I have a flat top, and it hasn't broken it yet. I would prefer to have a flat bottom on the presto because it is not real easy to regulate the heat on the flat top. The thermostat keeps turning it on and off to keep the temp steady...on the stove, the pressure canner needs fiddling with. I have to turn up the temp then turn down to keep it in that perfect pressure range. i don't leave the kitchen when I can anyway, so it isn't a big deal. I get distracted so easily I know better.
