Pressure cookers can be used as canners, just use the correct weight on the jiggiler. to keep the jars off the bottom you can zip tie enough rings together to fit the inside of the pot / cooker. While a rack is nice for stacking a double load it's not really necessary for a single load. This is a great idea! I have been trying to figure out a way to keep jars off the bottom of the pan. I didnt want to go out and buy a whole set up. Thank you

I have a glass top as well but I hope it will be ok. I will be learning to can soon and had no idea you couldnt use a glass top stove.

Our pressure cooker wasn't quite tall enough for some of our jars, so I took the rack from the bottom of the pressure cooker and used it in the large pot to keep the jars off the bottom. Yes, our stove is glass-top but so far we're ok. I've thought about this many times myself but how long do you keep the pressure cooker boiling?

We haven't yet pressure-canned. We've only done the hot water bath method. We just borrowed the pressure cooker's rack that keeps the meat & stuff from cooking onto the bottom of the pot, put that rack into the big canning pot, and placed the canning jars on that rack. Water bath stuff for us has been fine at 15 minutes or so of boiling because we've canned fruit stuff only -- applesauce and various berry jams.
