Can this pan be used on a ceramic top stove? I know aluminum is not generally recommended.

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.

Been using it on my ceramic top stove every morning for a couple months, no issues.

I have a Ceran (glass) stove top. It works great on that, as the pan is nice and flat. Hope this helps.

I do not know. Are there specific pots you can use on a glass top stove? This is an aluminum pot ... which I absolutely love ... if that helps at all.

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

Yes it can. I have a ceramic stove top, and it works perfectly. You just have to remember to always lift and not slide the pan as it will scratch since it's so heavy. I truly love this pan!!

The bottom is indeed flat so theoretically it can be used on a ceramic top. I have a plain stove but I think you would like the functionality of the pan. The bottom is metal and I am not sure about how ceramic tops work but I use my pan to cook most of my meats like burgers and steaks with good results.

I do not think it will work on a ceramic cook top. It requires flames to contact the steel surface to distribute the heat properly. Without the flames, you wont get optimum cooking temps. They dont work great on gas cook tops either, unless they are high BTU burners. This is why I use it on an outdoor cooker meant for fish fry's and crab boils.

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

I think I read somewhere that you can use it on a ceramic cooktop with some reservations I would contact the company.

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.

I have a ceramic top and it's fine. I assume it would also be fine on the coils. If you have an induction electric stove, you might want to ask specifically about that. I don't know.

Aluminum pans will not work on an induction stovetop which has a glass cover. They will only accept cast iron or stainless. There two other types of glass top stoves that will take aluminum pans.

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...

Do you mean on an electric stovetop? Yes you can. You can use it on top of any heat heat source (except induction as its aluminum)..

Yes, any pan can be used on an electric cook top...it doesn't matter what heat source you use. These can even be used for cooking over a campfire. I have this pan, and it's the best I have ever used..Absolutely love it!

I've only used it for stove top cooking, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. It's clad in stainless steel. Much sturdier than typical aluminum pots, and the handles are metal also.

That's a good question. I have a gas stove. I would imagine that you could use it on any type of cook top. I made quite a bit of jelly in it last year and I have to say I really like it.
