so I would think it depends on how hot you have the stove going

I'm not sure - it is a single unit without the sturdiness of a stove's underpinnings, but I have found the issue is more the diameter of the pot or pan. If the pan registers as being too small (less than 4"), the burner will not activate - I have used a full size stock pot and had not problems, but I haven't used a lobster pot which I think may be to broad to be used effectively.

I have been using it on an electric burner and haven't experienced any problems so far.

I use it on a smooth top stove. Works well without damaging the cookware or the stove. I love my Anolon!

I have been using it on my cook top since the day it arrived. I use it on a small burner and at a low heat. works great

Yes!!!!! I don't turn on all the burners. It does burn hot, just takes some time figuring it out.

Yes. I happen to use it on the same type of stove all the time. Works just fine.

We used ours with our Coleman single burner, didn't have any problems with the coating coming off at all on our entire trip and must have been used at least 8-10 times. Perhaps we didn't have the heat up as high as the other people? But we did heat all our food through and made coffee (we forgot the kettle!) and heated beans - we certainly didn't want any of the things we heated to be anywhere near 300 degrees though. We also put one of the pans over an actual firepit fire on a cooking grill thing with fold out legs - worked great on that too. All I can say is we're still using ours and it looks fine to me.

I think this depends on how much oil you use and what you are cooking and if the oil splatters outside the pan onto the hot burner because this pan has very low sides. There can be some smoke and it can get a little messy.

I only use mine on my counter top. I think it might pick up too much heat from being next to working burners.

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.
