Why can't this be used on a glass top if ithas a flat bottom?

My daughter-in-law has a electric top stove with glass cover and it works just fine for her with no problem

This information comes from the company that produces the canner maybe you could contact them directly to find out.

I'm not sure why the instructions say not to use on a glass top, but I have used it many times on my glass top with no problems. Probably if you used it for more time than the 25-30 minutes most things call for, it may get too hot, but I have using it for years (this is my third one) without damage to either the cooker or the stove top.

This canner has circular ribs in the bottom which limits direct contact with the glass top. Since the bottom is not flat, I believe that is why this canner is not recommended for glass top ranges.

The glass on top is not removable. You would to secure a piece of wood somehow or it would slide off. Not sure it would work. Also would not look good at all I don't think.

I do not have a glass top currently, but the very flat bottom on this pan would work well, I think.

I use it on a gas stove, a buddy uses his on a electric stove, so I do not know why it would not work on a glass stove top

I have a regular electric stove and it works great! Don't see why it wouldn't work on a glass top.

I found this one to be pretty cheaply made and wouldn't suggest it. Try the Nordic Ware cast iron simmer mat; it can be used on a glass cook top.

Yes. I was concerned with the bottom being flat enough to use even on an electric glass top. However, this brand has been very good and does not hop around as some other flat bottom carbon steel woks would. The flat bottom wok is more versatile than the round bottom version which would not conduct enough heat even with a wok ring on an electric stove.

The bottom is absolutely NOT flat. It is concave about 1/8" at the center. So it will NOT sit flat on the glass-top stove, it will NOT have the best heat transfer on a flat-top stove. Just set the pan on the edge of your counter and you can see it. When a bit of water is placed inside the pan it slowly pools around the edges, which means the inside isn't exactly flat inside either (though seemingly nowhere near as concave as the bottom).

The bottom is perfectly flat. Don't know anything about pans on glass topped stoves.

Of course...why wouldn't it be???? I have used mine since November on my glasstop.

No. From the photos there will not be any flat even contact with the glass top stove. It won't heat correctly.

Yes it can. We have a flat top glass stove and it works just fine. The bottom is flat, not rounded as other woks are.

I use it on my glass top. It has a smooth aluminum bottom. I have had no problems at all.

Yes it can. It has a flat bottom and is marked for use on glass-ceramic stovetops and induction stove tops. We have a glass top stove and it works great.

I haven't tried it but I don't think it would work. The glass is fairly thick.

There is an indentation inside of the lip on the bottom, but the inside middle is flush with the rim, so I'm pretty sure you can use it on a flat top range.

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.
