will this work to can quarts, will the diameter work on a glass-top electric stove?

The first time I used this was on my glass-top electric stove. It worked in boiling 2.5 gallons of water... but barely, and usually needed to be lidded. Since then I use a propane fueled burner, which is much more efficient, getting to a boil more quickly and maintaining a much higher temp.

I'm afraid I'm of no help here. It can certainly hold quarts, but I don't know what else is required for canning. We use ours on commercial gas stoves, so I don't really know if they would work on cooktops. Sorry!

Yes, it works to can quarts. I probably canned 50 quarts with it last fall, in addition to making a huge pot of applesauce. And it worked quite well on my 4 burner glass-top electric stove--excellent heat transfer. It is large enough that it makes the rear burner behind it unusable for all but the smallest pot. An impressive pot for the price.

Haven't used it for canning but based on my canning experience, I don't know why it wouldn't work.

How many quarts can I do at one time? Would it do at least 7 quarts at one time?

I can't imagine that it would not . I have a halogen glass top stove and it works great on that. The only thing to remember is not to heat it at too high a heat. I never use anything more than a 6 on a 1 to 10 scale.

Im sorry I dont know anytime about glass top stoves. I bet if you email or call Calphalon someone else has had the same questions.

I use it on my regular electric/glass top stove. Very nice pan. Works great and cleans up nice with a little bar keepers friend.

You would have to measure but I believe it would. It fits a standard electric top stove perfectly.

Works great. We've used it on our glass top electric stove with no problems.

I think you might want something a little wider. But I don't see why it wouldnt work. I put it on four burners to get it to boil as quickly as possible. Holds heat real well though

Yes, I use mine on my glass cooktop and it works fine. Same as below as to clean-up.

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

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.

I don't know. ... Don't have a glass top... but its great on a camp stove.... Works on electric too....

Yes, absolutely ! I've been using it on an electric stove top with coil and it works fantastic. Set it to "high".

Sorry, I do not know. I have a flat, glass/ceramic top stove with resistance heating elements. Recommend you go directly to Caphalon website for your question. Good luck.

I don't think so. i use mine on a electric stove with standard coils, it works fine there. it does not have a flat surface. there is a 1/4 inch lip on either side

Haven't used it for this, but the construction is heavy duty steel, so it would probably work for melting butter on an electric stove. Might not be big enough to fit on a gas stovetop element.

I tried it on mine, and it didn't work. I'm sure this is a good product for gas stoves and even element electric ones, but not on glass cooktops (which I hate, btw, but we don't have a gas hookup at the range).

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.
