Mirro pressure canner on glass-top stove
Comments (20)Melly, I'm remembering the conversation we had last season about that three-piece weight. I got mine nearly 30 years ago from Presto. At that time they specifically listed it in their canner manual as an accessory. It's intriguing that sometime later they quit recommending it, though as far as I know they've always offered the part, and now they're back saying it's OK again. Strangely enough, my All-American canner came with just that set-up, a gauge and a three-piece weight. They state specifically to go by the weight and that the gauge is just a visual reminder, nothing more. I've been fortunate. The Presto weight and the gauge have always been in sync, but if they weren't, like you I'd trust the weight since it's been machined for accuracy. I do like having the gauge, though.

Comments (8)I was looking at the Waring - though Dave and others here have recommended the Broil King. I'll have to take another look. So you got the new stainless steel canner with the flat bottom? That's similar to the 16qt stockpot I have with the sandwiched bottom. That will work fine on a glass top on the large burner unless your stove can't keep a stockpot at a boil. Mine can - I just have a hard time keeping chicken stock at a simmer on mine. My garden is very slow this year too. Though I have been picking about a pound of green beans (off about 50 plants so that's not great) each day this weekend, and have been getting zucchini for a week. First yellow squash (Early Prolific - not this year!) picked yesterday. I'm trying half batches of dilly beans and zucchini pineapple today since I haven't made them before and I'm not sure my family will like them. But we're already tired of grilled squash and I have a couple of zukes that got away from me. Edited - I looked, 1500W Broil King is almost 3x the price of the 1300W Waring so I think I'm going to stick with the Waring.

Comments (2)If you will search 'glass top stoves' here you'll find several previous discussions on the problems associated with using them for canning. Can't be done, sorry. Basically it is prohibited by most of the stove manufacturers as it voids your warranty. The problem is the way the caner bottoms are shaped. They have an indentation in the bottom that traps the excess heat under the pan. This not only causes the unit to cycle off and on as you have discovered but can crack the stove top itself and so ruin the stove. In the other discussions it is often recommended that you find an alternative deep pot with a totally flat bottom to use as a BWB - pressure caners usually cannot be used on glasstops. That is why so many of us have switched to propane or independent electric burners - many discussions here about those too. ;) Dave...See MoreRecommended cleaning for glass top stoves
Comments (4)Cerama Bryte which I bought at Home Depot did a great job cleaning the black glass cooktop that was here when we bought the house. I thought I'd never be able to get it clean (the previous owners didn't have the word "clean" in their vocabulary) but the Cerama Bryte got the cooktop looking like new after about six cleanings. Now I use it weekly, or more often, and am very pleased. I got it at Home Depot, 28oz. for about $7, but have used it for a year and still have about 2/3 of a bottle left....See Moremissemerald
