Can you use this instead of a lid to simmer on the stove top?

Yes! It said you could in the instructions and I have done it! I love these lids!

YES! This is mainly what I use it for! I also use it for boiling foods or foods in a fry pan!

I haven't used them stovetop, but I see no reason not to. I use them regularly in the microwave.

Yes, it can also be used on glass stove tops. As for pots, something like the casseroles are better than the rounded pot so there is more contact with the heat source.

yes, you can simmer things without burning them. Turn the knob towards the top of the stove that is how you get your lower heats, turn the knob towards the oven and the burner it hotter.,

This is a serving tea pot. It is not intended for use on a stove top. Fill it with boiling water from your tea kettle.

You wouldn't want to. The heat element is in the unit...not a hot plate to sit the pot on. You could fill the pot but would have to heat on something else. Not really recommended for use.

I don't see how it could be used that way, no. I ordered one for that same purpose assuming it was a solid plate, but this is a stamped steel disc with a raised rim for it to slip over a conventional burner. The only way I could see it working on an induction cooktop would be to place it upside down and then use a pan or pot that is smaller than the raised rim.

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.

It's not the best for that, this is more for grilling. I would get something with a stove top, not a grill surface.

I have never used it this way, however, I don't think it is stovetop safe based on the material.

if you mean on a heated stove, no. The glaze will eventually crack and possibly the bottom may leak, believe me years ago I tried this . Bonnie S

I don't see why you couldn't. It would function like a big popper, just keep tge lid on so you don't get splattered.

Good question. The answer is yes. Either top or bottom may be used on the stovetop for searing the meat. It's a great roaster. I love it.

Sorry not sure since I use on a fad stovetop. Packaging should indicate if you can.

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

I think you could but remember it is plastic so I don't think you'd want to put boiling water in it.

yes you can but you have to be care full you don't turn on the wrong burner . What I do to be safe I take mines all off before any top goes on I also have a glass top stove and I use my covers for the top.

You could but it would be a waste of energy. The canner has a lot of mass and it all has to be heated. The porcelain canners have far less mass and are designed to heat up quickly (and their cost is minor). If it were me I would use the right tool for the right job. If you decide to do it anyway DO NOT SEAL THE LID.
