Can I use this pot on a ceramic stove?

you can use on any stove except for induction stove. Please use low to medium fire only to prevent crack. And cool it all the way down before putting into the sink for washing.

I have used this pot on electrical stove and gas stove. I don't think it is problem on ceramic stove as long as you use it on low heat. You should use it as a slow cooker.

I wouldn't recommend it. The nature of the ceramic doesn't appear to be stable enough to withstand direct heat. And I don't recall the manufacturer stating it could be used on the stovetop. Hope this helps...

I have a ceramic stove top - and use it on it all the time. Yes, bottom of pot is flat.

Unfortunately this pot would not suit your needs because there is, in fact, a stainless steel heating element in the bottom center of the unit, surrounded by the ceramic pot. I don't know if other types of cooking pots are available without steel heating elements but perhaps a search of the Internet would be helpful in that regard. I hope this is helpful...have a great day!

Yes -- I have a gas stove and that's what I use mine on. I would caution you, though -- keep the flame low enough to stay on the bottom of the pot. If it comes up the sides, it may harm the seal. The only directions that come with the pot are in Japanese, but I inferred this from one of the illustrations -- and I remember getting this instruction from a kettle I had years ago. Hope this helps.

It can be used on ceramic cooktop but I would be afraid that the top would be scratched. It is a very heavy grill and I love the way it cooks my meat, but it is a heavy metal.

I have a gas stove, but I have had a ceramic cooktop before I had my Circulon pots and pans and even used iron skillets on it. They (ceramic cooktops) are quite durable. I think it would be fine if you, as a previous reviewer stated, do not drag them across the glass. I love my Circulon!

I don't see why not; but I'm not an expert. I think you just have to be careful to use the right cookware on ceramic tops, not regular electric stoves.

This is a ceramic pot into which you pour hot water to make tea. It is not a metal pot for boiling the water on a stove of any sort. .

I don't see why it can't be. I've used it on my gas stove top just fine. It's all stainless on the exterior so that it can go into the oven from the stove top. The only thing that might make it not work with a ceramic stove top is that the quality of the pan makes it not as flat on the bottom as it could be. The heat transfer might be lost if the pan isn't flat enough to contact the ceramic. It's a very cheap set of pans.

I wouldn't as it is not cast iron, ceramic or stainless. It is a coated aluminum. That said, I looked at the site, which I am putting a link to below. I did not read that could not, however I read nowhere that you could either. http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/large-slow-cookers-6-quart-programmable-stovetop-slow-cooker-33567t.html#features

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.

YES, it can be used on any type of cooking surface including convection. It' s the best pot I own and worth every dollar!

We aren't sure. It's glazed and we have only used it on a glass electric stove top with a special heating pad. Google donabe pots and you can find out more specifics.

According to the instruction book "While the ceramic pot is not recommended for oven use, it is oven safe up to 300F, and may be used to keep cooked food warm up to an hour. The ceramic pot should also not be used in the microwave or on the stove top."

yes, I have a ceramic cook top and it works very well. I like the pan very much and will probably buy the set when I can afford it.

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.
