I can on my frigidaire glass top with my Presto frequently. I always make sure not to put a hot canner with hot water on a cold burner, and vice versa. Also, I never fill my canner in the sink and then put on my stove, I use a quart jar and fill it on the stove. That way I don't run the risk of 'dropping' it on the surface. Just be careful, no SUDDEN temp changes, and I have been successful. Happy canning!

Thank you. I have a glass top electric stove. I try to be careful and so far no problems. This video just reinforces the need for care when pressure canning.

I use an AA 921 and quite often use an AA 915 at the same time right beside it. Haven't broken anything yet, and it's been years of use this way.

Thank you for addressing this head on. You are an asset to us canners. 💗

Me and a few other channels were just considering doing this, but hind sight you did the job right and complete. THANK YOU! AWESOME JOB!

Thank you so much for this video!! Subject is always on my mind, taking the joy out of canning process. Just checked the bottom of my Presto canner and it has the smaller flat disc bottom. Cant believe that never registered in my brain. Checked my stove as well. No more worries. Thanks again. Happy canning!!

Kenmore here and yes I can on it with my AA and water bath canners. I read the manual first. I alternate between sides. And the most discoloration and wear I've had is NOT from the canners. It's from regular cooking and inattentive cooking by others in the house! I'm not sure why people slide canners? I just let it sit before and after processing

Thank you, I hadn't even thought about this. Appreciate the warning!

Thank you! I'm new to your channel ❤, I have been trying to figure out the best canner to get with glass top gE now I know thank to you and all these wonderful reviews on here I think it will be fine. Happy canning.

you are such a Jewel of information ! unfortunately I can't use my current stove, but have other means..Camp stove for (outside use) this 925 has been sitting for a year now, never used 🙄

This is helpful! I want to start canning and have a glass top. Thank you for the video.

I have a glass top and did extensive research for canning. I have the presto 23 quart and 16 quart canner and my stove has done beautifully. One thing about glass stoves is to make sure the top is a clean as possible prior to canning and use a glass razor blade to remove stuck on food. After cleaning it, i also squirt on the glass-top cleaner to give the stop a little more protection from scratching

Thank you for your teaching spirit. All the best.

I love these videos! Thank you.

Great info, Thanks. I have a Presto and I also have a glass cook top. I have no problems.

Love my AA921 but only can now on my Camp Chef outdoors with the flame tamer as a heat diffuser not to warp my canner. I also have special setting I do before firing it up.

Thank you, this is great information.

Thanks for answering a question I've been wondering about. I just love watching your videos... you are the spitting image of both my mom and my grandmother. Like you could be their (younger) twin!

I have a GE ceramic stove top and I have been using my Presto flat bottom canner on it for many years . My canner Manual says it’s okay to use on it . Ive had several electrical issues with a couple of the eyes not related to the canner and not on the burner I use for canning . I love my stove but the problems are so costly to repair I’m seriously consider just getting a new one and I haven’t decided what kind.

Thanks for this. I’m very frustrated as we do not have the option for gas. I love my All American. To give it up for a Presto is such a letdown.

Love this video!!!

My enameled waterbath canner has ridges so I don't use it on our glass cooktop. However, I have used my Presto pressure canner as a water bath with 1/2 pint jam for instance, or to boil water to sterilize jars. But the duration is short, comparatively speaking. So....there ya go. If I pressure can, I typically go outdoors and use a LP powered turkey fryer burner. Keeps the heat outdoors, is easily regulated, and no worry about the glass top.

Great information :-)

Good video , thanks for sharing ,God bless !

Thank you

Mostly I use a Presto 23qt canner but on occasion will use an AA910 on my glass top. My dream one day is to have a gas stove. ALL new Presto and National Canners say in their instruction manuals: “Caution: Do not use pressure canner on an outdoor LP gas burner or gas range over 12,000 BTU's.”

I have 2 Prestos and use a glass top. Just lift on top and up carefully. All the weight could crack it if brutal with it is my guess..

I have electric. I went on Amazon and purchased a Cooktop Canning Kit for my stove. I removed the coil and placed the kit one in my stove and I love it! It’s raised high off my stove and won’t cause caving in or scratching.

I broke 2 glass tops canning. Learned my lesson the hard way. I will never have another glass top.

I can on mine. My presto’s works great.

I can on my glass top but do not scoot any across it. Put a hot pad under it. Also open my drawer underneath of it to cool it off while canning.

I worry about canning in the future! I can with an All American 921, on a gas stove. My concern is that the government here in Canada seems bent on ending the use of natural gas at home. Already the first subdivision is going in, not linked to the gas networks! They have introduced a punitive tax on gas, to make it expensive to heat our homes and this is a cold country! These are scary times!

I was concerned about the fluctuation of the element turning on and off …. I heard you mention it but if it hits temperature/pressure consistently is there really any concern??? I just bought a presto and have a Frigidaire flat top that turns on/off pulsing but it maintains a boil

I have an LG and the manual says it's ok to can on. I've been canning with my 16 qt Presto for a year with no problems. I'd like to upgrade to the 23 qt so I can double stack...I need to find out if that added weight is an issue.

Can you can on a Nuwave Gold Precision Induction Cooktop?

I lost EVERYTHING in a house fire. so I just purchased a large american canner and live in a duplex with a glass top stove until our home is rebuilt......ur info is good but I'm disappointed. I'm thinking I might purchase an outdoor burner with propane and can that way ??

This isn’t a q about canning on a glass top but would anyone attempt to pressure can on a black stone griddle?? There are a ton of videos about canning on a gas grill, but not anything that I found about canning on a flat top grill outside. Any insight would be super appreciated thank you

Can I can melon,? Like cantaloupe, honeydew watermelon,etc?

Based on your comments, I don't think traditional water bath canners can't be used on a glasstop either. Their bottoms have ripples. Fortunately some stock pots can be used and a couple of new style canners have recently come on the market. FWIW... A few years ago, my sister's electric stove failed. Since their home is heated with natural gas, tried my best to encourage her to put in a gas range. ( I switched to propane many years earlier after suffering 1 too many lengthy power failure in our rural area. ) She liked the looks of a glass top and chose that instead. Then, sadly, she learned the limitations of the model she chose. She could no longer use her castiron cookware on it. She was afraid to try using her canner. She could have had something as beautiful and functional as yours, I'm sure.

on the phone with Samsung now !! thanks !!

Your canner is off the glass. That’s the trick I think.

Can you Can Can?

Why do I get the feeling you’re recommending the All American over all other canners. If this were a complete video, you would have shown other canners, their features(bottom) and even used a ruler to show that flat actually is. Not all Prestos have the bonded FLAT bottom, and you didn’t show how to fit the bottom to the size element. The presto with the bonded bottom has 2 measurements, the width of the whole bottom, and the width of the bonded base. The bonded base if the part that’s “fit” to the heat element.

Thank you
