SisterZ, I do not know the answer to that question, but if you go to www.missvickie.com, Vickie Smith will probably be able to help. She has a website dedicated entirely to pressure cooking. One of her services is to answer questions such as this. You could also try contacting the manufacturer of your range.

That makes more sense! I had a glass cooktop in my apartment, but when we moved into our house it had a gas stove and it made my day! My housewarming present to myself was this set, which is how I know they work well with gas. Sorry I can't be of more help with regard to how they work on the glass :( I personally think those things are the devil and will never have one again.

From what I have read, they do not recommend using iron cookware on glass top stoves. I gave all of mine to my son, who has a gas stove. I bought this item for him for Christmas. However, my brother-in-law does use his on a glass top stove all the time, so I guess it's up to the individual. I had to give my son some other cookware that wasn't even on the bottom and was wearing away all the little dots on my cooktop.

Sorry Barbara, I gave my copy of the recipe book (came with my new pressure cooker) to my daughter-in-law, along with my old 20 yr old Nordic pressure cooker. I'm sure if you contact the Nordic people they will send you one.You can get a new sealing ring through them so I hope you are lucky on the book.Sheila.

I don't know - Other than an apartment I once rented, I have only cooked with a gas stove top. I have a friend with a glass top stove and to me it sounds like a nightmare trying to figure out what you can and can't cook on it. I would suggest asking either the store you bought the stove at or checking with the maufacture. They would know best if your stove can hande it.

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

This answer is late, but may help. I have both electric (glass) and gas. Works on either, and on induction too. But, on electric you may find it works better if you get it up to pressure on one burner, then transfer it carefully to a second burner set to lower to maintain pressure. Otherwise it may take awhile for the first burner to cool down and it overcooks the food. But you have to experiment to find out. Do not let this stop you from getting a pressure cooker. They are fantastic and the food actually tastes better because the flavor and nutrients are locked in.

I have never used an electric pressure cooker. Having said that, I use a gas stove and growing up my family used an old style pressure cooker (with a weight on the top instead of a release valve) that is still going strong - Gotta be 50 years old!! So, I would stick with the one I bought (non-electric). In my review I mention a separate lid (glass) for keeping things warm - and I would get that in addition to the press. cooker because it really helps. I use this about twice a week - no complaints AT ALL. I put the bottom half in the dishwasher. I DO NOT put the lid or gasket in the dishwasher.

Not a good idea. The burner is quite small (5 3/4" diameter). You would risk having your pressure cooker fall off. I'd suggest a larger unit.

This is all I could find... hope it helps...higher altitude more time and liquid.. gg By:sailorgirl Location: sailing the upper Great Lakes Gear Style: Comfort Driven Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer PRACTICE BEFORE PACKING November 6, 2011 GSI pressure cookers seem to cook slightly slower than standard home use units. One document I read said they max. out at about 12.5 psi where houshold ones work at 15 psi. I've found that cook times for standard presure cooker recipies must be extended by a few minutes. It would be handy if the max. psi were given on the instructions or in the product description above. Also, don't be too conservative with liquids, especially where cook times get up to 20 min. or more (i.e. breads), as these lose a fair bit of steam out the pressure valve - not a failure, just a "design feature". Where a recipe calls for 1 C. liquid, go with 1.25 C., if 3 C. go with 4 C. Still, they're light weight and a good size for 1 person up to maybe 4. I use mine on a boat and it lets me eat well on long trips.

Yes! I absolutely love this pan! Works great on the glass top stove but you don't need as much heat as other pans so remember to keep it set lower.

According to the description, yes, you can use it on "smooth top" stoves. Which is another name for glass top stoves. I use this canner on my glass top and have had no problems. I use the big burner and once pressure is achieved, I have to turn the heat down to medium low to maintain the pressure. Do not slide the canner across your top, you could scratch the glass, but that goes for any skillet or pot you use.

I bought this pot. I too have a glass top stove. It is larger than the largest eye of the stove. I use it and nothing has happened (so far). It works fine. Go with your "gut" feeling.

There are "zillions" of recipes on the Internet. Unless the recipe calls for a bigger slow cooker, you will be fine. I am using all the recipes I have had with no problems.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine.I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad.So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best.HJ If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work.

Yes, I have a glass top stove and it works perfectly. I honestly have not been this satisfied with a pan regardless of price. Buy and enjoy.
