Velos Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I love cast iron skillet cooking but may be getting a glass cook top. Does anyone here use a cast iron skillet on a glass cook top and if so what precautions do you use to protect the cook top? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 My cooktop was an induction burner. Because it doesn't heat anything except the skillet itself. I could put parchment paper over the burner then set the skillet on that.

LindaH Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 We have a glass top stove at home and the instructions say not to use cast iron. However, I've read about a lot of people who do, anyway. If you want to use your cast iron, don't move it around on top of the glass. If you have to move it, like to another burner, pick it up and *gently* set it down again. I wouldn't try cooking anything that requires shaking the pan while on the stovetop.

Ray,IN Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I was told the reason we were told not to use cast iron on our 240VAC electric heat glass surface was residual heat damages the heating strip. I never thought to ask why stamped sheet metal pans were OK though. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis. USA IN 1SG retired;Good Sam Life member,FMCA ."

We used cast iron skillets, griddle, dutch oven, waffle iron, etc., for years and years without a problem. Obviously they are heavy iron, set them down gently. Now i have induction cook top, so still use them. F-250 SCREW 4X4 Gas, 5th NuWa Premier 35FKTG, Full Time, Engineer Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
