Ceramic (glass) cooktops--Which pots can be used?

Lew · 2004-05-16T22:40:25+00:00

We are considering installing a GE electric ceramic cooktop range, butsome of the useage instructions have us worried. Our favorite pots areenameled cast iron European pots (Creuset) that work very well on ourold electric coil elements stove. We also have some cast iron potsthat are not enameled on the bottom but are reasonable smooth.The instructions say not to use either of these. The ones withoutenamel bottoms could scratch, and even the enameled ones could heat uptoo much and trip the heat-control mechanism in the cooktop.Does anyone have experience with this situation, or advice on whetherthese pots can be used safely?I'd hate to have to buy all new pots!TIA.Lew

I use all sorts of stuff but the heavy, flat bottom pans seem best.
