Canning and glass top
So apparently I can't can with my canner on my stupid ugly glass top stove! Solutions? Suggestions? What about the thing I read that if you put a magnet to it, it has enough steel or something, whatever it is and its safe? I'm freaking out and ready to cry.

Re: Canning and glass top
I hate trying to make jelly with my glass top. The burner doesn't provide an even heat. It's either on or off. I haven't done pressure canning, but boiling water bath canning has worked fine for me.

Re: Canning and glass top
Do you have an element on your BBQ? I would think that jam in a pot should work, but not the big water bath canner.

Re: Canning and glass top
Our grill has a burner attached to it, that's where I plan to can, if/when I can convince DH to get it set up for me. Honestly, I'm not good at following rules, and would probably try it anyway, except I don't want the heat in my house, so using the grill's stove burner will take the heat OUTSIDE and avoid any concerns about my stove

Re: Canning and glass top
Its granite ware. It says right in the manual not to. NOt only can I crack the top, but there are concerns over temperature fluctuation and successfully avoiding early spoilage.

And I don't have a pot big enough. I'd have to buy one. Which I don't want to do since I have a perfectly brand new CANNER. Not shouting at you - just general over the situation. ---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ---------- Quote:
Also, pot is too big for grill. I measured. ---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ---------- Quote:

Broken range could equal a freezer though. My niece loves to can and I know she used her mom's range. She would have died if someone had told her that. She loves hers.

Re: Canning and glass top
We just don't have the space. There is literally nowhere.

Re: Canning and glass top
That's what I have.
Didn't it come with a warning?

Re: Canning and glass top
I use my pressure canner on our glass top stove in defiance if the warning nothing bad has happened...yet

Re: Canning and glass top
Is it a pressure canner? Mine's a water bath canner, like amydawn's.

Re: Canning and glass top
A bunch of Amazon reviewers and answerers have said absolutely no, it cannot be used on a glass top. It doesn't have a flat bottom, and requires very high heat. It will scratch or crack a glass top, and a glass top range cannot guarantee a high enough heat for canning.
