This from the GE site says copper is ok, but I've read about people having
the pans melt onto the glass and two store clerks told me you can't use
copper bottoms on glass cooktops. I love my glass ....it's so much easier
to keep clean that those impossible drip pans and all.

Types of Cookware that Can Be Used on the Smooth Glass Cooktop
* Cast Iron cookware is not recommended. If the cookware has a burr or
rough spot, it will scratch the glass surface. Additionally, it is slow to
absorb heat. Once this type of cook! ware heats up, especially on hi
heat 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 surface temperature is too high for
cooktop components to handle.

Interesting- I ground the bottom of my cast iron skillet smooth and sanded
it before using it on my glass cooktop. I don't seem to have any trouble-
maybe I wouldn't notice the element shutting off. I also use my
copper-bottomed stainless steel cookware and have even boiled it dry. My
bad.
