Is this pan safe for glass-ceramic cooktop?

I am not sure...I have a gas range. It does work well for paella and I do not see any reason why it wouldn't work on a glass-ceramic top unless you have to you special cookware??

Yes. I use it all of the time on my glass stovetop. Just be careful to keep the pan in one place so that the top will not be scratched by moving the pan around. I love this skillet and top.

Elizabeth, we use it on our glass cooktop and have had no issues. Hope this helps.

I use my set on a glass top stove all the time. I don't have any problems with it. I would recommend its use for it.

Yes, that's why I bought it. Read their instructions carefully about preheating, maximum temperatures, etc. I found it to be perfect for glass cooktops.

That's weird that the instructions say that. At the Rachael Ray store at Cooking.com, it says that this set (the hard anodized set) is safe for use on ceramic and glass cooktops.

I have a gas stove, but I have had a ceramic cooktop before I had my Circulon pots and pans and even used iron skillets on it. They (ceramic cooktops) are quite durable. I think it would be fine if you, as a previous reviewer stated, do not drag them across the glass. I love my Circulon!

The instructions that come with the cookware state that this can happen. They do not recommend using this cookware on glass/ceramic cooktops. I'm going to try anyway...anybody else tried?

Yes! It's wonderful! Be sure to first preheat it on HIGH for a while otherwise you won't get a good sear on meat. I think today's glass cooktops are made with "gorilla glass" so they can withstand just about anything.

I don't believe that is safe as while the teflon could handle the heat ,the painted outsides and handles would be done gonners. I'm a firm believer in Pyrex mostly for oven cooking,but theres some recipes I've used where they will reccomend using metal non-stick ovenware. I do a lot of stirfry and sautees.So these pans have worked out great for the top of the stove and I have noticed due to the bottoms of this cookware spreading the heat,my pasta is cooking better and a little quicker.I do reccomend this cookware,It's GREAT,I love it!

I don't have a glass top (I have electric) so I've not tried, but the recommendation from the manufacture indicate the cookware should not be used on glass tops. And, the bottom of the pans are coated in the same material as the sides.

I would be afraid to use it on a glasstop or ceramic stove. That said, I don't know that it couldnt

Yes, I have a glass top stove and I do not have any problems. Holds the heat and cooks fast.

According to manufacturers instructions they are not safe, nor recommended for use on glass top stoves. The imperfections in the porcelain can scratch your glass top and if they boil over can also cause your glass cook top to fuse.

I think "can not" is too strong. The product description says "you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove." That's because of the delicate porcelain finish. My mother has used similar on her glasstop burner for decades with no harm done to either the pot or the burner.

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.

It hasn't left any scratches or marks on a glass cooktop in my experience. I would be careful not to use the very highest heat levels just because these stoves get so hot they can eventually wear down the nonstick surface.
