I bought this model. People answering questions said it could be used on a ceramic stove top. The box, however, had a sticker on it saying not to????

I use it on my ceramic stove. I am very careful and do not scoot it across the surface. So far, so good.

This griddle's bottom is raised above the stove surface. Take a very close look at the photo, and you might be able to discern this. Because of the raised base, the griddle will not work with your GE ceramic range top because it must be in contact with the cooktop. Disappointing, indeed. It will also not work with an induction cooktop, because of both this mentioned infirmity, as well as the fact that it's all aluminum. If you have a gas cooktop, it might work well. But I don't have experience with that. By the way, I know these answers to be fact because I went through this three years ago, and finally got the real scoop from a service person at All-Clad.

Yes and no. I bought the Touch Up that was supposed to be for high heat. I used it to cover some scratches on my cooktop and it looked like new. But the first time I used the burner, the part I had touched up turned brown and basically ruined the top of the cooktop in terms of appearance. Whatever high heat the Porcelain Touch Up is supposed to endure, using the burner is hotter than what it's made for. I would not use it on your stove top. It was fine on my dryer where it got scratched, and which obviously does not get hot.

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 have not used it on a ceramic stove top, but it is stainless steel so it is not different than any other SS cookware. There is one thing I need to mention, it is not smokeless! You will need a very good stove fan if you plan to use the smoker in doors. I only use mine on a gas grill out of doors.

The instructions that come with the cookware state that this can happen. They do not recommend using this cookware on glass/ceramic cooktops. I'm going to try anyway...anybody else tried?

I have not tried this, but I do own A ceramic top stove. The instructions that were given to me was to make sure the utinsels were perfectly flat on the bottom and the cusinart-c145-30cr chef fits this description. Worked for me for more than 40 years.Bought this for ny sister ,She loves it. Happy trails George

the mfgr recommends that you not do that. they recommend using a single hot plate rather than a ceramic stove top. that is what i did.

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.

Sorry, but I've tossed the box and don't know the answer. We don't have a ceramic stovetop.

I wouldn't recommend it. The nature of the ceramic doesn't appear to be stable enough to withstand direct heat. And I don't recall the manufacturer stating it could be used on the stovetop. Hope this helps...

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 have a ceramic cooktop and it didn't affect the cooktop. However, anything above medium heat did sage the pot. There is now fine cracking along the bottom edge, about an half inch above the bottom along the side. Not a huge visual blemish, but noticeable. I had contacted the manufacturer and asked if it would be safe and they said it would. I'm considering a return if the problem worsens at the next use. I will say they were very helpful the first contact and i don't anticipate problems. Might just be my unit? Hope this helps!

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

I gave it as a gift but it is made to put hot tea in and no porcelain should not be "put" on a burner. It's not for cooking.. You might be thinking of the old porcelain coated pots like my grandfather put on his stove top.

I don't have a dishwasher (actually I do His name is Richard) so don't know about dishwasher & I do not have a ceramic stove top so can't answer either question, sorry. But I love the easy clean up & none stick to it.

i don't have a ceramic/glass top stove, but this is the best answer i've found. There are some differing opinions on this discussion but one of the common themes to be a suggestion to use a diffuser, or flame-tamer underneath a pan so it doesn't scratch the surface. Also, don't slide the pan around - lift it up and move it.
