Question: Can this canner be safely used on a glass-surface range?  If so, what is the smallest burner on which it can be safely used?
Document: This canner performs as expected, but not as hoped. My glass top range will not bring it up to steam. Called Presto, they told me the canner was working correctly based on my input to them. It took nearly an hour to get to the point of adding &#34;jiggler&#34;. Not time or cost effective for me so I bought a gas grill w/burner. Canner really cooks now.
Glass / ceramic cooktop with 9.25" burner (kitchenaid). If your burner is smaller you might want to get an separate burner. Didn't experience the foggy/condensation on the guage.

I have a FLAT GLASS TOP range and the this pot works great on it. Reason: The bottom (that fits exactly over the large burner 8 1/4") is lower by about 1/4" then the surrounding pot which is about 12 1/4". I Bought the Pressure canner-2 weeks ago- Used it to make Beef Stew, Chicken Soup, Lentil and Navy Been Soups. All jars of food turned out great. I ate some of the soup already and it tasted good.
It works! It has the best price available! What more can you ask for? American made. The bottom has two &#34;levels&#34; - I'm thinking so it can be safely used on a glass cooktop. Otherwise, the bottom would be too big to use on a glass cooktop. I use my gas campstove, though, for canning, as I don't trust my electric with the glass cooktop to stay on constantly and keep the pressure correct.
This is a great pot. If you do alot of canning you will love this Pressure Canner. I have an electric stove and coils sit low on the cook top. Regular canners sit down over the burner which leaves a hugh area of the pot that is sitting on the surface around the burner. (the painted area)  This pot has a beveled bottom which makes direct contact with the burner and raised the rest of the pot above the surrounding s
This is a wonderful canning unit. Recommended to all. We use it safely on a glass-top oven, as recommended by company website. Just read the manual and you won't have problems. And if this is your first time using a pressure canner, be patient and don't freak out at the sounds coming from it.
Then most of your canning will be done in the 10 to 12 PSI pressure range. This is where the regulation comes in. Adjust the flame on your burner up or down to maintain pressure. It is amazing how little adjustments can make large differences in pressure over time. If you have a very hot stove and do a lot of canning, this is the pressure canner for you. If you have a stove like mine and don't do much canning, then I would recommend that you stay with Presto, but choose a smaller size.
This type of burner will soften the canner causing the bottom to warp. It may also result in property damage and/or personal injury. In addition, the food may not be safely processed.Service and Parts Information:Call 1-800-877-0441 weekdays 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (central time)Email through website at [...]Write: National Presto Industries, Inc.Consumer Service Department3925 M Hastings Way, Eau Claire, WI 54703-3703Your canner model number is inside the canner in case you lose the information.The instructions also include information on where to send canner for repair.I think i answered all of the questions i had before i made my purchase.
No explosions, just an un-processed batch of jars.DO NOT use this canner on an induction stove.

I try to obtain 70% of my family's food from local sources, including my backyard. This requires me to have a big, high quality canner so we can store up for winter. It fits so many quarts that most days I only need to do one batch. But, if space is an issue and you are just doing small batches you can probably get by with a smaller canner.Since this canner is bigger than my flat range I have to move the canner around a bit on the burner to find the right spot before it will build pressure.
Answer: 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.
