Erickson Sun, 26 Jun 2011 02:32:11 +0000 http://www.cookwarebuzz.com/?p=1048#comment-6226 How do you tell the difference between enameled cast iron (Food Network from Kohls) and painted cast iron (Paula Deen)? I read that Paula Deen cookware can be bad to use on glass top stove tops. I just put in the glass top and want to keep it nice. My instructions say that aluminum and copper can leave white rings on the surface, but at the Calphon store they told me anodized aluminum (their cookware) was okay to use on glass tops. Help, I am hoping for answers so I can keep my new cooktop in great shape.

I really like All Clad cookware, I don't think it would do any harm to glass stovetops, so long as it's not the copper line. .-= Cooktop´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.cooktopreviews.com/bosch-ngm8054uc-gas-cooktop-review/" rel="nofollow">Bosch NGM8054UC Gas Cooktop Review</a> =-.

The aluminum rubs off on the glass and will NOT come off. I'm looking for a set of non-stick stainless steel with stainless handles so I can put them in the oven. Hope this site will lead me to it.

Glass stovetops can reach very high heats very fast and could easily cause a regular piece of Aluminum cookware to warp. Anodized surfaces can withstand heats of up to 1,221 degrees which is about tripple of what regular aluminum cookware is recommended for so this is less likely to happen with anodized aluminum cookware. Again, you can use regular Aluminum cookware with this type of cooktop we just find that their are better options and don't recommend it. Make sure if you do choose to use regular aluminum cookware with this type of cooktop that you pay special attention to your heat and as with any cookware be sure to let it cool properly before washing.

Both have exactly the same problems. Most anodized on the market is less than 3.0mm in thickness, the same as one would find from branded nonstick aluminum cookware. Both will warp at the same rate when we run cold water into a hot skillet (as we all do but know we shouldn't). I find that triply cookware works best - heavier weight and no warping, smooth stainless steel bottom.
