Cast iron cookware with enameling at the bottom is equally unsafe on a glass cooktop.

Furthermore, the global cookware market offers several alternatives such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and non-stick cookware. Stainless steel cookware are non-reactive, durable, and resistant to rust, dishwasher safe, corrosion, scratching, and denting.
