Would it be possible to use this cooker on an electric stove burner for blanching corn & other veggies for freezing?

I would think so. If the stove can withstand high direct flames then it should be able to.

Yes, but this pot is very large and trapped heat may scorch some cook tops. Reccomend using this outdoors. A decent propane cooker may be obtained for $20.00. ... and you won't heat up the house!

The largest burner on our electric stove top would take forever to heat up this pot if it was 1/2 full of water. Additionally, this pot wouldn't work in the last three kitchens I've had because microwaves mounted above the stoves don't allow enough clearance -- it's a really tall pot. I'd recommend doing some measuring and specification research if you have no plans to purchase a propane burner for outdoor use.

It is a lot deeper than I would like for that i.e. it would hold a lot of corn. The basket sits off the bottom so I think it would just fine. Electric would not be a problem in my opinion.

Yes, yes. I use it on the electric cooktop myself, of course at the beginning on low and when it starts to heat and cook on higher, but this is something you have to do with all stone or clay pots. It`s great. I don`t want to miss it. I have three of them. See also the: Kyoto Maple 9-3/4-Inch Donabe Japanese Hot Pot and the Kotobuki 190-803 Earthenware Rice Cooker, Matte Black. They are the best things I ever had in my kitchen. Best wishes Adriana

Yes! I have a flat top electric stove and it works great. I put it on my largest burner at about medium to medium high.

I see no reason why you couldn't use it for blanching. Instead of cooking pasta just put your vegetables in the inner basket. Then when you're ready you can pull the basket out with the vegetable in it and set it in ice water.

I suppose it should be okay. I use it with single burner electric stove which use a lot of electricity too. Besides it says so in the description.

Yes, it would be wonderfully suited for that I would think. I even use it on my electric range in the house....It is a high quality item that will last decades of you are familiar with carbon steel or cast iron cooking!

The oven may be used on a single burner propane stove but may not be very stable but no to electric stove

I never tried but I did use it on a gas stove. I would assume an electric would work fine. You could just lay in directly on the burner. We love ours.

It is made to use with a propane tank, although I believe they make an electric version. It is a very good cooker.

It probably could though, I am not sure I would do so. It gets fairly hot for melting wax, so it would have to be closely watched to prevent burning or smoking. Then my concern would be the difficulty of cleaning; then you could freeze it and peel the wax off.I got mine to use for cooking as I live alone in a 31' 5th wheel travel trailer and have a very small kitchen and not much refrigerator space. I love the results when I cook with it. I have used it several times to cook a small 'pot roast' with vegetables or a bit of veggie soup, etc. Breakfast egg, sausage and cheese casserole type things do well in it.

I see no way it could be used as a cooker. In the add I looked at it advertised as a heater, no mention of cooker. It is a great little heater, though, if this helps.

Yes you can even though that is not the purpose of a pressure cooker. The best use for this would be to cook meat/vegetable/rice faster with the build up of steam inside.

You absolutely can. We have a gas stove and it works perfectly. Gas or electric,doesn't matter.

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.
