- Well, I use my cast-iron skillets all the time, and here are a few simple rules I follow to protect my glass-top from damage.
- Cast-iron is heavy and has a rough bottom, so I never slide it across the surface. Always lift it to reposition it, never drag it.
- Make sure your skillet has a flat, smooth bottom. Some older pans may have raised logos or ridges that can leave marks.
- Cast-iron holds heat extremely well; be careful of hotspots. Start on a lower temperature and work up to a higher temperature. I never leave my skillet on the high setting very long.
Best types of cookware for Glass-Top Stoves:
I did some research, and here is what I found:
- Cookware with flat, perfectly even, smooth bottoms. This ensures full contact with the glass, allowing heat to transfer evenly.
- Moderate weight if you're using heavier cookware, use the cautions for cast-iron.
- Good heat conduction, Metals that distribute heat well, such as stainless steel with an aluminum or copper core, or hard-anodized aluminum.
