What goes with glass-top stove

Cast Iron PanVerdict: YES, WITH LIMITSYes, with limits. Use cast iron only if your stove’s manual allows it and the pan has a smooth, flat bottom. Set it down gently and lift it to move it; never drag or drop it. Choose another pan if the bottom is rough, warped, or ridged.
Magic EraserVerdict: YES, WITH LIMITSUse a Magic Eraser only if the instructions for your exact cooktop allow it. Melamine foam cleans by fine abrasion, and many glass-ceramic makers prohibit abrasive sponges because they can scratch the surface or leave a dull, uneven sheen. Wolf allows one for hard-water stains on its glass cooktops, but that does not apply to other brands. For routine cleaning or burned-on food, use the cleaner, pad, and scraper specified in your manual.
