Does anyone know if this would this work on an AGA stove with flat cast iron boiler plates? The bottom needs to be a very heavy flat base.

I purchased this teapot in red ... first, the red paint used often sparked, causing it to melt all over my stovepot ... second, the bottom is not in my opinion thick enough for what it seems you need. Overall, I think it's a poorly made teapot and I ended up buying a Cuisinart teapot, which I love.

never tried,only on electric and gas tops,it does have a flat bottom on cooker,glass tops doesn't like groves and ridge bottom pots.

No. From the photos there will not be any flat even contact with the glass top stove. It won't heat correctly.

I would expect not. It is very rounded and requires a ring to stabilize it. This wok shape is best used with gas burners. For your application I recommend a flat bottom wok and use a burner that matches the bottom diameter.

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.

No, it is only designed to work with the dedicated base. It will not work without it. Stove will certainly melt the base, because it's not metal, but plastic.

I am just now looking at this and contemplating purchasing it. However, I use my cast iron skillets on my glass top stove ALL the time and they work perfectly. The only criteria is that the pan be flat on the bottom, and this appears to be the case for this griddle as with all the other Lodge pans. I can't see any difference between using this and using my cast iron frying pans. My stovetop has the "bridge burner" feature which heats two burners plus the space between the burners, so this should be perfect for that.

The bottom is not totally flat. It has a flat inner circle, then an indented section, and then the edge. I don't know why it wouldn't work on a ceramic stove. I say, "give it a try, you can always return it if it's not right."

I don't see why not as not cast iron bottom and from what I understand that is the only cookware they don't let you use on an induction stove. I have the old electric coils stove but figure it works same on other. Hope this helps somewhat.

Yes and no. I used this kettle happily on my old induction range for years and it worked great. I moved and got a new induction cooktop (different model), and the kettle didn't work well on it. I agree with the other answerer who points to the ridge on the underside as the culprit. The bottom does sit flat, but the circular ridge interrupts the continuity of the bottom surface. So, you take your chances with this one.

Clearly not a flat surface on either side, there is a grease rim all around the edges both sides... I would assume it wouldn't work on an induction 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.

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.

Yes, the bottom is flat and it will work with any burner. I am a chef and use these personally.

Yes. I've used it at my sisters house on an electric stove and it worked great. She did have a flat top on her stove though. This pan is hollow underneath so as long as the outside rim of the pan fits on the heating element you'll be OK. If you have a coiled heating element that's small you might have to put a flame tamer or something wider on it to rest the pan on. This is a heavy cast iron pan which in my opinion works the best. I like it a lot. It's definately worth the purchase. When you make them use unsalted butter in the pan. I found that salted butter makes them taste too salty. Enjoy. Yes.

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

I have a flat electric cooktop and it works fine. I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work on a standard range. You might be able to go right to the DeBuyer website and ask.
