I've read in other threads that this grill cannot be used on a smooth top range without ruining it. Suggestions??

Yes! I have a flat top electric stove and it works great. I put it on my largest burner at about medium to medium high.

My electric stove has burner elements. I just set it across 2 of them. The Griddle is heavy It may work but it could scratch your glass. Hope this helps.

No I would not put it on a stove. It seems quite fragile. I think it should be only used as intended. There is a metal base in which you put a candle to warm it up, or keep it warm, but putting it on electric stove would probably not a good idea.

Yes - this absolutely can be used on a gas stove. In fact it is going to be better on gas than electric because equalizing the heat with two burners is easier with gas.

I don't know why you couldn't use it on an electric stove or hotplate, I use it on a gas stove. You have to watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over though.

Yes, I think so. I have an electric stove with electric burners and it works fine. I imagine it would work similarly on an electric cook top.

No, this is not electric. It is designed to be used on any stove top. I have used mine for many years, and gas or electric stovetops are equal. This model is especially nice, since it is wider and shallower than the previous ones. Veggies and meats turn out perfect every time!

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, the instructions with the unit said you can use it on either gas or electric stove.

Because it is curved on the bottom, I don't think it would work very well on an electric stove. Only part of the bottom would contact the heating element. We use it on a gas stove and the flame comes up to contact it evenly on the bottom.

Oh yes, this cooks on an electric stove, gas stove, on a BBQ, on a camp fire, or any heat supply, just remember to spay it with pam or whatever you normally use so food doesn't stick. Also, do not put it into the dishwasher, it makes it tarnish, learned the hard way ! I love it ! It works great !

Yes, it will work, we use it flat electric, but there is no reason it would not work on a gas stove. It is a cast iron griddle, nice, heavy weight. Just care for it like any other cast iron, season it, don't immerse it in water, keep it oiled and it'll last forever.

I use a gas stove. But I would think it should be no problem. Instructions state to adjust your flame to confine to the area of the small circle that is the bottom of the pan. No excessive high flame to be wasted and too hot up the sides, I suspect. So you would do the the equivalent with your electric. You will love this popper. So easy and simple.

Absolutely! I wouldn't use it on an electric stove. Just seems weird. I plan to use it on my grill in the summer. We love it!

I have used it inside on my electric stove eyes as well as on my propane 2 burner camping stove. Great griddle!

I would think that any heat source would Work with this item. I don't use electric so I can't say for sure. If you have used cast iron on your cook top before then I wouldn't see a problem.
