The description states "not for electric stove". Is it suitable for use with a hotplate ?

Evidently I didn't read the write up because I've used mine on my stove top since I purchased it

I use this with an electric stove, but I do not use it very often (maybe about once a month), thus I cannot testify to the durability of this product when used repeatedly with an electric stove (not sure if it could make a difference).

I use mine on an electric stove. It works just as well. I some times slide the coffee pot off if it gets too hot. I really like the coffee it makes. I get use the finest grind coffee I can get, it works the best dluiken@daktel.com

With electric stove it is hard to control the temperature, so water can boil over. I think a hotplate can have the same problem.

I don't know why you couldn't use it on an electric stove or hotplate, I use it on a gas stove. You have to watch it carefully so it doesn't boil over though.

Somehow I missed the not for electric stove use as that is what I have. My electric range is the smooth glass top style but I have used my Greek coffee pot on with no problems. You just need to lift the pot from the heat when it starts to overflow. I would do the same method if I was using a hotplate.

We use this for our gas stove (it's perfect except we can't find a whistle that will fit it to save our lives). I'm not sure about electric.

Yes. The stove we use is electric, but the material that the pan is made of distributes the heat evenly across the bottom of it. Hope that helps!

I would think not good to be on the electric stove becuase the back of the marble plate has legs that meant to sit on the stove top. So for electric stove you need a plate thats flat and rouch the electric plate surface. This castiron marble cannot do. Wont be able to get heat up properly

I have a flat surface electric stove top so I don't see why not if your heating surface is large enough.

it's not like a hot plate. think of the base like something used to charge/recharge something... like a cordless phone. It's just a means to provide electricity to the pot.

It should be fine to use on electric stove top, just make sure you get correct size to match your stove dimensions. I know some reviews said it didn't fit we'll on electric stove top. I would recommend purchasing the smaller pan size griddle.

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

Yes, I have used it on my ceramic top electric stove. Keep in mind I am gentle with handling it and do not slide it around. Have had no problem

Noreen, this is not electric. I have used it on the grill or open fire. I take it camping, the back yard, the kitchen, you name it. If it is hot, if it has coals, I can cook with it. Noreen, I suggest you go on line and look at the site, http://www.cancooker.com/ all your questions will be answered there. Noreen, I use it a lot. But I am also a huge fan of the cast iron camp fire cooking pans. I think a lot of it has to do with being different and having a great meal to share. Please, make sure this is what you want before you purchase. Like I said, I use it and I love it.

I have a gas stove, but I don't see any reason why it can not be used on electric. It is very sturdy and good quality. I luv it.

Amps aren't listed on the hotplate, so I don't know. But you probably want to know how much work it can do and the answer to that is 'not much.' I got it to keep in the basement for occasional use, but it takes forever to heat anything, even at it's highest setting. That makes it nearly useless, but additionally, sometimes one of the burners cuts out in the middle of heating something. I encourage buyers to look elsewhere.

Yes, mam. I use mine on an electric stove top, but it could also be used on a gas burner.

I've read that these can damage electric burners. I'm surprised that the description doesn't say that it's for gas stoves only.

Only for a gas stove. Electric no good as it doesn't sit perfectly flat. Wouldn't even boil water...

I've found out that you have to match the large fry pan with the size of the burner. Otherwise, you'll end up with a "hot spot" in the center of the pan. If you can move the food around easily, it would probably not be a problem. I have a WOLF stove at home, and use a Camp Chef 90 when camping, and both have large burner rings that will heat this large fry pan evenly. I've never used electric stoves, but other than the weight of a fully loaded pan, I don't know why it wouldn't.
