If you have an induction glass top, stove you need new pans if you don't have conductive metal pans. I opted for a regular glass top stove because I have some of the old corning ware pans that I can use on the stove top and didn't want to get rid of them. On my new stove top, all my old pans (Teflon, ceramic, stainless steal and copper bottom) work just fine. I have more trouble adapting to an electric range (before I moved to our new house I had been using a gas range for over 30 years).
