Does this pressure canner work on seperate single range burners like the BroilKing? I am afraid to use it on my glass cooktop. Thanks

I have this All American 921 and I use it on a Camp Chef 60,000 BTU propane burner outside. It works great. Flame adjusts fine to keep steady desired pressure. I too have a glass top stove and won't take the chance of using it for canning. This canner is heavy duty and I love it.

I use the A-A 921 model on my glass-top stove without a problem. Just don't *drop* the canner on the stove, and try not to drag a full one off a hot burner - lift and move instead - and you should be ok.

That what I am thinking to do here it is some advice on the net;http://www.pickyourown.org/cannings4glasstop.htm

I have an All American Model 921 (21 1/2 qts I think). At the time I bought it we were renting a place with a glass topped stove and I went ahead with my canning completely ignorant of any potential problems. And as it turned out, there were no problems. The stove got more than hot enough to bring the pressure up to the required amount and keep it there and the glass didn't crack. That being said, I would never get one of those stoves myself. Too many issues. And much harder to clean than you might imagine if something gets burned on.

I am going to purchase this canner for my summer bounty. Lost so many quarts of tomatos this past summer to water bath canning so am going to try this. I have a glass top stove and am going to use my gas b-b-q outside that has a side burner on it. Has anyone else used this before and does it work ok??

I emailed WearEver's customer service about this question. The answer they gave is only sort of helpful, but here it is: "We thank you for your email via WearEver.com.

This is a vague answer to the question at: http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/smoothtops.html I have a glass cooktop and I use my water bath canners (including the Back to Basics steam canner) and pressure canner all the time. So far no problems.

I have an old school lodge skillet in my collection. It is a smaller diameter. I tried boiling water in it with no success. My thinking is, the contact area is too small to transfer the "induction" function of the stove. I have the NuWave table too model. My take a way lesson, maximum contact required for best function of induction stove. Glad you enquired about it. Now I need to try it on my cook top. Its my observation induction requires really flat surface cookware to be effective. Lodge has reengineered their pans to be more responsive to induction stoves. If I get a chance I will test them too.

I'm not sure why it says not for use on ceramic cooktops. My cousin that told me about steam canners uses hers on a ceramic cooktop and it works fine. I use mine on coil burners and love it!

Cheryl. I know these are the best you can get for a glasstop stove, however I myself would be hesitant to use them on gas burners, I would be afraid they would dicolor. I would be afraid to purchase them for that but zI have no proof that what I think is true. Reading other reviews customers say they are great. All in all this is the best set of cookware ever but I personally would not use them on a gas top--I have nothing to support that though.

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.

Depends on your stove. Best to call manufacturer and ask. I've been canning on my Frigidaire glass-top for almost 11 years I called and asked before buying it. Whether this particular canner can be used on a glass-top depends on the bottom of the canner. If it is totally flat, then you can use it. If it has ridges, you can't. Up until now, I have only seen Prestos advertised as safe on glass-top stoves. You can get one at Walmart for about the same cost as this.

I would say it would not be a good choice for a ceramic cooktop; I would probably have to recommend a flat bottom Wok.

Do not know if you can or not, but I use mine on my ceramic glass top stove with no problem

I don't know but it has such a slow heating process that it should work. I had to turn the flame up pretty high to get it to slowly heat a cast iron pot and an anodized pan so it should work with glass if you control the heat. It does discolor but I expected that. I originally bought it for ceramic cookware because it was recommended so Pyrex type glass shouldn't be a problem. I haven't had the chance to try it for the ceramic yet. Hope this helps.

Did you ever receive an answer to your question about using an aebleskiver on a glass top electric stove? I have the same question. Thanks!

worked very well--if you go slow and use lots of water--on glass bricks. ceramic is basically glass fired onto a clay substrate. I have never tried it but I do not see a problem having used the drills to go through ceramic tiles. The only glass produce which would cause a problem would be 'tempered glass'. Once glass is tempered it is doubtful that the whole piece would not shatter--that is what it is designed to do. please tell me how the project went. dantoad@hotmail.com thank you, dan

My stove is a glass top and I have had no trouble however, I am not a glass stove top expert so I would refer to your user's manual for guidance.

We use ours on the ceramic stove top without issue, it's not perfectly flat as it has 3 ridged circles but they do not seem to present an issue associated with ceramics. The top opening could be gotten into with a very small hand but most likely not, it is however large enough for any common scrub brush.

According to manufacturers instructions they are not safe, nor recommended for use on glass top stoves. The imperfections in the porcelain can scratch your glass top and if they boil over can also cause your glass cook top to fuse.

Hmmm, I have a gas range, but I know smooth cooktops (aka glass top range) pose an issue for canning, particularly for pressure cooker canning. As I'm sure you know, pressure canning uses a higher heat level for foods that are lower in acidity, else the bacteria are not killed. My understanding is that a lot (but not all) of glass top ranges automatically shut off at higher temperatures, such as those involved in pressure canning. That shut off feature protects the stovetop from cracking, but it keeps the temperature too low for pressure canning. I did a little investigating, so try this website to learn if your range is described under the section titled "Guidance Specific to Certain Stoves". Here's the url: http://www.pickyourown.org/cannings4glasstop.htm. Hope this helps.
