It's a LeCreuset....it can cook on anything any time. Don't mean to give you a short answer, but this is the best cookware you can buy. It will cook on gas, coil stove eyes, or glass cooktop without any problems. And it will last for many years. Best wishes to you and your cooking.

I would not use it on a glass cooktop. Cast iron gets very hot, and excessive heat can damage your cooktop. Also, the pot is very heavy and it will could scratch it if you drag the pot on it. It can be used in the oven. But, to be completely sure, I suggest doing an internet search on this subject. You will find all the correct information to make an informed decision.

I have used it on oven interior-enamel and the glass panel of the oven. I do not know about glass top stoves.

I think so but it is very large. I wouldn't put it on a glass cook top for fear the weight (with food) would crack it during handling. The size is unwieldy above waist height and on a home height cook top, you would not be able to see in the pot unless you stood on a step (assuming you are less than 6' tall).

We used this on a glass cooktop, i cannot remember for sure if it has a TOTALY smooth bottom, but i dont think you will have any issues.

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.

They should be fine. A friend has a similar set which are used on a glass cook top. You could contact the manufacturer to be sure though.

I canned on a glass cooktop without any problems. The big problem is the differential in heat on the stove top that causes it to crack, part of it getting very hot and other part not hot. If you keep the whole stovetop (all the burners) hot, it prevents cracking.

Yes, I use mine on my induction glass cooktop, and it works beautifully. Do regulate the temperature carefully, as you don't want a big heavy pan rocking on a glass top. And as Whitney also mentioned, be careful transferring the heavy, filled pot, so you don't break your glass.

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

Yes, I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Same as below as to clean-up.

I don't have a glass cooktop but my mom does. I think the cooking would turn out fine, but there is a huge danger of cracking your glass when placing or setting this on the glass because it is pretty heavy. I probably wouldn't use this on glass.

Yes, as long as you don't slide it around because that would scratch the glass. Be careful when you set it on the burner.

We have had no problem with this as it is Teflon coated and our stove is a glass top. I do not know about other cooking surfaces.

I don't know. I don't know why it would be a problem. The dutch oven is heavy, but I think as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter that the cook top is glass. Maybe there is something about glass stove tops in the literature that comes with the product, or maybe with the glass top stove.

I have used mine to great effect on a glass cooktop. The bottom is indeed flat, so you should have no problems using it at all.

Yes. I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Just be prepared to cleanup any extra batter that might overflow as you get used to filling it with the correct amount (or be more careful than I was when first starting out with how much you use). :)
