use on smooth top range Has anyone used these on a smooth top range? I was wondering how they work.

Yes, I did! They work great, heat up faster, clean really good and the end result food tastes better.

Hey, newkitchen. Did you buy the Rachel Ray cookset and did it work on your smooth top range?

I really don't know. My range is a smoothtop, and it works fine on it. I really wouldn't think it would matter, but I don't know.

I use mine on a glass top range. You just have to be careful when you set it down... it's heavy. I wouldn't slide it around since that would probably scratch the stove top.

I used it on a glass electric range and it worked fine. The bottom is a smooth very true flat surface. I love cooking with it!

They work beautifully on my Amana ceremic cooktop, Helen. I had concerns about the same thing and kept the heat a bit lower. However, my husband who enjoys cooking much more than I do, doesn't even give it a thought. If it says "High" that's what he uses. I don't think you need to be concerned

Yes I have a GE smooth glass top...I sauté a lot and slide the pan back and forth constantly over the burner with no problem...I also have Calphalon, but this is better.

I have a glass top electric range and have not had any issues w/ the pans sliding. I love these pots and pans! They are truly the best I have ever used in forty years of cooking! Be sure to hand wash always, although the lids do fine in the dishwasher. Enjoy!

I found this in the description, Kenneth, "Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges." I have a smooth top electric range, but it's not induction, so it works just fine. I think this particular pan is just not designed to work with the induction ranges.

I would not recommend using this on a smooth top range due to the fact that it warps and you cannot maintain an even temperature.

Hmm, never thought of that. My first thought was to say it would not be good for the smooth top, but I have a smooth top range and cook high temperatures in my regular cast iron skillets as well as my enameled cast iron cookware. Given that, I think it would be okay up to medium high. I wouldn't push it until you tried it out first!

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.

yes very smooth. My nephew has used them at the roller rink and on the black top.

I have a smooth top range and was looking for a flat bottom pan. This one works very well. I've had it for a couple of months now and have been very happy with it. I would buy another one.

They work wonderfully, I have had no problems. They also work better on regular gas range than any other sets I have owned. Much faster!

I have never seen a Wolfe range that these would work on, no. Typically, there is a raised rim around the base of the knobs that would prohibit these from functioning properly.

Clearly as you see by the replies, they do not work. But I wanted to also respond to ask you to please take a basic firearm's safety course. This is an answer you should know before even purchasing said firearm. Please, please get some training from a certified instructor (not some buddy who claims expertise, and is likely feeding you myths and misinformation).

I don't quite understand what your asking but my honest opinion there was no range gain with these however there was a noticeable increase in stability reword your question and I may be able to answer your question more properly
