I have several big heavy pieces of LeCreuset cookware and I was told it is holds too much heat to use on an electric glass stove/cooktop. True or not? I need to know ASAP because I need to know to move it or sell it. THANKS |

| Not. LC works on everything. I used it all the time on my old Kennie glass cooktop. You won't find it very responsive though, but that's because of the cooktop, not the pots. |

| The thing is that you have to set the pot down, not fling it or dump it. :) |

| I used a 6-1/2 quart (made in france but sold at Costco) cast iron enamel coated pan yesterday.....induction glass cooktop...NO problems. Works amazingly well. |

| I have a Maytag Gemini electric smoothtop range that's at least 10 years old, and I use LeCreuset and Lodge cast iron all the time with no problems. It might be a problem if you put the burner on the highest setting and kept it there for a long time making the pan super hot, but you'd probably ruin your beautiful LC pan as well as your cooktop. I generally heat the pan up on medium high or high, but once it's hot turn it down a bit or sometimes more depending on what I'm cooking. These pans are some of my favorites, and I can't wait until I can use them on a good gas stove. If I were you, I would keep them and use them. I should probably add that I do set them on my range fairly carefully due to their weight, but I would do that on any range or counter. |
