Anyone use this with a vintage Pyrex coffee percolator on a glass-top stove? Thanks in advance.

I don't know for sure, but if you read the description, it says you can use on any cooking surface and even use with glass cookware.

I do not know about "vintage" Pyrex. But I used it with Pyrex without breaking. Always on LOW.

Yes, I have a glass top stove and I do not have any problems. Holds the heat and cooks fast.

I'm looking for the same item because I have a small espresso machine that has a footprint much smaller than the smallest burner. Is there anything that's on the market for such an issue? Glass tops are a pain.

I had a small stainless steel 4-cup percolator and these worked fine. Depending on how much coffee you put in the brew basket, you may need to tamp down the ends of the filters for the basket cap to fit. Otherwise OK.

Somehow I missed the not for electric stove use as that is what I have. My electric range is the smooth glass top style but I have used my Greek coffee pot on with no problems. You just need to lift the pot from the heat when it starts to overflow. I would do the same method if I was using a hotplate.

well, Danny, not sure....did your 6 cup stainless steel coffee percolator come with a mesh screen to begin with?? if so, then it probably will....these are nice, as they are tightly woven and actually better than the screen that came with my original coffee french press. hope this helps. lauree

I use it on my glass top stove with no problem. I first bring whatever I am cooking at a high temp to start. When it has reached the point that the temp is too high, I remove the pot and turn the burner down to low and then place the simmer mat on the burner. I then place the pot on the simmer mat. It takes a little longer for it to simmer but it eventually will and you never have to worry about it burning.

I've tried it in a percolator twice. However, the way I use it is in a 50/50 ratio with coffee. The first time was just ok. The second time I used about 60% Crio Bru and it tasted better. For everyday purposes I use a 50/50 ratio with a drip coffee maker.

My stove is a glass top and I have had no trouble however, I am not a glass stove top expert so I would refer to your user's manual for guidance.

Although I have not tried a percolator, I have tried a drip coffee maker with poor results. This grind really needs time to brew. FOR really great taste I use a French press and allow it to brew for 12 minutes before pressing. You really must try it. I say many French presses today at Home Goods for under $15.00.

I haven't ever had a glass top stove, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The device just needs the heat from the burner to make the sandwich toasty. Try it! Hope it works.

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.

For some reason the e-mail didn't show the picture or reference anything to let me know what percolator? cap you are asking about. If it is the "Fitz All" cap, probably. The glass portion has a small screw end and an oversize aluminum plate that it attaches to through the coffee pot lid.

I would not think so if your percolator has the stem coming up in the middle for the water to come through and percolate over the grounds because this basket has no hole in the bottom to fit over the stem of your percolator.

I would NOT recommend using this dish on the stove top .....it is intended for baking purposes....and does a wonderful job!!! I use glassware almost exclusively on my ceramic stove top and oven [Vision for example]....and I have a Pyrex double boiler that is over 20 years old, and has a small metal ring that goes underneath, and has served me faithfully........glass is WONDERFUL to cook with......but always check the labels for specifics!!!!!!!

Yes, I too have a Pyrex Professional. This works well as a replacement; within one or two degrees...

Nancy, I turn my electric stove all the way to *high* with this burner...it's cast iron, so, there are no worries. You have to be concerned with your percolator....is it glass? Then I would only go up to medium. I use vintage Pyrex flameware saucepans to cook with and they are glass....but they are a thick borosilicate glass and can withstand high temps. I also use a glass teapot, also Pyrex flameware, and put it on high to boil water....no problems.I have two of these burners and although the one side that was coated is all chipped off now, they work perfectly and appear that they will last for my lifetime.
