The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
Heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper
bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed
immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
Recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop glass. The enamel

Not recommended unless designed specifically for glass cooktops. Poor conductivity
and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
