Oh....I like the middle one, but it would take alot of ink to look right. :-)

Hello Darlene, All,

 

I finally decided to take the canning plunge. However, I fear I may not be able to. Let me explain.

 

My stove died a slow death in the winter and we had to replace it. I dont have gas, so that wasnt an option, but I decided on the ceramic top doohickey with an incredible oven (really.. it has sabbath programing and recipe recall , convection oven..can you tell I like it? ) Anyway, I was all set to but a All American Canner, because I like the fact that there are no rubber seals to contend with. Then I find out, I cant.. because I have a Ceramic top! TO add insult to more heartbreak, I bought a water bath canner from Walmart... and 25 lbs of pickling cucumbers... only to read as I am getting set up that IT cant be used on glass tops either!

 

HELP! Are there any types of pressure and water bath canners my (apparently delicate) stove can use?

 

Maranatha!

I'm not Darlene, but I just wanted to let you know that I use my water bath on my flat top stove all the time. Almost every item I have done in my WB canner takes less time than when I am making stews, soups or spagetti sauce. Whereas the pressure canner takes alot longer at a higher heat than most "regular" cooking.
