How many people have used this product with a ceramic stove top and the stove top was damaged?

I have a glasstop stove, so we purchased a hotplate for it. You can use the hotplate on top of your stove. We chose to set it up on our patio instead. I use it several times a week.

I don.t know the answer but the lit warns about using on a smooth cook top. I guess it has something to do with heat reflection.

I've been looking to buy one and their YouTube demo says it's OK on gas, electric and glass cooktops.https://youtu.be/C4U1Qsih14k.

I used it quite a few times on a ceramic top with no issues. It seems to take a lot of heating, so the stove does get hot, but no issues.

I used it a smooth top for 2 hours and it was NOT damaged. I guess there is different smooth tops because some people can have problem. I took the risk but so far, good.

I've used it several times on my ceramic stove top. No damage at all, but it does not cook as well as on the grill. Takes much longer on the ceramic stove.

Yes, exactly the same thing happened to me. I was shocked because of the price I paid for it. I had an old one I paid a couple of dollars for many years ago....all metal, without a folding handle. Perhaps this one was meant for a ceramic stove???

I have a smooth top electric cook top and clean it with a ceramic cleaner and this sponge and not had any problems. I've been doing this for over a year and haven't seen any damage to the cook top.

It isn't damaged. It will probably come off with a good cleaning with Bar Keeper's Friend. It is a pretty common occurrence with new SS cookware. Happy cooking!!

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I was going to share the same info that L. Botos did; the insert that I received with the cookware (hard-anodized set) stated that it was good to use on a ceramic cooktop (which is what we have). I have not had any trouble with it over the last month.

Hubby has, but I worry about the plastic feet on the product. It didn't hurt them at all, but our stove top burners may be closer together than yours too. Poor kitty ;-(

No, direct heat generally breaks ceramic. Only use ceramic cookware that specifically indicates that it's safe to use on the stovetop. I image that this is probably safe to use inside the oven, though I haven't tried it myself.

I used it once on a glass top stove and had no trouble. I don't remember reading this warning and now I'm going to check this out more before I use it again.

I have a gas stove on which I use it regularly, but I did use it once at my brother's home on an electric stove top, and it worked fine with no damage.

I have only used it on a gas range and it does good there. I can only guess it would work well on ceramic stovetop. Maybe another Amazon user can help you with that. It is a nice looking sturdy pan with good heavy lid and handle, cooks good and cleans up easily and a bargain price.

As I remember reading, I think it's not a suggested method. There might be a model for a ceramic top stove now. Same with cooking using cast iron. My daughter does it but it's not suggested.

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

Yes, we use it on our ceramic glass cooktop. Agree with other writer about it cracking if placed while hot on a cool surface. That's how we lost our first visions.

Yes that is exactly what I have is a ceramic cook top with 5 burners and it works wonderfully. I cannot say how much I love this cookware for wear and tear and durability. I highly highly recommend any of the hard anodized pieces.

I use my cast iron on my ceramic cook top all the time. I'm of course careful not to drop them, but everything has worked fine including my 9 quart dutch oven. I have found that hard anodized heats faster on the ceramic, but love using my cast iron too...

Same thing happened to me. It's a fire hazard. Plus, it puts out toxic fumes when it burns. I was not cooking on high (rarely do, because I use Henckel's ceramic ware). It may be a good product for some people, especially those with electric or ceramic stove tops. And it may be only a few of the items that tend to catch fire. But a few is too many for me. I wish I could return it.
