What is the outside diameter of this canner? Can it be used on a glass top range?

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.

The canner company says "no" but check with your range manufacturer. As it turned out, mine allowed it, and I have used this on a glass top range - without difficulty - for two years now.

I do not own a glass top, the instructions say not to use on the glass range top. Some people in other reviews say they have used it on a glass range-- but it is very heavy when full of jars and liquid and I think it probably could break your top!! Remember it holds 7 quart jars and if a pint is one pound likely a quart is two pounds. That puts the contents of the cooker when you are canning quarts at fourteen pounds, then water halfway up 5 pounds and the weight of the canner (18 pounds )I bet all together it weighs 37 pounds!! The bottom is 12.5 inches in diameter. The top has various handles and screw down locks at it's widest it is 16and3/8 for the handles.

I do not belive it is safe for Glass Top Ranges -- the bottom is very flat and would build up a lot of heat and would most likely break the glass top. I did place mine on the glass top stove for a short period of time in an emergency situation. I use an outdoor single propane burner unit -- works amazing! This is the type I have: Bayou Classic SP50 Tall High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker -- The presure canner works great on it -- keeps the heat and steam outside and is lower than a stove top which makes it easier to load and unload the canner. If you go this route, make sure you check your propane level before you start!

Joyce, mine is on the top shelf and I can't get it down to measure, but the inside diameter is 12 5/8ths. The handles stick out about an inch and a half on both sides. And unfortunately, All American does NOT recommend using it on a glass top range as it can cause it to break...Bummer, because it is a fantastic cooker..

I use mine on a glass top range, even the heavy pressure cooker. Trick is to not cover the entire burner with the pot, leave a little exposed and the heat regulates itself properly. If I put the pots so that they cover the entire burner, the burner doesn't heat properly.

Hello, The canner measures as follows: Height 10 5/8" Diameter 12 7/8" I hope this helps! Ann

Works great for canning on a single small electronic burner; no issues with rusting yet - seems like good quality stainless steel; has a 5.5" diameter, 8.25" tall for the pot, 10.25" to the top of the handle lid.

I just purchased one of these from Kmart and after cleaning it and getting ready to can, read the booklet that specifically states NOT to use on glass cooktop. I returned it for a refund and am now looking for a flat-bottomed canner that is no larger than 1 inch bigger than the burner on my cooktop. I am looking for a stainless steel one that will last. I'm shying away from the porcelain due to the porcelain overlay may cause damange to my cooktop. I read this in one of the reviews from this type.

It is a 10-Quart canner; small for a pressure canner. This sounds like it will fit just fine. Thanx bunches for the insight!

I have a glass top and I use the 21 qt pressure canner, it is slightly bigger than my large eye and it works perfectly. love it.

You should be able to use this on your glass top, but be aware that this thing gets incredibly hot! I have an electric stove, and i have to keep turning the heat down to regulate the canning process.

Yes, I have a glass top range and the product works beautiful. I cook with it several times a week and have not had any problems at all.

Should work perfectly fine on a glass top range. With that said I would caution its use because it is quite heavy. Setting it down too hard has potential to crack the glass.

If you mean a glass top range, I wouldn't recommend it since the pan is cast iron, itll scratch it. If however its the coil style you are good to go.

I have a 10" pan and my 10" Farberware lid fits. The inner rim dimension is 9-5/8".Farberware Glass 12-Inch Replacement Lidfrom the Q & A on the 12" lidThe actual maximum outside diameter is 12 1/8 or 12 3/16 inches. The other important measurement is what I will call the "drip ring" This is the inner ring that goes straight down from the glass dome about 1/4 inch and prevents lid moisture from going to the outer edge. The drip ring diameter is just over 11 5/8 inches.So it seems as if the dimensional relationships are the same for 10" and 12" I have a 10" pan and my 10" Farberware lid fits.

Yes, I use mine on a glass top stove. You just have to be careful about the weight of the canner, so it doesn't crack the glass. Set it down gently, don't drop it or move it roughly.

I measured a wee bit more then 5 5/8 inches maybe 5 11/16 inches outside diameter . It fits perfectly over the small burner on my glass top stove. By the way I love this little coffee kettle and use it daily, often several times a day.

You can use it on a glass top range, just don't turn on the heat, it has a foam rubbet backing that will melt.

Yes, you can use it on a glass top range. Since my pan has the sight crown on it, the part of the pan closest to the handle gets hotter than the opposite side since the weight of the handle makes the pan lean that way. The only times it has any real impact is like when I sear scallops. The ones on the hotter side of the pan get more seared than the ones on the opposite side.
