Can I use this for cooking in my slow cooker, Ninja system baker or elec fry pan? I want to put it on top of my elec stove and use it for small appliances that don't take as much electricity as my stove/oven do. How does this compare with the Cambo Universal Fit one? Thanks!

It would work for that. Just dont have a hot burner under it. I dont know the cambo so cant comment there.

It makes a great work space but I would not put anything hot on it. It is plastic. It would be great if it were glass or stone.

We use ours on top of our gas stove as the cost of propane has skyrocketed. It covers the burners nicely and gives us a flat surface to use our other appliances. The surface is very sturdy and cleans nicely. I don't know anything about the Cambo Universal Fit, but I highly recommend this surface. Ours is in black and ties in nicely with the color of our other appliances.

Yes it will work as long as the bottom of the appliance doesn't get extremely hot.

I have used mine in black for frying foods etc. but the bottom of your cooker can't get too hot (maybe on a heat diffuser thingie would work if your cooker is hot to the touch on the bottom - there's a bunch on Amazon).. the cover is plastic (but it's sturdy plastic). i think you'll be fine with it and i agree I have my toaster on mine and other small appliances when needed.

I have a regular electric stove with coils - although the canner is larger than the coils, I have used it as well as one I wore out for years. You just center the canner over the coil. I don't know how useful one would be that was as small as a burner on regular stoves, wouldn't hold many jars.

I am a vegan and cook in this wok constantly. Love it. Always watch what you are cooking so it doesn't burn. You don't want to use high heat. Use middle heat on a gas burner. I don't have electric so I don't know how that would work. Hopes this helps you make your decision. Great wok

My oven is electric, so I have not tried cooking with this pan in a gas oven. But years ago I had gas stoves for cooking, & I don't recall that there were any particular restrictions on the use of the oven. At least, I used gas & electric ovens in the same way & found no differences between them. You might check with someone in a department store homewares department or google the question.

Hi Michelle, This cooker can could be used as a normal stove top, pot, or crock pot (slow cooker) if it's lid is left off while cooking as this way the pot will not be pressurized. I must say I am extremely very happy with the Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker and would recommend it. Regards, Vince

It should be fine to use on electric stove top, just make sure you get correct size to match your stove dimensions. I know some reviews said it didn't fit we'll on electric stove top. I would recommend purchasing the smaller pan size griddle.

I use mine on an electric stove. Infact, I use this item almost everytime i cook a meal. LOVE IT!!

I just use it to reheat food. I don't believe you're supposed to cook in it. It is different from a slow cooker.

I think the company that made the stove is the one to answer your question ..as you can or can not put in your stove, use the pot on gas and electric stoves and my food is tasty good, I am happy with my pot I recommend it

My Farberware elec. fry pan was probably 20 yrs old. I bought 2 new controls. Both of them felt like they fit but the connection wasn't a tight one. In order to maintain even heating I had to stand there and use some pressure to hold them together. I finally gave up. AH! They sure do not make things like they used to. Good Luck with your search for a control!

I would buy this one again, which is saying something considering how old it is. I bought mine in the late '90s. Electric appliances are great and I've got many. If my power goes out for any period of time, I'm set with a gas range. Additionally, I can disassemble the whole caboodle and put it in the dishwasher. That aside, what are your needs? Alton Brown recommends against uni-taskers and I, with a tee-tiny kitchen, have to agree. For many, many years, until last year actually, I used my pressure cooker as my "heavy bottomed pot" for cooking almost everything in addition to using it as a pressure cooker. In fact, I would be willing to say that it got used more for non-pressure cooking purposes than as a pressure cooker. Now that's my opinion. For yourself, determine what all of your needs are in relation to a pressure cooker. If necessary, write a list; check out cookbooks-are regular pressure cooker cookbooks convertible to electric?

I use this on a nuwave now. when I had an electric stove it worked fine. when I had a gas stove it worked fine. I used it in the oven. I have used it up to 375 and had no problems. I do not know the maximum. possibly you could check on the wearever website and see if it says

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).

I've used mine as a slow cooker, stove top cooker, and oven. It's one of my favorite appliances (and I've tried MANY during the last 29+ years of marriage.) I've had great results with it and am getting ready to buy a second one for my 23yo son who LOVED the spaghetti and meatballs I made in mine.

We have a ceramic cooktop (electric stove) ..... so don't know the difference between ours and yours.It works great with ours! (The best fry pan that we have ever found.)

I've had no problems; however, I have a glass top electric stove and the elements are quite large. A friend who has a regular sized gas stove found that she had to keep her eye on meats and do a lot of moving around to get even browning. In the long run, she felt it was worth the extra effort to use only one pot.

Sorry this is so late, I just got it. I would say no. I once bought a new ceramic stove it said not to use copper bottom and there was something aboutthe wok and wok ring that I thought I could not safely use it. I bought an electric wok and stopped using my Norpro. Now a decade plus later I am livingwhere I have a gas stove again and I bought the Norpro 10 piece wok set again this time from Amazon.
