What extra care does a heavy cast-iron pan need on a glass hob?

Its weight and surface can damage glass if it is dropped or dragged. Compatibility with the heating method does not remove the need for careful handling.

What the observation means

A rough or dirty base can mark the surface. Pan supports are not present on many glass hobs to absorb careless movement.

A useful next step

Lift cookware carefully rather than sliding it, within your ability to handle it safely. Keep the base clean and use the permitted size. If glass chips or cracks after impact, stop using the hob and arrange assessment rather than continuing because the pan still heats.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
