I have an electric range with a ceramic top and I have done pressure canning on mine with no problem. I only do 7 quarts at a time, though, not 14 although the canner could hold 14 by stacking 7 jars on top of 7. I don't think my stove top could handle THAT much weight!need to be able to put a pressure canner full of quart jars on it. I estimate that to weigh about 50 pounds...?
