| The CUKES and beets have taken over my world! Today I planned to can pickles and pickled beets when I pulled out my canner and reread the instructions it said not to use on a glass top stove. Off to the stove site which says to ONLY use a flat bottomed canner. Can I use jar rings to cover bottom of a stock pot to make a rack. The canner rack is about 1/2 inch too wide to work, and this is the only idea I have been able yo come with.
I like the fairly new range a little less.LOL Thanks so much for any help. |

| Jar rings to keep the jars off the bottom of the pot....and a pot large enough to cover the jars by....think it's 2 inches. |

| Have no real knowledge of glass top stoves. But canning cukes & beets (pickled) is one of the easier things to do. Saw somewhere recently where someone made a LONG "snake" of scrunched up foil and fashioned a "rack" to set jars on. |

| Thanks so much to both of you. I haven't canned in years and the decided that I was making rocket science of the jar ring rack thing. The first batch of b and b pickles are finished and it worked a charm. Never Would have thought of the foil..... From what I have read today you MUST use a flat bottom canner on any electric stove. |

| Well, I'm too late to help but I've seen canning rings wired together with twist ties as a rack, so I know it works. I canned for years with a dish towel in the bottom of a stock pot in lieu of a real canner or rack. Happy Canning! Annie |
