Does anyone know of a good cookware set that will NOT fuse to glass stovetops for under $130?
I’m looking to get my parents a new cookware set, but they have a glass top stove..And I noticed with the paula dean cookware it says that the pans can fuse to the glass top and that the company will not be held responsible if this happens…Does anyone know of a good brand that is around $130 or less that will not fuse to the stove top?
Thanks!
Hiya Kimi Ok I have a ceramic (glass) cooktop. My pots of preference are the Farberware or Cuisineart in that price range. They last forever and look great and offer a quick heat on the glass surface. Also I looked up these pots and there is no ceramic cook top disclaimer that I can see but I am not discounting this. Altho rubber handles is not something I am fond of. AND you can not put them in the dishwasher !! Bummer
Ok I found this –
“These pots are suitable for solid plate, glass/ceramic, radiant ring, halogen and gas stoves. The thing I did learn was not to put a hot pan/pot on a cold glass burner. I have been doing it for years and I never had a problem but after reading that they can become fused to the burner I will stop doing that. The non-stick surface they use in these pots/pans is called Polytetrafluoroethylene which is another fancy name for “teflon”. My only concern is that they say on their instructions that decorative pan bottoms may not conduct heat evenly on glass/ceramic stovetop’s. I find this strange since the bottoms are decorative and they indicated that they can be used on Ceramic stoves.”
Do not get copper bottoms.
Reserve Teflon to 1 fryer.
Link to follow But I’m not sure where in the world you are!
