Canning: Can I use this on my glass top stove?

Yes you can. The 10 quart one has the capacity for 4- 1 quart jars and they will weigh less than 50 Lbs. Don't forget you also can use this pot for many other purposes , like roast a whole chicken or boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes dish. Read the manual carefuly that comes with your pressure cooker and Happy caninng to you!

i would not recommend it. Will it scratch your glass? Maybe, or maybe not. However what I would be very concerned about is the weight of this canner when full of water and canning jars. It very well could collapse your stove top due to the heavy weight. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner, and have not problems. Another concern I would have on a stove top, is that water weight is 8 lbs. per gallon. Are you strong enough to get this thing onto your stove top, or off of it for that matter? Also, it has no handles to lift it with. In my opinion, DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLASS TOP STOVE!

My neighbor, who does a lot of canning for her large family, uses a steam canner outside on a portable gas stove, so I would say yes you can use it on a gas stove.

I believe the canner would be fine for use on glass cooktop. I used a pressure canner and water bath canner for years with no issues when I owned a glass top stove prior to buying a gas stove.

Answer by Sidney Patin - I use mine on a gas range all the time. Just make sure you have good sturdy burners because the canner is heavy, about 20 lbs., and it will probably break one of those newer glass tops. The instructions warn you about that.

I don't have a glass cooktop but my mom does. I think the cooking would turn out fine, but there is a huge danger of cracking your glass when placing or setting this on the glass because it is pretty heavy. I probably wouldn't use this on glass.

Absolutely! We use our Can Cooker every week on our gas range. Everything cooks as usual and is delicious. I wouldn't recommend using on a glasstop because of weight. Also check the height of your hood or cabinets over your range

Yes you can use these on glass-top stove. I purchased these for my daughter and she has a glass cooktop and doesn't seem to have any problems using this cookware.

Yes! My induction cook top is glass. I use it for food and small batch canning.

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.

the instruction book says; some glass stovetops may not produce enough heat/energy required for safe pressure canning-suggests not to use. hope that helps

Im sorry I dont know anytime about glass top stoves. I bet if you email or call Calphalon someone else has had the same questions.

Yes. I cook on a glass stovetop and it works well. Do keep your temperatures lower to avoid spillovers and burning.

No, this meant to be used inside the canner to be able to fit a second row of jars. The temperature needed to make the canner come up to proper steam wouldn't be safe, because the rack does not fully touch the burner. There is a definite space between the rack and burner. I would suggest a coil electric burner, or a propane gas burner. A glass top or induction burner wouldn't be safe enough.

I found your model on the GE website and it is a smooth top range. This canner element is for a range that has individual elements that you can put in and take out. According to what I saw on the website, your range comes with a large burner and a hot burner, so it will probably work for canning unless the manual says not to use it for canning. If you want a separate canner element, look up hot plates for canning on Amazon. Some have good reviews.
