- My credo
- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I use cast iron on my glass top all the time. Works well. The thing mentioned above, about it pulsing the burner is mitigated by the cast iron. The cast iron, having a lot of mass, changes temperature slowly. So, even through the burner itself turns on/off/on/off, etc. the cast iron doesn’t cool appreciably during the off periods. Whereas a thin pan of steel, aluminum, etc. will heat up and shed heat faster, giving more temperature variations during the cooking process. It doesn’t have the mass to hold heat and smooth out the temperature changes.
