Bought this today at my local grocer and just noticed it says NOT to use it on 'glass cooktops'! Has anyone used it on a glass cooktop?

Wish I could help, but I've only used mine on gas & electric stove tops. They are terrific. My favorite pots. I have both sizes.

Yes on occasion, and I carefully placed it on the eye. I think I read somewhere that you can do it, with care. Its on the label.

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 used it on the glass top with no problem. I did not put it to high heat though. I loved using it with salmon and chicken so it doesn't need to be at the high side of hot to work well.

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

Opps, I did not know about an issue with glass top stovea. I've been using mine without any problems whatsoever. My stove is one of the newer models so maybe they have improved over the years.

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

I don't think I would use it on a glass top because it could scratch it. I use it on my gas stove know that I finally have one.

Just don't move it / shake it - it will / does scratch a glass cooktop. (I know from personal experience.)

Yes, I use it on a glass cooktop frequently. Try to match up the bottom cast iron ring with a similar sized burner. I start by heating it on medium-high, until the outer edge starts to get hot to the touch. I immediately turn the heat down to medium-low and let the temperature stabilize for a few minutes before I start cooking the aebleskivers.

I canned on a glass cooktop without any problems. The big problem is the differential in heat on the stove top that causes it to crack, part of it getting very hot and other part not hot. If you keep the whole stovetop (all the burners) hot, it prevents cracking.

Works fine on my glass top. I'm wondering about your bad experience now. I wish I knew more about that!

I used it on a glass top stove. Yes. I soaked it and baked per the instructions. It works great but you must season it. Food luck.

I use it on my glass cooktop stove with no problem, but if you have concerns about induction, you might want to go to www.lodge.com and find a phone number to call and ask Lodge about induction cooktops.

I have a glass cook top on my stove but really think it would work better on gas. I found it to have a tendency to burn on my stove.

I use it on a gas stove, a buddy uses his on a electric stove, so I do not know why it would not work on a glass stove top

I use it on gas stove. Don't know about glass top but bottom not flush with outside rim so may not heat as well.

I wouldn't imagine it would be a good fit for a glass cooktop. It is heavy iron- might scratch your stove. I'm thinking it wouldn't conduct the heat as well as it does on a gas range, either.
