Recommend some rangetop-safe ceramic cookware?

I know my mom has some old Corningware that can be used on top of the stove.. but after searching on Amazon and some googling, it seems that they no longer make those anymore (confirmed by Corningware) 🙁

I need ceramic or otherwise non-metallic cookware because I wanna make some pineapple jam 😀

eh, you cant make pineapple jam in a pot?

le creuset would work, but its spensive. would probaly also last you the rest of your life. check amazon, they had some ceramic/cast iron stuff thats cheaper than le creuset that may do the job, but i dont remember the name right now of the company :/

I read somewhere that since pineapple is rather acidic, a metallic pot will do something strange to the flavor. Le Creuset is just too fvcking expensive.. I think I might just go for one of those non-stick stockpots

Acidic foods only react to certain types of metals. You need a non-reactive metal, such as andonized aluminum. The major metal to stay away from is straight aluminum, which is usually only used in very, very cheap cookware. Provided you have decent cookware, you should be fine.
