What is the size of the pot width? My glass top stove warns against using a pot any bigger than 1/2 inch.

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 bought this pot. I too have a glass top stove. It is larger than the largest eye of the stove. I use it and nothing has happened (so far). It works fine. Go with your "gut" feeling.

13.5 inches in diameter and 10.5 inches high. The problem in using large pots is that they hold the heat in and can burn up the elements if you heat for a long time on a high heat. We burned up several units on our ranges doing that over the years. We now do our canning outdoors on a camp chef. Much faster and keeps the mess and heat outside. I would not go back to canning indoors if I had a choice.

I'm not at home right now, but if I remember correctly the diameter of the circle on the glass top is 10-1/4 inches. I have a 3 qt All-Clad saute which is 10-1/2 inches at the top, but because the sides roll inwards at the bottom it just narrowly fits the circle.If your pot is 13-1/4 inches at the bottom it will overlap the plastic frame that surrounds the glass top and it will probably melt it.

According to my trusty tape measure the inside bottom diameter is approx 6 1/2" & the outside diameter is 7". This oughta be perfect for your needs. This is a great little pot. If you are in to cast iron stuff, you will be very pleased with it. Good luck!

It is huge. It is probably 2.5 feet in diameter. It will cover 2 burners. Check the dimensions if they are listed for height also. It is a great pot though. A quality item and much better than anything aluminum.

UGH...I didn't measure it, I researched the pot that it fit and the one that I have, I was lucky that it does work perfectly. If I guessed it's probably 10 to 10 1/2 inches. Hope this helps!

I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool. Then warps more as it is heated. I didn't find that to be a big problem however on my glass top stove. BTW, here is a trick. Most of my pots are flat bottomed and I do have a ceramic cooktop. I have some copper bottom pots that are not flat on the bottom which do not work well, but use a trick to get them to work faster. If you wet the bottom of the pan before you put it on the stove the water will turn to steam and efficently transfer heat from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the pan. The steam condenses on the bottom of the pan and then drips back to the cooktop surface to boil away again.

It is small, only 1 1/2 gallons. Will fit on standard stove (under range hood)

This pot is one inch larger than the burner on our induction top stove all the way around. We checked with manufacturer and this was maximum size safe to use on ours. I used the pot twice so far without a problem.

Hello, As confirmed with Calphalon the diameter at the bottom of the pot is 10.2 wide. Thanks! Buyhappier

An inch is good for boiling water. For cooking about four inches helps to control the heat better. This is an awesome stove. You will love it.

The bottom of this particular Pot messures Approximatley 10" to 10.5" Wide. If you have an Electric Stove, it will go Over the Edge of the Grate by just a little bit from what I'm able to see; if you have Very Wide Grate Piece for a Gas Stove, then you shouldn't have any problems. This is the very best that I can do in giving you a description of the size of this pot. I hope that this turns out to be very helpful, but if it doesn't, then I'm very sorry about that, I really did try to give you the information that your asking for / requesting. Good Luck with it, I hope everything works out for the best for you. The bottom of this particular Pot messures Approximatley 10" to 10.5" Wide.

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.

It depends on what you are trying to do in that pot. I don't know the exact diameter of the kettle I typically use, but it is an 8.5 gallon SS kettle, and I can tell you that it it is bigger than the surface area of the top of the burner. Obviously, you loose some efficiency with this, but it still works well for my purposes.

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.

What is the maximum? Other manufacturers tell you that, usually around 7.5 in diameter. I called the company and the lady told me that around 9 in but she didn't sound too sure. I bought it anyway, so we'll see. One of my best pots is wider than 7.5 in.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.
