Compatible with ceramic, smooth top stove? Will it scratch the surface?

It wont scratch at all but with ceramic-glass tops they can always be damaged with the avid cooker

It is great on a glass top stove. I have a glass top and this cookware does not scratch it at all. You can boil, use stove on high setting and no harm at all. It is the only cookware I will use on such a delicate stovetop. Don"t be afraid to use this--but as the other reviewer says--the non-stick coating comes off way too easily even when extremely careful.

The finish on this pan is a little rough. If you have a stove-top surface that is easily scratched, you may want to avoid this item. (Especially for your planned use -- you'll be vigorously moving the pan around on the hot eye.) Several times while caring for this item, I have scratched/cut myself on the handle part. The bottom of the pan I received is safe, but it is a little rough and irregular. The pan is also a little heavy for your intended use.

Hmm, never thought of that. My first thought was to say it would not be good for the smooth top, but I have a smooth top range and cook high temperatures in my regular cast iron skillets as well as my enameled cast iron cookware. Given that, I think it would be okay up to medium high. I wouldn't push it until you tried it out first!

Yes it is flat. I don't have a ceramic cooktop but it would work. I can send a picture of the bottom if you need to see it.

i don't have a ceramic/glass top stove, but this is the best answer i've found. There are some differing opinions on this discussion but one of the common themes to be a suggestion to use a diffuser, or flame-tamer underneath a pan so it doesn't scratch the surface. Also, don't slide the pan around - lift it up and move it.

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.

Yes, I use mine on a smooth top range all the time. You just have to make sure that you clean the bottom grooves well so it doesn't scratch your stove top. This pot is great for pasta and I love it when I make caramel or melt marshmallows for krispie treats. Non-stick coating is excellent.

It didn't scratch mine. I have a gas stove now. Really love her pans! I think you will too.

It hasn't left any scratches or marks on a glass cooktop in my experience. I would be careful not to use the very highest heat levels just because these stoves get so hot they can eventually wear down the nonstick surface.

Yes. But, be careful not to drag it so you don't scratch your ceramic top all up.

this one has smooth bottom and i think it should be safe to use it on those smooth cooktops. i cant guarantee because all my live i had gas but by looking at the bottom of that pan it shouldnt scratch or break your cook top. im personally very happy with it.

The bottom has scored circle patterns across the entire surface. I do not know if it would scratch the surface on your stove. I'd ask your manufacturer or hope another user has the same type of stove surface. Someone asked the same question on another in their line http://www.amazon.com/cookware-without-scratching-glasstop-stoves/forum/Fx1R8IFJ4ZR385B/Tx2WMLKJDMU3QVY/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_al_a?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B009L16ZBM Hope this helps.

If your stove griddle is coated, like with teflon, it would scratch the coating. If not, I think it would work great.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

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.

There isnothing to preclude use on a glass top stove, but you may encounter minor scratches disfiguring the gloss of the stovetop.
