Cast Iron

Can you use your cast iron skillets on a smooth top stove?

My new stove should be here any minute, and I'm wondering if you can still use your cast iron skillets on them, or if you have to use different ones? I don't want to scratch the shiny pretty top, but I really love my cast iron.

I just bought a smooth top stove as well, and I never even thought of that!

I did a search and heres some info.

It looks like the main problem would be possible scratching if you aren't careful.
