I have a glass top stove &amp; want to use a cast iron pan (not recommended. 1) will your Stove tamer work? Will it scratch the glass?

No, the Stove Tamer is intended to spread out the flame from a gas stove, to avoid "hot spot" burning inside the pan when cooking. I think it might damage a glass top stove; I wouldn't take the chance.

Yes it is safe for glass cooktops. The steel isn't porous and rough like cast iron. Also, the DeBuyer pans are suitable for induction stoves. I own a complete set of these pans from the 16" to the small saute pan...I love them all.

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!!!

Cast iron works on induction burners so this comal will work. Be careful not to scratch your stovetop though. If the bottom of the pan is rough then it could scratch it if you move it around. I have read of people using a sheet of parchment paper, paper towel, newspaper and even a silicon baking liner between the pan and burner to prevent this. All claim that it won't catch on fire. Here is a forum talking about it. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/912355

We don't have the answer to that question. Suggest you check with the manufacturer. Have never used on a glass top stove. Good Luck.

I would try a small corner. It works on enamel stoves. I use it on Aga cookers and it does not scratch! I have been using Astonish for 18years.

Yes ! That's the great thing about cast iron ! Just don't drop it on the glass top ! LOL

I would go with what the manufacturer says. It could possibly scratch the glass top and not work properly with electric heat. It is designed for a gas stove to evenly distribute the heat from the flame

Did you ever receive an answer to your question about using an aebleskiver on a glass top electric stove? I have the same question. Thanks!

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.

Yes, ma'am, it will work! I also have a flat glass stove-top and have had no problems with scratches. The bottom of the pan IS speckled like the rest of the outside of the pan, but it's coated well enough that it won't cause scratches. Hope you love it as much as I do! :)

I use mine on a glass stovetop and it's great. It doesn't scratch the top and vice versa.

I am just now looking at this and contemplating purchasing it. However, I use my cast iron skillets on my glass top stove ALL the time and they work perfectly. The only criteria is that the pan be flat on the bottom, and this appears to be the case for this griddle as with all the other Lodge pans. I can't see any difference between using this and using my cast iron frying pans. My stovetop has the "bridge burner" feature which heats two burners plus the space between the burners, so this should be perfect for that.

I used cast iron skillets on a glass top stove and had no adverse results- I did only use them on glass top for about a year (then we moved & had gas stove). Just be careful not to slam it down & hold onto the handle whenever stirring to minimize the risk of scratching the surface.

if you have an induction cook top- rule of thumb is a magnet must be able to stick to the bottom of the pan. There are many different qualities of cast iron. Some do not have enough real iron in them to use.....Induction works on magnetic field for conduction.If its just an electric glass top- it will scratch if your cast iron has no protective coating.

The directions say it will remove rust, tarnish, etc., not scratches. I don't have a glass top stove so I haven't tried polishing any glass.

I use mine on a glass stove top and it works great. The bottom of the pan is enameled and does not scratch the surface. I am very happy with this purchase (been making homemade flour tortillas on it!)
