Can it be used on a flat top stove?

I have a gas top stove so I really don't know. I don't want to give you an answer I am not sure about.

From the manufacturer's website:Lodge Cast Iron is right at home on induction, ceramic, electric and gas cooktops, in your oven, on the grill, or even over the campfire. Do not use in the microwave.

Yes, it can be used on the stove top as long as the enamel on the bottom is not chipped.

No, I use it on my flat surface electric stove. However, I do use a metal rack to keep it off the surface.

My guess is yes- as long as you keep the heat down from low to simmer.They claim that we can use it on a regular stove, however I've never tried that. I believe I read a complaint re using on a regular stovetop. Make sure to check the most recent reviews, I bought mine years ago (still fine) and you want to make sure you're getting the same quality.

This one has a flat bottom and works really well on all the stove top. Hope this helps!

Yes, it has a completely flat bottom. It should make full contact with a glass top stove.

Yes it can. We have a flat top glass stove and it works just fine. The bottom is flat, not rounded as other woks are.

I am sorry I can't answer this as I have a flat-top stove. However from my experience I can say it's surely not ideal for flat tops as it has a concave bottom it moves all the time . Even it's coating is not good for making rotis. I love their pressure cookers but this one not so much.

There is a small area that is mostly flat. I have a glass-top stove and it works fine on it. It was a gift for my wife.

Yes, that is what I use it on. In fact it's probably better than a flat electric stovetop because It allows the flame to reach up more effectively into the grill area. Again stress it does a great job but this is not entirely "smokeless". Use low to moderate heat to minimize smoke.

I have a flat surface electric stove top so I don't see why not if your heating surface is large enough.

Yes. I use mine on a gas stove between 2 burners but it is flat on the bottom.

Not sure what he means by a flat stove top? I have an electric range with a flat top and it does not work on my range. I bought it for my butane camp stove but was very disappointed in the Vev's operation and quality of brew it produced.

Tina, while I never tried this on a cooktop, I have misgivings. It would not heat evenly as most gas and electric stoves have round heating elements. If you have an electric range which connects two elements to form one oblong unit, it might work. Elizabeth

Just an edit to previous reply. I have a glass top flat surface stove. I'm sure results would be different if using electric burners.

As another consumer asked about using this I their stovetop. What If we were to use this on top of the flat griddle pan that goes over a double burner. The flat griddle pan would be on the bottom and then this would lay on top and catch the drippings. It would make a nice large "grilling" area and an indoor BBQ for apartment dwellers. I hope the answer is yes.
