Anyone got one and are they any good for cooking steaks on?
Can they be used on a ceramic hob and which makes/models are best?

    I have one which I use a lot for all meats - steak, chicken, chops etc.
    Not sure about the ceramic hob, but I can't see any reason why not
    Mine is a cheapo one that came back with my dad from France, so I can't help you with makes / models.
    Some of them are coated, and these can rust after a while, and don't leave them sitting in water.
    I wouldn't be without mine now - much better than frying or grilling.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I got mine from Lakeland. It is one of those kitchen items I know I will never need to replace as it is built to last. We are gas too and I never cook a steak any other way.

    Mine's a Le Cresuet, which you have to get really hot, its very good but it sets the fire alarm off!! I noticed a lot of aubergines around lately & plan to grill some of those on it as I've heard they work very well.

    It's great for steaks. I have a gas hob though.

    I have a Le Creuset one too. No problem using it on my ceramic hob.
    (As with any pan just be careful to always lift it, don't drag it across the hob.)
