Are these compatible with electric cooktops directly on the coils?

I'm not sure what type of cooktop you are referring to but I don't see why they couldn't be used on any stove. I have a glass electric cooktop and they work fine on it and clean up beautifully. We've been very happy with the two Anolon advanced anodized skillets that we have.

Yes, they are magnetic - so to test, try a kitchen magnet and if it sticks the pans will work with the induction cook top. Ours did, good luck cooking!!

I don't think so. i use mine on a electric stove with standard coils, it works fine there. it does not have a flat surface. there is a 1/4 inch lip on either side

I have had no issues with using them on flat top electric stoves. Just have to use a lower temp.

It is my understanding that these were made for standard electric and gas burners. As they are metal I do not think they would work for induction cooktops. My suggestion would be to contact the induction top manufacturer for an expert answer. Sincerely, C. Dalzell

If the stove uses radiant heat the answer is yes. If it's inductive, then no. Only steel/cast iron (a magnet sticks to them) based pans will work with inductive cooktops.

I use high heat with mine and they are fine. I have electric, so not quit sure, just would make sure dishes are centered on burner.

No. The manufacturer says the 12-piece set is compatible with all cooktops except induction..Alot of people are putting the wrong answers on here...

Yes, I have used them on a gas and electric stovetop. No problems. They work just as well as some of our Teflon pots and pans. Matter of fact we use them over a portable gas stove when camping.

I assume so. My cooktop is a Whirlpool glass-surface induction cooktop. Never had any problems.

Yes. I got them specifically for use on my induction burner and they work great.

I would say yes, We have used them on a regular gas stove. We don't have an electric stove, but if they work on gas flame, I can't see why they wouldn't work on an electric burner.

They work beautifully on my Amana ceremic cooktop, Helen. I had concerns about the same thing and kept the heat a bit lower. However, my husband who enjoys cooking much more than I do, doesn't even give it a thought. If it says "High" that's what he uses. I don't think you need to be concerned

I have a ceramic top and it's fine. I assume it would also be fine on the coils. If you have an induction electric stove, you might want to ask specifically about that. I don't know.

I don't believe so. I think I read somewhere that they don't work on the induction type of cooktop. I believe it was one of the reviews on Amazon. If you go to the t-fal webpage, the pots and pans that they have that do work (solid stainless), they state that they work.

We have an electric coil top range, it turns slightly but they are great pans...heat evenly and clean evenly.
