Can they be used on the stove top? Now I'm thinking of a set, but can they be used on the stove top?

No, these cannot be used on the stove top. These are stoneware, ie, pottery. When World Kitchens bought the license to make Corningware from the original mfr, they decided to halt production of the pyroceramic because it was "too good"--ie it lasted forever. Real pyoroceramic Corningware can be used on a gas or electric stove, put directly in the freezer, used in the microwave, placed under the broiler---and you can do any of these things with it one right after the other. You cannot do this with stoneware. Oh, yes, real pyroceramic Corningware usually does not break or chip when dropped. If you want a product that can be used on the stovetop and then placed in the freezer, get Le Creuset. Unfortunately, you can't put that in the microwave. For that you have to either heat one serving on your plate, or heat more than that in a Pyrex casserole.

I use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

Yes you can use this on a glass top stove! I have had a glass top stove for a long time & cook everyday with these wonderful pans. This T-fal set is a great set. They cook even & easy to cleanup. I wouldn't cook with anything else.

I am using the ones I have on a gas stove, however I am positive that these will work fine on an induction cooktop. As long as the base of the pot is headed evenly the quality of the eats will depend solely on the cook. Hope this helps :)

They sure can be used.The same rules apply to using non-stick pans on a gas stove as on any other: Just don't set the heat above medium, because high heat wears away the teflon and you don't want that seeping into your food. If you want non-stick pans, these will be great for you.

I don't see why not. They are completely metal. I would spray them with a nonstick cooking spray first.

The material of this product would lend me to believe it could be used - but why would you? Before I did use it on the stove top, I would go online to Nordic and ask them. I use them for scones and it fills the bill completely - all scones are uniform in size and it is so easy to use. I have two of them and they are used a lot. Hope this helps. Jean

Yes, I have used them on a gas and electric stovetop. No problems. They work just as well as some of our Teflon pots and pans. Matter of fact we use them over a portable gas stove when camping.

You could definitely use the set on an induction cook top. It is stamped on the bottom of the pots.

I do not have a glass top stove so I can't really say from my own personal experience. I did however google this question for you and I found many answers stating that you could indeed use these on glass top stoves. In fact, this question has been asked on Walmarts site in reference to this set and some on there have stated that they use thiers on a glass top stove with no problems.

Yes, they can be used.....I use them on my gas stove and they work very well.

Yes they can, but be prepared for the outside to have that burned look on the pan from the high heat. I have this set and they cook very well. You may want to use the cast iron for really high heat if you want to keep the white pristine ceramic look.

I did a lot of reviews on these before I bought them and from everything I read, they were safe to use on the glass top stove. THat being said, when I moved from our apartment to our house, that was my one requirement....no glass top. So I don't have them to confirm they won't ruin the pans, but again I did a lot of research and didn't find anything about that. I will say that I LOVE this set!!!

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.
