Will this griddle work on an glass top range? Is the bottom completely smooth or will it scratch glass?

The bottom is indeed smooth and should not scratch the glass used for ranges. As for its performance, I am unable to answer because my experience with this product is on my gas range.

It is perfect for a glass top. That is where I use mine. And this is a very good product. I I were to buy another griddle, I would not bother to look for anything else.

Yes, it works on a glass top and no it has never scratched or damaged mine. I've had it for 3 years.

yes!i have a glass top range. this is the best pan i ever used! for real!! it is so smooth, easy to clean, stays immaculate and cooks evenly. the bottom of the pan is strong and stays flat and does not scrape the glass at all. i highly recommend these pans. i bought 2!

I don't really know the answer to that since I do not have a glass flat top range. I do know that if I did I would be concerned about scratched occurring from the cast iron grill.

I'm going to suggest a no. On the underside it sits on a corrugated ring, which actually works perfectly to keep it in place on my gas stove burner grates and for me it works beautifully. But I have to think that each point of the corrugation would possibly scratch a glass stove top. More so than the bottom of the cast iron pan would. I am a member of a Facebook group called Cast Iron Cooking. Many folks on there use cast iron on their glass top stoves successfully. You just have to be careful not to slide the pan (scratches) or drop it (heavy and could break the glass). But in my estimation this diffuser is just not designed for a glass top.

Yes, you certainly may. I have been using a Lodge 10.5" griddle on my glass cooktop for nearly 3 years and it has not damaged the cooktop in any way. Two caveats to keep in mind:1) Set it down on the cooktop *gently* - cast iron is heavy and there is a greater risk of breaking the glass if you're not careful.2) If you want to shift the position of the skillet, do NOT slide it - instead, lift it up and move it where you want, then set it down carefully. The bottom of cast iron is not smooth like aluminum or stainless cookware, if you slide it on a glass cooktop it may scratch it. Yes, you certainly may.

Yes, I use mine on a smooth top range all the time. You just have to make sure that you clean the bottom grooves well so it doesn't scratch your stove top. This pot is great for pasta and I love it when I make caramel or melt marshmallows for krispie treats. Non-stick coating is excellent.

Its not completely smooth, there are small grooves, very shallow, cut into the bottom in concentric circles. Not sure if it would scratch the hot plate.

It wont scratch at all but with ceramic-glass tops they can always be damaged with the avid cooker

I have a glass cook top and have no problem with scratching. The pan stays flat at higher temps. I love it.

I do not believe that this pot is recommended for a glass top stove. However, it does have a smooth bottom and I have used mine several times on a glass top stove without any problems.

It is a stainless steel pan. If you use other stainless steel pots on your glass top stove, I can't imagine why you would not be able to use this one. There are no "pointy" things sticking out to scratch the glass. Get on the Manufacturer's Website for a definitive answer, if you are concerned.

This steamer does have a flat bottom, works fantastic, my range is gas with a porcelain top. I see no reason why it would not work on a glass top, but I would check with your manufacturer as to the weight you "elements" hold, I was told that the ceramic is only re-enforced within the element ring and they are rated at different weight load, so check it out!

It is smooth, but woks dont work well on glass top stoves. they need the heat of the flame coming up the side to cook all the way around. They tend to take a high amount of heat on them and glass tops only put heat on the bottom/touching surface.

It hasn't left any scratches or marks on a glass cooktop in my experience. I would be careful not to use the very highest heat levels just because these stoves get so hot they can eventually wear down the nonstick surface.

This pot was bought as a gift for my daughter who does not have a glass ceramic stove top. The pot came wrapped in plastic so I did not check out the bottom of it. I have a ceramic stove top and the pans that I have that have grooves in them have not scratched my cooktop. Don't know if my answer will be of any help to you.

According to www.lodgemfg.com, it will work on your glass cooktop. It does say however to not slide the cast iron on the glass top. This link should give you more answers. http://www.lodgemfg.com/useandcare/seasoned-cast-iron

I have the GE Profile ceramic top and decided not to use it. The bottom is grooved and would easily scratch your surface. I took it to a vacation home and use it happily on my gas range top.
