To avoid hijacking in P&E, I’ll refer you to this post regarding glass top cooking surfaces and cast iron (and steel) cookware.

> My rant is that I was doing just fine until I read this article. Cast iron works best with induction stoves. She’s probably afraid it would scratch the glass. Mrs Magill had the same issue when we first got a glass top stove, until I showed her that glass has a Mohs hardness of 5.5, and iron and steel are between 4 & 5, so glass with scratch iron, and to pleeeease stop using my knives on that glass cutting board.
