Acceptable Cast Iron Cookware

Cast iron vessels with flat bottoms instead of ridged or stepped bottoms can be safely used on ceramic cooktops. The bottoms must be totally smooth and free of any carbon buildup or nicks, as these will mar the ceramic.

Prohibitive Features

Smooth-bottomed cast iron cookware coated with enamel is acceptable as long as the coating does not extend to the bottom of the pans. Enamel or paint on the bottom of pans may permanently adhere to ceramic stovetops, rendering them unusable or voiding warranty terms.

Safe Pan Handling

Regardless of the cookware material, avoid dragging pots and pans across the surface of ceramic cooktops to prevent scratching and etching. Gently place cookware atop the surface to avoid cracking the cooktop.
