My wife had to have a damn glass top of all things. What kind of cast iron, if any, are you guys using with glasstops?

Any and all. Just don't drop it.

I use it all the time but every time I do I wish I had a gas cooktop.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

I will never own a glasstop again. That said I use both skillets and Dutch oven on it. Wife is not allowed to touch them because 1)what professor said and (2)she doesn't clean them right.
I've heard that water trapped under pan can blow cast iron to pieces. I'm very mindful of that.

I love my gas range. Hated the glass top. But it worked fine with cast iron though

Are you guys using plain cast-iron or cast-iron with some type of coating?

Drop one. Problem solved
Get gas range
Best thing we ever did. Wife demanded gas top with gas oven.

Used my plain cast iron skillet on the glass for years in my previous home. Like others have said, be careful and don’t drop it and you’ll be fine.

Uncoated and use it all the time on glass top. Eventually replace with gas range(waiting on natural gas) but may have to settle for propane tank.

The rental I'm living in has a glasstop and I have not had a problem with my skillets.

Why do you guys not like the glass top

If given the choice, I would cook on a gas stove 10 times out of 10

No flame for one.

Cycles heat off and on, cant keep a consistent temp. The cast iron actually helps with that.
My medium burner won't hardly boil water. Only reason I haven't replaced mine already is because I paid an unreasonable amount of money on it (down-draft), and I don't plan to stay in this house.

Despite what women might tell you they are hard as hell to clean. You let a pot boil over or a bit of sauce hit that eye, and you'll be scrubbing forever to get the blemish off. It easy to wipe up a mess, but hard to clean to look good.

If you've ever cooked on gas you can't go back. Cooking on electric is like camping.. I do actually have a glass top at the lake house, I cannot stand it. I've had it for a decade though, but it does do a superb job cooking suddenly salad. That's basically it's only use

Agree with the others. When we redo the kitchen it will have a gas stove.
But we went through the same thing with the glass top. Got to use coated cast iron blah blah blah. I started off with one that was coated. But eventually we started using stuff that wasn't coated and we've never had a problem.

Don't do a lot of "shuffling" on the cooktop. Place it in one location, and let it sit.
