any pan especially with very flat bottoms. The exception is cast iron. due to the heaviness, they will crack the surface. I know because this is what happened to mine. I would rather have a coil-type stove so i can use cast iron. my glass top broke.
Any pan that works on a regular stove works on a glass top stove.
The only time you need to use a particular type of pan is for induction cook tops. They work with magnetic fields so a pan that a magnet won't stick to won't work.
yes, you can.
of course. my mom does it all the time.
Overall a glass top stove is a good choice. But, you can only have an electric stove with a glass top, not gas. It is quite easy to clean which is a big positive. Also, heat is evenly distributed to the pot.
If you mean converting an electric stove with coil burners to a smooth, glass cooktop, the answer is no.

You can, but it will shatter when you turn on the burner! We found that out the hard way, twice - just to be sure.
you needed water in bottom pan . A empty pan placed on heat can catch fire. The reason the pan stuck to the glass is, the metal pan if left long enough would have melted and turned red hot, on cooling again it stuck to the glass. The idea of a double boiler is to put water in bottom pan and whatever is to be cooked in top pan.

yes it can
YES
You can, but it might not transfer the heat as well as if you were using a gas stove. The unit should heat it up over some time.
