I've used these pans on ceramic stovetops for years with no problems at all. Scanpan seems to hold up much better than other nonstick cookware, well worth the price.

Yes, you can use cast iron on glass top (ceramic) stoves but with some cautions. Cast iron is very heavy and if it is dropped onto to the surface it can crack it. Don't store heavy cookware like this in cupboards or shelves above this type of stove because it could easily be dropped and shatter the glass. Also avoid sliding any iron cookware around on the ceramic surface as this will scratch it. If you move the pan around, lift it and then place it back down. It's possible to purchase special protective cooking pads for glass top stoves at kitchen stores for use with high-heat cookware like cast iron. They are also placed under any cookware that may scratch the surface like this product. Sometimes people place cast iron on stoves with the flame or electric on to dry them after cleaning NEVER do this with a ceramic/ glass top stove, if you walk away and forget about the pan the glass top can get too hot and break. Last, cast iron does seem to work better on gas rather than electric stoves.

I don't have a glass top (I have electric) so I've not tried, but the recommendation from the manufacture indicate the cookware should not be used on glass tops. And, the bottom of the pans are coated in the same material as the sides.

Yes they are safe to use on a glass top stove as I have a GE glass cooktop and have been using these for years. We liked them so much we purchased them for our daughter in law.

We have had no problem with this as it is Teflon coated and our stove is a glass top. I do not know about other cooking surfaces.

I did a lot of reviews on these before I bought them and from everything I read, they were safe to use on the glass top stove. THat being said, when I moved from our apartment to our house, that was my one requirement....no glass top. So I don't have them to confirm they won't ruin the pans, but again I did a lot of research and didn't find anything about that. I will say that I LOVE this set!!!

I do not know, my cooktop is ceramic. I do not wish to burst your bubble, but I recommend not to buy the pots. They hold a lot less than they say the do, for example, the 4 quart pot holds on slightly more than 3 quarts, the rest are similarly sized . The pots are thin, so it is easy to scorch and burn stuff. Difficult to clean after you burn something in them.

I believe because the heat of the burner could cause the cookware to stick to the glass...now personally though I had a glass top and used my pans on the burners and they never cemented to the glass ..just use judgement and not leave pots on high heat ...not good for bottom of pans anyway...love my granite ware they wash up so good even when I burned stuff..

My mom bought me the orange set which is hard anodized inside but porcelain on the outside. The instructions said that the porcelain should not be used on a glass or ceramic cooktop because it can cause damage. They recommend the black set with the orange handles which is hard anodized inside and out. (I hope the instructions can be trusted) Anyway, I'm returning my orange set for the black w/orange handles. I hope nothing happens to my cooktop.

Yes. As with any heavy item of cookware, you need to take a little care not to drag it across the surface, but ceramic glass is tougher than the word "glass" suggests. Also, if it is an induction cooktop, you can even put a piece of parchment paper (sold at all supermarkets) under the cooking vessel as an extra protection against scratching.

I have used them on steel and aluminum pans. Never used on glass or ceramic pans. All I have in non-metal pans are too tall for strips to cover.

I have a new ceramic flat-top electric stove and the manual says DO NOT use glass cookware on this type of stove. It will scratch the surface.

Cheryl, although this set of cookware is the best I have ever owned--for a glasstop stove, I do not know if I would be willing to purchase them to use on gas- I would be afraid they would discolor, although I have no proof of that.

Because these pans are porcelain, they blister with high heat.. Also glass stove tops are very sensitive, so as long as you use moderate heat it's OK to use, adult supervision for sure.
