I have two glass top stove (2 houses) and use regular pans on both of them. Never had a problem.

I've had my glass top for about 10 years and love it. Didn't buy new cookware - pots and pans should be flat and not rounded up on the bottom. Other than that anything should work - I even can on mine and really shouldn't but I do. Enjoy your new stove.

I used a glass top stove for over 20 years with the pots I had been using for the previous 30 years. Never had a problem. Note: I have been using the same pots for 57 years. Good pots do not wear out. Use the movey to buy more fabric. I use the fabric up.

The top is gray with the heat elements a lighter gray. The black coloration looks awful on the light gray. I've tried every cleaner even industrial ones. Maytag told me this was common and nothing will remove the black coloration but will not interfere with the heat temp. I will buy a new cooktop to replace this one when we sell the house. Right now I enjoy abusing the top to see how much it can take. LOL

My sister got one of those real expensive pot for her wedding in 1954. She still has it and it still looks like new. I have wanted on like that ever since. So when I was 80 years old, I bought a water-less cookware set. I sooooo love it. Should have bought 60 years ago. And I do use my cast iron frying pans on my glass top stove. I think the thing that can happen is that if you drop them, the glass can break. I have seen a broken stove top.

As for using old pots and pans on a glass top stove, they need to be perfectly flat on the bottom. Take a ruler and hold the edge against the bottom to test it. If the bottom isn't flat, you are wasting heat.

I have a glass top and use the pans that I had which are cast iron and stainless steel also learning to use my pressure pan on it after each use while cleaning kitchen I use bar keeper friend and scrub with a sponge with one of those ruff scrubbie things on it rinse and dry off occasionally I spray with glasscleaner and after sever al years my stove still looks new

I had to get pots too, nothing with aluminum on the bottom can be used on the glass stove tops. frustrating. also, Ceramabryte or how ever it's spelled cleans them well.

I have had a white glass top stove for 11 years and cooked 3 meals a day on it, I have canned on it, used all kind of pots on it with no problem. I love it would not want any other kind. I clean it and the bottom of the pans with Bar Keepers Friend each time I use it. It does not scratch. My stove looks new. I get the cleaner at Lowes sometimes you can find it at WM. The cleaner is vey inexpensive.

I had a real nice glass cook top stove. I got rid of the stove and kept the pans. The pans have to be perfectly flat on the bottom or they just don't work. The stove cuts out before pop corn is done popping or before water is boiling no matter what pot you use.

What is a glass stove? Or is it a electric flat and it is called glass? Just wondering. I think I would like it better than this new black stove and refrigerator. The frig is ok but the stove is a horrid thing to have to clean, each piece or air even sticks to it. ugh...congrats on the glass stove. Would love to see a picture of that.
