My chrome gas cook top is getting very scratched up by the heavy cast iron burners. Will these work to protect the surface of my cooktop when cooking?

Yes. The burners sit on top of these covers. I've used mine for four months and they look brand new.

Yes they cover and protect the burner area. They have worked very well for me and makes the stove top look new.

I don't know but this and other cast iron skillets are heavy. If dragged across a glass cooktop I would imagine it could leave scratches.

I've read that these can damage electric burners. I'm surprised that the description doesn't say that it's for gas stoves only.

It will not scratch th element. If iron cookware and its content is too heavy the element support will sag or break and will touch the oven liner.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

They should be fine. A friend has a similar set which are used on a glass cook top. You could contact the manufacturer to be sure though.

Yes,,,I have a gas stove top. They aren't deep though, like others I have gotten, but they'll work.

Yes they work great on a gas stove. We have used them for 20years and just bought this set to expand ours and replace one that was just worn out (after 20years of heavy use). Highly recommended!

Yes. They are quite flexible and provide protection from the heat of the pan. It's possible that you might want to double them up depending how hot the pan is.

They are stainless cookware with heavy bottoms. I think they would work on any cook top. I use mine on a wood camp stove and just love them.

Ann, I wouldn't because it's heavy plastic material. It's durable and won't scratch glass/ceramic cook-tops but it would melt if put on a hot stove or one that hasn't cooled off enough. If your concern is about protecting your cat from jumping hot stove, I recommend that you place a pan of water on the burner that was turned off. That way the burner is covered, nothing will burn. When it's cooled, then place counter top on stove. Hope this helps.

That's exactly what I use mine on and I have had no issues. It cooks evenly and hasn't scratched my cooktop. I love this thing!

Use them however works best to clean your cast iron, depending in the size/shape of the cast iron being cleaned. I recommend not using when the pan is still extremely hot.

This cover will extend over the pan edge when used on smaller pans. If the pan is smaller in diameter than the burner flame and the pan is shallow - as in a frying pan the non-metallic portion might get exposed to open flame and cause a problem. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to use it with a gas stove.

it could damage your stove top. You can buy heat diffusers at your kitchen store that will help heating evenly and maybe also protect for stove top.

Cast iron works on induction burners so this comal will work. Be careful not to scratch your stovetop though. If the bottom of the pan is rough then it could scratch it if you move it around. I have read of people using a sheet of parchment paper, paper towel, newspaper and even a silicon baking liner between the pan and burner to prevent this. All claim that it won't catch on fire. Here is a forum talking about it. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/912355

this one has smooth bottom and i think it should be safe to use it on those smooth cooktops. i cant guarantee because all my live i had gas but by looking at the bottom of that pan it shouldnt scratch or break your cook top. im personally very happy with it.
