Does this pan heat unevenly (for example, only in the center) even on a gas stove/range? Or does the uneven heating happen only on electric stove/ranges?

a bit uneven but not as bad as i thought it would be when i bought the pan. I love it and use it often. I use it over a lager out door gas flame.

I have a gas range, so I can only tell you that it heats unevenly on that surface. It is so large that I tried lighting the front and back burners simultaneously to see if the problem would disappear with more heat sources. It did not. It performed well in the oven and we enjoyed it tremendously over an open camp fire.

Hi - I had a non-GE smooth top range and it fit OK, but it really doesn't cook all that well on that type of range. The griddle portion sits above, not on, the burner and it's almost impossible to get two electric burners of different outputs to heat it evenly.I've since replaced that stove with a commercial-style gas range, and it works much better. I don't like the shape of it for pancakes, but I've cooked 2 lbs of bacon on it and it came out great.

I've used it on an electric stove, but it takes a quite a bit longer to heat up compared to a gas stove, mainly because of the small surface area touching the electric element.

I use the pan on a flat top electric stove with the pan being heated with a small diameter heating element. Under those conditions, the handle does not get hot. I do not normally cook more than two eggs at a time- usually just one. I like the pan a lot.

My oven is electric, so I have not tried cooking with this pan in a gas oven. But years ago I had gas stoves for cooking, & I don't recall that there were any particular restrictions on the use of the oven. At least, I used gas & electric ovens in the same way & found no differences between them. You might check with someone in a department store homewares department or google the question.

I was very unhappy with mine as the bottom warped so badly that it wouldn't sit flat on the burner (electric stove). Thus it would never get hot enough. I had to use a gas burner on my gas grill to cook. I returned my purchase

I have use it on my gas range with no problem. This pot heats evenly and quickly. I use it for Soups and Gravies... Hope this helps.

I have an electric stovetop and yes they heat evenly. These are awesome pans. Easy to clean and good quality.

All of the pans, including the griddle, have a copper heat-dispersion system built in to the bottom, however, the pans other than the griddle are smooth. The griddle's bottom is smooth in the center, but has rough, concentric rings of ridges around the outside corners. These ridges are far enough away from the center that the'll not touch a raised burner. They might scratch a flat, glass stovetop, though.

When the ring is set on the burner, and the wok on top of that, then it distributes the heat more evenly, plus keeping the wok stable. I have a glass top electric, but I was told that the ideal heat for a wok is a gas burner stove. When you have a gas stove the flame is much more evenly distributed on to the wok. Mine has worked fine so far and I love it. After I bought this one I read in a Chinese cook book that this kind of wok is the very best to own. I was happy about that as I took a long time deciding which one to get.

I have an electric stove that are coils and have had no problems with the pan. I really like the size for cooking the big stuff and with the metal handle I can put it in the oven also.

I'm actually not sure I have a regular electric stove. I would guess it would be of but I wouldn't have it on extreme heat since those pans can get very hot.

I personally have not had this problem. We make our pancake at least once a week on ours and no problem with them cooking uneven. We have also put it griddle in different locations.

I have a gas stove, but it's been my experience that they cook evenly. I'm very happy with this set.

It didn't on my electric stove top, but I now have a gas range and if the oven or another burner are also on, it does get too warm to the touch. I use my cast iron sleeve on it.

I have a gas stove. But mine heats up evenly. I don't have it on HIGH heat. It's perfect for me.

Sorry but no idea about the glass top but I have an electric stove and have had no problems at all. Not sure why it should be any different. However, I don't put the heat on the highest temp -- just a middle one.
