Why can't this be used on glass stovetop. Is it dangerous or will it scratch the surface?

I use it on a glass top stove, and have had no problems. It might scratch in the long run, but I haven't seen it yet.

From what I know of glass stovetops, I wouldn't recommend this, as it may damage your stove.

I would go with what the manufacturer says. It could possibly scratch the glass top and not work properly with electric heat. It is designed for a gas stove to evenly distribute the heat from the flame

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.

I have only used it on glass stove top but here are some things to think about. The stove's heat cures it to drive voc's out and harden it. Sink can't do that. Once dried and hard it is very poor about handling abrasion like cleaning cloths, sponges or abrasive cleaners at all. Chemical cleaners as well. My guess is that it would work for small areas under 1/4" in diameter but you would be replacing it regularly.

It can be used on any glass, it won't scratch the glass. It work dissolving the "stone" with whatever is on the surface, and it removes it. Almost magical, but will not remove scratches from pots in the glass., only food and burnt food residues. I love it!!!

i would not recommend it. Will it scratch your glass? Maybe, or maybe not. However what I would be very concerned about is the weight of this canner when full of water and canning jars. It very well could collapse your stove top due to the heavy weight. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner, and have not problems. Another concern I would have on a stove top, is that water weight is 8 lbs. per gallon. Are you strong enough to get this thing onto your stove top, or off of it for that matter? Also, it has no handles to lift it with. In my opinion, DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLASS TOP STOVE!

I do not think the product will remove scratches from a glass stove top. The product will not disappoint in terms of cleaning brass and silver however.

I agree with the other two responses. I would not use mine on the stovetop as the pan is very thin. Works great in the over though!

Yes. I've had no problem using it on my ceramic cooktop. It won't scratch or damage the surface. Lois

I think "can not" is too strong. The product description says "you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove." That's because of the delicate porcelain finish. My mother has used similar on her glasstop burner for decades with no harm done to either the pot or the burner.

It says right in the description "For use on gas stoves only." If you damage your cook surface (as others have with similar products) is it going to be worth it? I wouldn't try it.

I wouldn't imagine it would be a good fit for a glass cooktop. It is heavy iron- might scratch your stove. I'm thinking it wouldn't conduct the heat as well as it does on a gas range, either.

There is no reason this cannot be used on a glass stove top. Cooks evenly. I love my grill pan and use it almost every night.

I've been using it on a glass stove top without any issues. Le Creuset does state in the manual that they recommend picking up the pan rather than sliding it across the cooktop to prevent any damage, but it's been fine on mine so far.

I do not think it could be used on glass top, which may cause some scratches.

You can use it on a glass top stove, but you would have to be very careful not to scratch the glass surface. The pot is heavy by itself and filled with a stew becomes heavier.
