has anyone tried this out over an electric cooking range?

I am so impressed with this I was going to gift one to a family member, unfortunately it is my understanding it will not work on an electric range. Can't quote the source, but I'm pretty sure of it.

Yes, it would be wonderfully suited for that I would think. I even use it on my electric range in the house....It is a high quality item that will last decades of you are familiar with carbon steel or cast iron cooking!

I have been using them on an electric range however I have friends who use the same pots and pans on open gas burners with no problems. As is typical of gas cooking (which by the way I much prefer) there will be eventual discoloration on the bottoms of the cookware which is not uncommon with gas.

I am currently using it (and have for a couple of years ) on an electric stove and have not had any problems. Love it and makes excelkent expresso IMHO

Yes, it works fine on gas or electric ranges, but never cook higher than medium or it kills the coating. I usually preheat it 2 minutes before adding pancake batter on it.

I wouldn't do that. I don't think the ceramic is thick enough to be on an electric stove.

While this unit is VERY heavy duty, I would not want to use it for such a high heat appliance such as a range oven. The power usage of that type of unit might cause the unit's circuit breaker to trip continuously, or, even more dangerously, overheat itself and short-circuit. That type of conversion for a range would require an industrial converter. This is not one of those.

This answer is late, but may help. I have both electric (glass) and gas. Works on either, and on induction too. But, on electric you may find it works better if you get it up to pressure on one burner, then transfer it carefully to a second burner set to lower to maintain pressure. Otherwise it may take awhile for the first burner to cool down and it overcooks the food. But you have to experiment to find out. Do not let this stop you from getting a pressure cooker. They are fantastic and the food actually tastes better because the flavor and nutrients are locked in.

I did. We just moved and the house has an electric stove. I think the gas worked so much better. You can control the heat better.

I've found out that you have to match the large fry pan with the size of the burner. Otherwise, you'll end up with a "hot spot" in the center of the pan. If you can move the food around easily, it would probably not be a problem. I have a WOLF stove at home, and use a Camp Chef 90 when camping, and both have large burner rings that will heat this large fry pan evenly. I've never used electric stoves, but other than the weight of a fully loaded pan, I don't know why it wouldn't.

Yes it is! - That is the kind of range I currently have - and have used this multiple times on it with no ill effects to either the pan or the glass top electric range.

I have a flat electric cooktop and it works fine. I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work on a standard range. You might be able to go right to the DeBuyer website and ask.

I use it indoors on gas. Have not tried on an electric burner. I imagine the element will head the metal and the metal will distribute the heat, though as is the case with electric burners all around, probably not as well.

I use it on an electric stove and it works fine. Just put on the smaller burner.

I've only used mine twice and am not happy with it. My house is old with old wiring. Cannot use at same time as microwave or I throw a breaker. Otherwise, it seems to be efficient for cooking, power wise.

I don't think so - I say with ANY of these electric cookers - (Turbo oven - Geo Formam grills, etc (not to mention variations in line voltage etc...you should use cooking info as a guide, only - then make notes when you cook meals and adjust the time up or down as necessary - this is a pain, I knowe, but that way after several attempts you should get it pretty close

I can't say. I've only used it on an electric range but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be good for gas cooking.
