Ceramic stove top: Can these pans be used on a ceramic stovetop?

Absolutely! I own 2 sets, one for our home and one for a vacation home and they both have ceramic cooktops. Just remember you don't need to turn the heat up very high...

yes, I have a ceramic cook top and it works very well. I like the pan very much and will probably buy the set when I can afford it.

No they will not. They are aluminum. Induction cooktops rely on magnetism to work and so will only work with steel or iron pans.

The web site says they can be used on all stove types. I have gas burners so I don't know from experience. I like the cook ware a lot.

Yes, you can use cast iron on glass top (ceramic) stoves but with some cautions. Cast iron is very heavy and if it is dropped onto to the surface it can crack it. Don't store heavy cookware like this in cupboards or shelves above this type of stove because it could easily be dropped and shatter the glass. Also avoid sliding any iron cookware around on the ceramic surface as this will scratch it. If you move the pan around, lift it and then place it back down. It's possible to purchase special protective cooking pads for glass top stoves at kitchen stores for use with high-heat cookware like cast iron. They are also placed under any cookware that may scratch the surface like this product. Sometimes people place cast iron on stoves with the flame or electric on to dry them after cleaning NEVER do this with a ceramic/ glass top stove, if you walk away and forget about the pan the glass top can get too hot and break. Last, cast iron does seem to work better on gas rather than electric stoves.

No, they can NOT be used on induction cooktop. See the Calphalon site for more information. All Calphalon pans that can be used on induction cooktops have a symbol on the bottom of each pan -- these do not. Almost bought these based on answers to this question, but glad I did some more checking before purchasing -- including going to a brick and mortar store and checking. One easy way to check (if in person) is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, works with induction. There are some other really good sets that work on induction cooktops, including Circulon Premier Professional Hard Anodized Nonstick 13-Piece Cookware Set (much cheaper at Costco than on Amazon).

I do not have a glass top stove, but there would be no reason they could not be used on such

Yes, they can be used.....I use them on my gas stove and they work very well.

I wish I knew the answer to that one, but I'm not really sure. I suggest checking with the manufacturer. I can see no reason why they would not work, but I have never used an induction cooktop, so you'd be better off checking with WearEver. I really hope that they do work, because having used these for a bit longer now, I would love to go back and give them even more stars. They really hold up well and are just the best cookware I have ever used. Good luck with your search.

Yes, I have used it on my ceramic top electric stove. Keep in mind I am gentle with handling it and do not slide it around. Have had no problem

Sorry, but I've tossed the box and don't know the answer. We don't have a ceramic stovetop.

If you go to their website it says you can as long as you use the induction disk: http://www.emilehenryusa.com/info/customer-service.html it will say that they don't "recommend" using them on the stove top, although I have heard of many that have and it's fine. you might just be at more of a risk and might shorten the overall lifespan of the stone.

I don't think so. Its glass. Would you use glass on ceramic cook top? I only use to fill with boiling water.

If the stove uses radiant heat the answer is yes. If it's inductive, then no. Only steel/cast iron (a magnet sticks to them) based pans will work with inductive cooktops.

Yes, I have a ceramic cooktop and it works great. The bottom of this pan has plenty of surface area to contact the cooktop.

I have an induction cooktop and these pots work fine on mine. I would check with the manufacturer of your stove.
