Product review (5 stars): Canner Element works great
I needed to replace our regular 8" element.  I was looking for something that would work better for our heavy 12" skillet, and I came across this element.  The skillet is now raised from the surface of the stove, and it does heat faster and more evenly.  This summer I may actually try using the element for canning!  Sometimes I do have to adjust the element a little, by pressing the the element itself down into the little slot in the pan, so that it sits flat.  But that would be my only criticism of it.  I am very glad I bought this element.
