I have an electric stove (boo). Would this pressure cooker work with electric?

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.

No, this Pressure cooker works only with 120VAC. It heats only from underneath.My personal comment is that it is a great electric pressure cooker. I use it almost every day. The only one issue I had is with the little plastic container attached on the right side, it falls very easy and is locate just bellow the right handle, if you try to hold the cooker to bring it to a different place, the hand always touch the plastic container and it falls very easy and if it had collected some water you will have an spill on your table or on the floor.

I would buy this one again, which is saying something considering how old it is. I bought mine in the late '90s. Electric appliances are great and I've got many. If my power goes out for any period of time, I'm set with a gas range. Additionally, I can disassemble the whole caboodle and put it in the dishwasher. That aside, what are your needs? Alton Brown recommends against uni-taskers and I, with a tee-tiny kitchen, have to agree. For many, many years, until last year actually, I used my pressure cooker as my "heavy bottomed pot" for cooking almost everything in addition to using it as a pressure cooker. In fact, I would be willing to say that it got used more for non-pressure cooking purposes than as a pressure cooker. Now that's my opinion. For yourself, determine what all of your needs are in relation to a pressure cooker. If necessary, write a list; check out cookbooks-are regular pressure cooker cookbooks convertible to electric?

Hi Becky, I don't know why not. The trick is in the material of your Pressure Canner. My understanding is that if you want to know if a pan will work on your induction stove, try to stick a magnet to the pan. If it sticks, it will work. I see no other reason why a pressure cooker would not function on an induction cooker.

It does not have pressure settings, it is not electric. It is however an excellent pressure cooker!

I would imagine that they know what they're talking about. It works well on my gas stove, but I wouldn't want to try it on an electric if the manufacturer says not to.

Yes, I think so. I have an electric stove with electric burners and it works fine. I imagine it would work similarly on an electric cook top.

Yes, the pan works fine on an electric stove. That is what we use it on. Be sure to season it well and let the pan heat up to working temperature before starting to cook. My wife has a tendency to turn the heat up to high and get the pan too hot at first and then turns the heat down to the correct temperature.

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

Yes it does work on an electric stove, you just have to adjust the temp a bit so it doesn't get too hot.

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.

I think so. All you need is heat to cook with the pressure cooker, just be sure to follow the guide sent with it. Ours is wonderful!!

Absolutely! I wouldn't use it on an electric stove. Just seems weird. I plan to use it on my grill in the summer. We love it!
