We just purchased an LG ceramic top stove/oven and have heard a great deal of conflicting advice on what sort of pots and pans to avoid with electric stoves, partcularly the ceramic top types. The pans we would like to use are a large cast iron Le Creuset pot and one of those long (18x30) rectangular griddle pans from Williams Sonoma, often used for pancakes and other flat surface cooking, that would cover two burners on a normal sized stove. Would it be problematic if I used these pans? Unfortunately, gas is not a viable option so suggesting that I get gas is not helpful. Also, there is not bridge between the elements on this cook top.

I think if you place your LeCrueset on the stove, rather than sliding and dragging it around, you will be fine. The main key is for your pans to have a flat bottom, and not be warped, to get even and adequate heating.

I have a ceramic top stove, and I have never had a problem with the type of cookware I use. I rearly use cast iron, but I have used it, and it works great. All I can suggest is try it and see.
