Can cast iron pans be used on top and in ovens null

Hello molo, Thanks for reaching out to us! We appreciate your interest in GE Appliances, and would be happy to help you with cookware for this range. This particular range has a smooth top surface, and we recommend using medium or heavy-weight cookware made of stainless steel or heavy aluminum. Cast iron cookware is not recommended because if it has a rough spot on the bottom, it will scratch the cooktop. Once this cast iron cookware heats up, it holds an intense amount of heat which is transferred to the cooktop. This can cause the element to shut down as a response to the temperature limiters which indicate if surface temperature is too high for cooktop components to handle. However, if the cast iron is coated in porcelain, it can be used. Additional information can be found in the owner's manual at the following link: (Page 10 for cookware) https://files.bbystatic.com/fSisOvxD3G0ZOi93kLgbmg%3D%3D/1306f4cd-01c4-4fca-8a53-5f6216b36212.pdf We hope this information helps, and we thank you for choosing GE Appliances. Let us know if there are any more questions. Have a great day! -Sylvia@GEA

I use a cast iron skillet all the time. I use it on the top as a skillet and I also cook cornbread in the oven with it. Works great.
