I would say do NOT use cast iron pans with a glass top range. I did lots of research since we updated from a 26 year old coil style electric range. Everything warns about scratching the surface. You probably COULD use the cast iron pan, but it would probably scratch and potentially lead to breaking the stove top.

If the cookware has a burr or rough spot, it will scratch the glass surface. Additionally, it is slow to absorb heat. Once this type of cookware heats up, especially on high heat, it holds an intense amount of heat which is transferred to the cooktop. This can cause the element to shut down as a response to the temperature limiters which indicate the surface temperature is too high for the cooktop components to handle. We hope this is helpful!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We use cast iron pans on our glass top and never have had any issues. Just keep the bottom of your cast iron pans clean and free of grease/oils.
