OK to use a canning pot on the burner?

I don't can, but I don't see why not. Once plugged in, it is just like any other "stove" burner... I hope this helped :-)

No I have not, I do not see why it would be a problem though. Start at a lower heat. It is a flat bottom pot. Good Luck! I have used this pot a lot. Thought I would use it just for canning season but it is my go to pot for a lot of things.

Not sure as I always use pot holders if I boil something. If just simmering you should be fine.

I Think it would be great for canning, keep the heat out of the kitchen. Low simmer might be a problem unless you have big pots. It puts out a lot of heat on it's lowest setting. I haven't tried to adjust it internally however.

I would think so the burner itself is cast iron I use mine for canning it works wonderful wish I had two of them

The direction say that you can. I have not used it for canning yet. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Can use it to make gumbo or a small seafood boil, for crawfish, crab or large seafood boil you can use the burner but would need the larger pot.

It was recommended not to use on glass top stove, because if the pot extends beyond the burner area, it could crack the surrounding glass. The glass around the outside of the "burner" on those glass top stoves is not tempered in the same way as the glass on top of the heating element.I have a glass top stove in my kitchen and I'm afraid to use any pot too large for the burners. So I used my canner pot on the side burner of my husband's gas grill. The only disadvantage of that is that I have to use it outside.

You could but, if it were me I would not. The heat from an open fire could possibly cause the granite porcelain to shatter off of the pot. Best to go with cast iron or copper.

It is much more convenient. Depending on what you are canning, it may or may not save time. For example, with jams, yes; with tomatoes, no. But not having to deal with a giant pot of boiling water is a plus.

It can be used for canning, but timing is the main issue. Stop the item and let it cool itself after the time is allowed for cooking.

The manual says not to put it directly on a burner... Then again it is cast-iron and indirect heat should be fine, the company even sells an iron stand for use with tea-lights, so I would think it depends on how hot you have the stove going

Im sorry, but I don't have an answer to that question, I returned the product because it was an accident waiting to happen, there was an almost loose surface to hold the pot on top of the "burner", and with boiling oil inside of it... I don't even want to think about it. Good luck if you buy it.

I have a glass top and it works on my burners great. I use 2 burners to heat this pot for canning jars. It's 14in across,I love it cause it's big enough for a lot of jars. I haven't filled it with food yet, it would make a ton of chili.

I use my pot over a portable propane burner when I make my two hour spaghetti sauce for canning. This is similar to an open flame, but pot is very durable. I have seen it used in a buried charcoal pit with hot rocks in the ground, but not sure about an open campfire. Hope this helps.

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.
