[Short Answer & Pros Cons Lists!]"},"content":{"rendered":"

The answer is not so straightforward. <\/p>\n

Using fully ceramic cookware on glass top stoves can harm your stove top, so it is best to avoid them. These utensils can scratch or break your stove top because pure ceramic is very heavy. <\/p>\n

Most ceramic cookware that is appropriate for glass top stoves end up being mostly made from metal with a small exterior coating. Ceramic cookware is constructed from natural materials with coatings that mimic metal cookware. <\/p>\n

In theory, cookware that is not 100% ceramic is fine to use on glass top stoves. However, if you have an induction cooktop,  it is likely that your ceramic cookware will not function properly on it.  Check whether it is compatible first before making a purchase. <\/p>\n

What is Ceramic Cookware Made From?<\/h2>\n

Ceramic cookware is typically engineered from metal<\/a>. It contains a metal base which is coated with a clay glaze (try saying that five times fast!). The glaze is what makes the ceramic cookware nonstick and easy to clean. It also allows for the pan to come in a myriad of colors, including  rainbow shades.  <\/p>\n

Cookware that is constructed solely from ceramic can be more taxing on a glass top stove because of its weight and textured bottom. <\/p>\n

Pros of Ceramic Cookware on Glass Top Stoves <\/h2>\n

Ceramic cookware on glass top stoves is perfectly fine. However, you should be willing  to take diligent care of both the ceramic cookware and your stove top. By opting for a cookware set that isn’t 100 percent ceramic, you will most likely save hassle and money. <\/p>\n

Below are some of the positive aspects to having ceramic cookware in your kitchen. <\/p>\n

Conducive to Heat <\/h3>\n
