is it safe on electric stove?

Hi, my stove is electric and i do just fine. I use the largest burner. I've heard from others that sometimes the heat temp is hard to maintain, but i dont have that problem. Here's what I do: I turn my electric burner on HIGH (like #9) to get it going. After i vent the valve for 10 minutes and put the weighted gauge on I wait for it to come to 10lbs pressure (10lbs is for my altitude below 1000'). AFTER the gauge reads 10lbs of pressure I turn my burner down to #5 (which is like MEDIUM). Each and every time I've done it this way the pressure remained the same. Sometimes I would have to turn it up to 5 1/2, as 6 was too much heat. You must stay wit h the canner for the whole time you are using it to make sure it maintains the right pressure for whatever you are canning. I did have a glass top stove but i never canned on it. It cracked one day while i was boiling water. For me, I would not can on an electric glass stove. Hope this helps.

Yes preferably a metal coil stovetop that is close to or the same size as the base of the cooker. anything will work as long as there is constant heat during the entire phase of pressure cooking

I am currently using it (and have for a couple of years ) on an electric stove and have not had any problems. Love it and makes excelkent expresso IMHO

Because it is curved on the bottom, I don't think it would work very well on an electric stove. Only part of the bottom would contact the heating element. We use it on a gas stove and the flame comes up to contact it evenly on the bottom.

I use it several times a week on an electric stove with no problems at all. My mother and my grandmother both used a pressure cooker on electric stoves. The pressures comes up quick and regulates quite easily on my stove, I'm sure it would do the same on others.

I havent had a problem. If it lays across the electric coils of your stove, it will be ok, I'm sure.

I can't speak to the safety issue, but the quality of this stove is excellent. It is very well made and should last a long time if taken care of properly.

I have a gas stove, but I don't see any reason why it can not be used on electric. It is very sturdy and good quality. I luv it.

Yes. I have an electric stove-top and it works just fine. I keep the dial at medium and spin constantly so as to prevent burning.

I use mine on a glass top electric stove and haven't had any problems ....I love this slow cooker!

Yes, it can be used on an electric stovetop. It's stainless steel with a plastic stem to be able to handle it.

We use this for our gas stove (it's perfect except we can't find a whistle that will fit it to save our lives). I'm not sure about electric.

If its a gas stove I can see why not but I don't think it would work well on a electric stove

Got my Cuisinart kettle a couple of months ago and have used it almost daily on my electric stove. There hasn't been any problem. I would suggest never turning the heat to high, medium works quite well. Don't want to ruin the finish (inside or out) with high heat. I love using it!

Yes, we have a glass top electric stove and have been using this kettle. I'm curious to why one might consider this unsafe? I'm not really concerned about scratching etc if it did occur, the enamel covering doesn't melt to the glass if that is your concern. I use high heat with this kettle and haven't had a problem with mine. It isn't too heavy either if that is your concern.

I can not speak for the induction safe because I use my on an electric stove. But the handle does not get hot at all with mine.

This should not be used on an electric stove. For an electric stove, you need a flat bottom wok. It can damage the burner and the wok may not heat up as fast. If you search for "Flat bottom wok" on Amazon there are be plenty of alternatives, including this 14" carbon steel flat bottom wok also sold by the Wok Shop (http://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Steel-Wok-Handles-bottom/dp/B00394VE5Y/).
