03/16/06 		I have read the whole thread on ceramic cooktops and the debates as to which cookware works best. It seems there are different opinions. I am frantically trying to find and purchase the correct cookware. I have had no problems with the efficiency of the oven or cooking on the stove top, just this:

We bought our oven in 2001, it's ceramic top is black and gray. Next week will be the 3rd time to have the cook top replaced. The ceramic top gets black specks which seem to be underlying, but are visible as the pattern is disrupted. The black spots get bigger in time. Originally I had old revereware with copper coated bottoms.

The second time the ceramic top was replaced I purchased revereware with a good solid base disc made of copper, (thinking the original revereware were not even and scratched the stove top). Probably my second mistake. Now I have purchased Emeril cookware, stainless steel with the base having interlays of stainless steel, alum, and copper.

After reading all the debates on the ceramic thread, I know I need to return this set of cookware. I really believe the culprit is the copper and as someone else had mentioned in the thread, that maybe not completely cleaning all the cream off the top may effect the ceramic. I need to get another set of pots before next week. Our warranty is up this April and so no more replacements. What exactly is the better kind and the better brand of cookware for ceramic glass tops?

Pam, I have been using All-Clad Stainless pots on my Ceramic stovetop and they have been working great. Love the pots and pans but hate the stove. I have been considering an induction cooktop that works similar to gas as I don't have access to natural gas where I live and propane loses BTU power with gas stoves.

Does anyone know if I can use my mom's, like new, aluminum 1950's Guardian Ware on my "new" ceramic cooktop?

I purchased two Schott Ceran stove tops (total of four burners) about 6 months ago. I use two of the burners about 90% of the time. There is a dark brown ring around each burner. What caused this. It looks terrible - especially when the burners are cold. My company keeps trying to wash the brown rings off. I paid $600 for these burners from Schaeffers here in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am very dissatisfied with them. Please tell me what to do. I still have the cartons that they came in. Donna Stoll

I suggest you contact the manufacturer, this is beyond my scope.
