can this be used on top of the stove in a small frying pan to minimize the splatters

I haven't tried it and don't plan to. It appears to me that it would not be able to handle that kind of direct heat.

No. it isn't designed for the higher heat of the stove top. but I love it for keeping my microwave clean of spatter, & it washes up easily in the sink. makes a great inexpensive gift

I wouldn't try it. The issue I had with the pan was with my flat top stove. The burner heats the part of the pan that touches it so quickly and the part that overhang the burner stays cool causing the pan to warp.

I had to go and look. The answer is yes, but it's not a tight fit. The lid to the largest pot also fits over the largest fry pan. There is a little wiggle room (lid moves back an forth maybe an 8th of an inch), but the lid should not slide off the fry pan. I suppose it would be useful for keeping splatter off the counter.

You probably could but it seems not to splatter all over. It gets condensation on the handles when you cook it. It kinda steams the noodles to cook them. It only takes 3 minutes too cook.

I would assume you can use it on top if the stove to brown/sear as it is steel and a heavy sturdy pan. It is 16 inches long, so much of the pan will not be over the burner.

Yes, but be careful not to let it boil dry or boil over as this can damage both the pan and the stove.

I use mine in my non-stick skillet. Now you must be careful with the edges as it could scratch some Teflon coating if scraped across it.

Yes, it can. It's great for greasy counter tops and I put a little in my dish water if I have greasy pans. As far as the baked on grease, I would say yes, if you use some kind of scratchy pad. I use it more as a pretreatment for clothes than anything. It's great for hamburger grease or butter stains, etc. I've used this for years and if you find it doesn't work well for your stove top (which I think it will, no problem), you won't waste your money because it can be used for so many things. Good Luck!

Truthfully, it depends on the stove type. Yes you can; *however* when I used mine on an electric stove (with a smooth top), the largest pan became slightly warped every time it got very hot, and so my burgers ended up cooked unevenly (which I made up for by moving them around more). I have a set an my Mom's house too, and her stove uses gas flames - this is highly compatible with the pans!

yes I would use it on the stove top maybe to fry chicken or whatever because the pan metal is thick......good cooking...by

Yes. It's designed to allow you to lower the food without getting splattered. We always do it this way and don't get the countertop splattered.

I don't think so. It's covered with something that might be teflon. As long as you're careful, though, the coating ought not wear off the way it might in a cooking pan.

Would take a very large amount of oil. .We never tried because we have a Deep Fryer. If you want to put that much oil in a 2-1/2" deep skillet and heat it,I would think you are asking for possible spill,burn,and a large mess if it spills. Cheapest deep fryer will fix this problem.

I put it on the grill directly on the grates with no pan. I have not experienced any splatter.

I have used it in a stock pot to blend soup. But I tried it in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup with just a little bit of liquid in it and it splattered everywhere.

Yes you can. At least I do, and so far no problem. It doesn't really stop the frying smell, but it avoids the splashing around.

Maybe, but it is small, covering only a small portion of the stove-top burner, and the metal is not as thick on the bottom as a normal pot because it is designed to use with a steam wand and not through direct contact with a high heat source. I wouldn't use it on the stove.
