The cast iron pots, pans and griddles all seem to work very well. I cook our bacon in the oven on a cast iron pan or griddle and it comes out beautiful. No need to turn it as it cooks and browns on both sides with the cast iron. As it finishes I take the bacon and put it on a paper towel and plate and place it in the warming oven to hold until the pancakes and eggs are ready. I have found the the warming oven is my best friend when cooking. Also I have an extra eye that I sit on top of the stove surface to the far right and while cooking things that are going too fast I put them on the extra eye ho hold until the other items finish off.

Glass will do fine in a wood cook stove. Heat is heat; it doesn’t matter the source of the heat. Glass will do fine in a wood cook stove.

I also use a couple of Corningware baking dishes in the oven all the time but I don't have any glass sauce pans, so I can't give you an answer there. Perhaps someone else can help you?

Can I use glass cookware in a wood cook stove? I am embarking on getting rid everything I don't need and am moving to a place with only a wood cook stove. Do I get rid of my glass pie dishes and glass bake ware? Common sense says yes, but I am just not 100% sure. Thanks for the help. michelle Help! Can I use glass cookware in a wood cook stove?

Even so, I still like to cook on our newer wood stove (crock pot meals are great that way) and enjoy the meals all that much more knowing we don't require electricity to do so. I was never able to bake properly in that stove I learned on though, so still have to learn that skill, but will look forward to trying when I have a stove with a firebox big enough to cook in. I have to admit I have been looking around, and have found a couple of wood stoves I really do like as well.

Let me tell you, there's nothing like the smell of freshly baked coming from a wood stove oven.
