We recommend using medium to heavyweight stainless steel cookware made with a full cap base when cooking with a ceramic/glass top stove. Thinner pans (and pans that do not have a full cap base) may warp and not work as effectively on your stovetop. When selecting product, try to match the burner size as closely to the pan size as possible — doing so will ensure the pan heats evenly, which results in better heat distribution and can help avoid warping.
Plain aluminum or hard anodized aluminum cookware are also suitable for glass/ceramic cooktops, but may leave metal marks and/or residue on your stovetop that can appear as scratches.
Plain Porcelain or Enamel cookware are also suitable for glass/ceramic stove tops, but please note that product with painted or colored exteriors should NOT be used on a glass/ceramic stovetop. If overheated, this type of cookware can, in some instances, fuse to the surface of the stovetop, damaging it irreparably.
Glass, copper bottom, and cast iron products are not recommended for use on glass stove tops.
Glass/Ceramic cooktop tips:
*Do NOT slide or drag your product on the surface of the cooktop, as going so can result in scratches to the surface of the cooktop.
*Product with rough bottoms can mark and scratch the surface of your cooktop.
*Always follow the product icons on the outside of your packaging indicating which types of stovetops your product is suitable for.
*Always refer to the instructions included with your stove or contact the manufacturer of your stove for further guidelines regarding the best products to use with your cooktop.
