Can I can with an induction cooktop?

koshki · August 15, 2012

I would like to try canning some of my bountiful harvest this year, and have been researching which type of system I should use.

I have an induction cooktop. Cookware needs to be magnetic (stainless or enameled steel), so aluminum is out. Also, it is a smooth glass top, and the instructions on many canners say not to use it on smooth glass.

Is there anything I can purchase that will work on my cooktop? If not, could anyone recommend an electric canner that would be suitable for a beginner who would like to can quarts of tomato sauce?

TIA
