Since
@fastpakr posted a pic a few pages back showing one. Thoughts about cast iron on a glass cook top?
I know years ago, when glass tops were still a farily new thing, the consensus was that the two shouldn't be combined. Considering how many people like using cast iron has that changed?
Since I left Boy Scouts almost 20 years ago I haven't used cast iron much, ok almost never. I've got a few pieces, but I'll admit that I haven't looked at them in years and last time I did they were rusty. Currently have an old coil type electric stove and thinking about repalcing/upgrading appliances and would like to go with a glass cook top. I may not use the cast iron much, but I do want to retain the capability.
Recently I've had people tell me that you can use cast iron on a glass top if it was designed with a smooth bottom for that purpose. Of course I'm not going out and buying some high dollar cast iron just for that. Seeing the way some of you are refinishing your pans, I'm wondering if it would work to just take an angle grinder bottom and sand it smooth next time I'm refinishing them. If not and I go through with the glass top I'll probably pickup a portable single burner electric to use when I want to cook with the old iron.
