The Best Cookware for a Glass Top Stove

 What is the best cookware to protect your glass-top stove? A glass-top stove can easily be scratched. I love cooking with my cast-iron skillets, and one thing I hear all the time is that you can't use cast-iron on a glass-top stove.

  • 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.
Used with care, cast-iron is perfectly safe and effective on glass-top stoves.

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.
Fran found this David Burke skillet with a smooth stainless steel bottom, and it works very well on our glass top stove. I still use my cast-iron skillets with the cautions I've listed above.
