For glass cooktop, when both a high & low cook times are give, for the high does it mean to leave it at the same temp that was used to reach pressure?

At the begning the of cooking the temp will be high and After it makes noise and the yellow button raise u have to lower the tepm! Make sure after the yellow button raise u must and u have to lower the temp otherwise it will explode at ur face!!!! Make sure never open it after cooking untill the yellow button goes completly down !

Yes,although this particular model only cooks w/the high 15psi. It's the Duo that has the option of high/low settings...but anyway just make sure that pressure button on handle stays up and you're @high pressure cook time temp.

I would address this question to the company particularly with respect to glass top stoves. Don't have one; don't like them. The pot is very narrow relatively to height and I think not an appropriate canning pressure cooker.

If you have a gas stove, do not use the "high" setting. Medium is the proper setting. The "high" setting will absolutely discolor the pan.

You want to use the lower settings , but like myself you have to try different types of cooking on this cooktop ! It will do just about anything as long as you try different settings

You only use that settings to brown your food before you put the lid on and pressure cook it, I think it heats up to a higher temp so you can't use it for pressure cooking your meals. You must use the pressure settings to actually pressure cook the meals. I haven't had any problem with anything sticking when I use the right settings for the task I'm doing.

I use a glass top stove, and never take the heat over med to med-hi. Anything over that burns the pan and ruins the food.

It can be adjusted anywhere between low and high just like a gas stove. I have used it as low as 180, as high as 350 and it can be set to any temp in between. I do recommend either a temp gauge that will take reading at the cooking area, or learn that when the door temp gauge reads 200 , the cooking area is closer to 250. It's not the cheap temp gauge as much as it is the location.I replaced mine and still get the same results. Once I figured out the difference, it is easy to adjust for.

There were settings, Lo-Hi. If you set it to Lo it boiled more slowly than if you set it higher. I don't know what that translated out to in terms of degrees.

I have used these on all heat settings including highest heat. I have never had an issue nor has it in any way scored or burned the pots/pans. I do have a high end cookware set that is double insulated and has a cooper heat displacement plate on the base which you should never put on high heat because the food will not cook properly and you will destroy about anything you cook. But as far as Paula's cookware it is very good and I highly recommend it you can use all heat settings with it.

For some recipes you'll want to quickly cool the pot to prevent over-cooking the dish. Waiting for the steam to release via the valve can add several minutes of pressure cooking you may not want. Typically you then finish the dish by cooking a few minutes longer with the top off the pot so you know exactly when it's done (e.g., rice or risotto is the right consistency).

Yes, it is. I have a glasstop stove and that's exactly the reason I bought them. Just always remember to not use the high heat setting with these pans. The instructions with the pans say not to use higher than a med-hi setting and then turn the heat down while cooking because once the pans are heated they retain the heat extremely well.

The yellow indicator will rise to indicate that pressure has built up, but start timing when there is a steady stream of steam being emitted from the release valve. If you start on high heat the stream will be full, then turn down the heat until there is just a small, steady release of steam. All those instructions are in the information and recipes that came with my cooker.

The top temperature is the "setting"--you turn the dial to place the marker over what temperature you desire. The bottom reading is the actual temperature. If it is not working, make sure you have the right wires hooked up and adjuste for the type of heating system you have.

Yes, it can be use on a glass cooktop with no problem. I remove the red cover on the handle and use it in a 425 degree oven. I've not used it in a higher oven, but you may be able to.

I've used mine for several batches on a glass top, which I felt were successes. Just don't slide it around and keep a close eye on the temperature (once it gets hot it's too hot and needs turned down). I suspect the temperature thing is with the cast iron, though, and not the cooktop.

Heat should NEVER go too high for too long...all pans have chemical treatment, that releases at high temps, not good for the food or the human.Hope this helps.

The Owner's Manual states: "NEVER place or straddle a cooking pot or utensil over 2 different surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture." I've found that the burners aren't very picky about pot sizes; best practices would be to use a pan/pot with a bottom not more than 1/2 inch larger than the max size markings, or less than 1/2 inch smaller than the min size markings.
