Can this canner be used on a glass top electric stove?

i would not recommend it. Will it scratch your glass? Maybe, or maybe not. However what I would be very concerned about is the weight of this canner when full of water and canning jars. It very well could collapse your stove top due to the heavy weight. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner, and have not problems. Another concern I would have on a stove top, is that water weight is 8 lbs. per gallon. Are you strong enough to get this thing onto your stove top, or off of it for that matter? Also, it has no handles to lift it with. In my opinion, DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLASS TOP STOVE!

My mother has used canners like this on her glass top for decades without any problem.

I know it can be used on electric ranges. I'm not very familiar with cooking practices on glass top ranges, but I presume so. I would recommend checking you owners manual for advice.

Because of the loaded weight I would advise against use on a glass top stove. While it may work well, it is a huge load on the stove top. We have a gas stove and while it will boil on the stove, it takes close to an hour to reach boiling when loaded. On a 70,000 BTU stand alone burner it will boil loaded in 10 to 15 minutes.YMMV...

I have a regular electric stove with coils - although the canner is larger than the coils, I have used it as well as one I wore out for years. You just center the canner over the coil. I don't know how useful one would be that was as small as a burner on regular stoves, wouldn't hold many jars.

yes . Assuming you have no "bubbles" in the bottom of your canner, you can use a glass top stove ,and I know this because that is what we have for cooking and canning.a glass topped stove.So from my own experience yes. you do have to watch the heat and keep it regulated.

By the time you fill this pan, it will be very heavy, because it is made to do heavy-duty cooking jobs. You should check the stove manufacturer's guidelines. I have a glass top electric stove right now, so I use my pan on my gas stove in my patio when I do my canning. However, I used to have an electric stove that had the coil burners, and it worked just fine on that. When I got my new glass top, the manufacturer recommended against putting heavy loads on it. If your stove is the electric coils, you surely can use it just fine. I have loved my pressure cooker very much!

I use this pot on my electric glass cooktop with a 9" burner and it works just fine. I used for cAnning last fall a already this year with good results. No cracked or ruined cooktop!

you should check with the manufacturer - I don't know what the rules are for glass top electric stoves - I have a gas stove - always have -

I don't think so. My stove does not recommend it for the glass top. It does recommend cast iron cookery in the oven. I think it would scratch the surface. I will just use on the extra side burner on my grill or try making waffles in the oven.

I use this pot on a gas stovetop, but it is Pyrex so it should be fine on an electric burner.

Answer by Sidney Patin - I use mine on a gas range all the time. Just make sure you have good sturdy burners because the canner is heavy, about 20 lbs., and it will probably break one of those newer glass tops. The instructions warn you about that.

I believe I read someplace in the literature that came with the canner that it's recommended to NOT use it on a glass top range. The outside diameter of this canner is 13 1/2 inches. It's been a great canner for me. Highly recommend it.

Yes, I have a new glass top stove and it works great. I used it when canning beans this summer.

Absolutely! We use our Can Cooker every week on our gas range. Everything cooks as usual and is delicious. I wouldn't recommend using on a glasstop because of weight. Also check the height of your hood or cabinets over your range

I use it on gas stove. Don't know about glass top but bottom not flush with outside rim so may not heat as well.

There is no reason this cannot be used on a glass stove top. Cooks evenly. I love my grill pan and use it almost every night.

No, you need a stove-top pressure cooker for canning, electric ones don't reach a high enough pressure.
