I don't know if you suppose to our not but I will use it on my glass cooktop. I have always used my old fashion iron skillet to fry chicken, etc. on my cooktop and my stove is 14 years old and I have not had any problems so far. I do cook a lot too.

Cast iron works fine. I have a 10 inch cast iron skillet and a 9 inch. No problem.

I wouldn't use it on cast iron. Best to use just soap and water on cast iron and not put your cast iron in the dishwasher.

You could, but as long as you realize it's going to bend from the heat and weight. I'm not sure what 'sturdy' item other people are using, but I had a cast iron skillet on mine for one weekend and by the end it was bowed in the middle and all the paint had chipped off.

Yes. It can be used just like any other skillet on any cooktop, except for the flat glass type. They don't recommend it for that. It's great to cook cornbread in the oven also!

Yes, i've used mine for eggs on the stovetop. Generally if it is cast iron you can use it on anything, fire, grill, stovetop, oven, whatever.

Sometimes. It's more non-stick than a new, pre-seasoned piece of cast iron, but if you decide to use it to fry an egg, you'll wanna use butter or oil or something similar.

No, I don't think I would use cast iron on a glass top stove. I think it would scratch.

hi. i bought the iron to be a "purist." it's too heavy for everyday use, and if you try to lift the skillet with the iron lid on it, you'll need a helper! go for the glass!

If by 'reduction cooktop' you mean the 'glass cooktop', then yes. I use a glass cooktop and have always used cast iron skillets on the burners. I take care not to set them down hard, of course. I do find you can use lower temps with those. Amazon sells silicone handles for these too.

I would say that yes you could - in theory. I have noticed that the enamel (?) chips off pretty easily. I think the grill might really annoy it. Hunt around and find an old NON-LODGE deep skillet with lid in just plain cast iron and you'' never have that problem. I hate the Lodge finish.

The first thing I would do is to get a wire brush attachment for your drill, and use it to remove all the stuff on the inside of the pan. After you do that, you will need to re-season the pan- Google "how to reseason a cast iron skillet" and follow the instructions. Now your skillet is ready to use! After you cook with your refurbished skillet, you will use the chain mail scrubber to keep it clean. It is a great scrubber and you will be glad you bought it.

I assume it could, but I would always recommend hearing on the stove first. The nice part is that you can use the cast iron with any stove, including induction.

Yes, you can use cast iron on glass top (ceramic) stoves but with some cautions. Cast iron is very heavy and if it is dropped onto to the surface it can crack it. Don't store heavy cookware like this in cupboards or shelves above this type of stove because it could easily be dropped and shatter the glass. Also avoid sliding any iron cookware around on the ceramic surface as this will scratch it. If you move the pan around, lift it and then place it back down. It's possible to purchase special protective cooking pads for glass top stoves at kitchen stores for use with high-heat cookware like cast iron. They are also placed under any cookware that may scratch the surface like this product. Sometimes people place cast iron on stoves with the flame or electric on to dry them after cleaning NEVER do this with a ceramic/ glass top stove, if you walk away and forget about the pan the glass top can get too hot and break. Last, cast iron does seem to work better on gas rather than electric stoves.

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.
