Has anyone used this on a glass/smooth top stove-top, as opposed to a hot plate?

This is not a good idea for a stove top or a hot plate, you should use a stand wire grid with flame for heat adjustment for this glass wear. Reason I say that is heat absorption for the surface may not be sufficient to keep it from cracking the Corning Pyrex base.. If you do you better test it with water with salt and keep an eye on it. Be ready to shut it down if it cracks.

I think using any cast iron may scratch a glass-top stove. I would check with the maker of the stove for sure

I'm going to suggest a no. On the underside it sits on a corrugated ring, which actually works perfectly to keep it in place on my gas stove burner grates and for me it works beautifully. But I have to think that each point of the corrugation would possibly scratch a glass stove top. More so than the bottom of the cast iron pan would. I am a member of a Facebook group called Cast Iron Cooking. Many folks on there use cast iron on their glass top stoves successfully. You just have to be careful not to slide the pan (scratches) or drop it (heavy and could break the glass). But in my estimation this diffuser is just not designed for a glass top.

I have used mine on a glass top stove for the last 2 years with no problem. I actually have 2 of these and as soon as one comes off to cool I have the other one ready to go. Hope this helps you....

I found this one to be pretty cheaply made and wouldn't suggest it. Try the Nordic Ware cast iron simmer mat; it can be used on a glass cook top.

I have used this and other Lodge cast Iron on my smooth top without a problem. Just be mindful of the temperature because once they warm up they tend to smoke - so lower the heat. Also be careful not to drop or bang the pan on the stove.

Sorry to be so late in answering! Yes, I use mine on a glass top stove and the bottom is smooth. It is a heavy skillet and since this is my 2nd one, I have never had a problem with burning. Hope this helps.

Yes to both of these types of cook tops. I have the no coil smooth top cook surface which I believe mine is glass. I have not had any problems with the kettle or my stove top. Hope this helps. I love my tea kettle.

I never tried it on a glass top stove, but I don't think it would matter. Heat is heat.

I have an old metal stovetop but I did use this on a friend's glass stove and it seemed to do just fine!

YES, we have a glass stove top and use it all the time with no problems. We LOVE this pan!

According to the description, yes, you can use it on "smooth top" stoves. Which is another name for glass top stoves. I use this canner on my glass top and have had no problems. I use the big burner and once pressure is achieved, I have to turn the heat down to medium low to maintain the pressure. Do not slide the canner across your top, you could scratch the glass, but that goes for any skillet or pot you use.

I have a glass top electric stove top and it works great. It takes a moment to figure out the right temperature but once that is resolved, it is good to go. I wash it after it has cooled slightly and it cleans up well. If anything sticks, just let it soak.

The outside is very smooth - I would have no fears using it on a glass top stove (versus a normal cast iron pan that might scratch the stovetop)

Never tried it, but have read to never use on glass top stoves due to weight and uneven heating.

Yes I use mine on my glass top all the time and love it. Follow directions for what setting so you don't ruin your pot.
