AA Pressure Cooker on glass top?

Oooooo been such a long time, but here I am. Haven't seen this this place in ages.
I'm bored and jumping back into mycology with some spores and tubs and both feet. But, the house I moved into wasn't built with sterilizing jars of grain in a 30 pound slab of aluminum. It's got a flat top/glass stove.
I loved my AA915 (if it was that one, idr), and really want a 921 to get those extra 2 jars in, but idk if my stove will bare the stress.
Anyone have experience using an AA (or any quality brand/model) cooker on a glass top stove? Is the warning In the manual some over protective lawyer talk, or is the risk really that high?
Sorry for any spelling errors, I'm typing on my phone in the back of a dark truck at work lol
It's good to be back!!

I use a 23qt presto on a glasstop and i noticed a couple spots on the burner I use are getting a bit faded. Do not drag the pressure cooker along the glass top when its hot. Physically lift the pressure cooker and move it to where you want. The stove is from last year and its a GE i believe.

Ive used mine on.. mine haha, could always throw a towel under it for a slight protection barrier. Ive even done it like that on my counter, a little tiny kids table with like 1/2 inch wood for the tabletop. No fires or anything yet But i also technically have an electric sterilizer, aa75x i believe

My best advice is to get an outdoor propane stove. They work great and pressure cooking outdoors is much safer anyway.

Yes I use a 921 on a glass top. I also felt wary of it prior but have been using it on muliple glass tops for 10 plus years now with no issue.

Ditto, except I use it on the same glass top for over 10 years.

Cool, sounds like I should be alright. But holy cow did the AA cookers jump in price since the last time I bought one. When I got my 915 years ago I remember paying around $180. Now looking at the 921 they are $280 depending where you shop. Oofff, wish I would have kept the one I had.
Also guys, how about over hang on the burner? The 921 and 915 both are around 13 inch diameter, and my largest burner on the glasstop stove is only about 10 inches. Are you guys running with the same issues?

I assume my burner is the same size. I think that is pretty standard. Sometime I have to run it on the back burner and its basically touching the dials on the stove.

Cool, gonna give it a shot. Just as soon as I order one lol, found a couple AA921s for around $220, which is still quite a chunk of money, considering Ive already dropped $60 on a few spore syringes and another $150+ on supplies, since I basically sold/traded everything away years ago when I packed everything up.

Why not just get a presto for at most 100 bucks? I’ve had amazing success with mine.

Yea I just came here to say I went wiwth the 23quart Presto instead. I just couldnt drop almost $300 for a pressure cooker. The All American PCs are amazing quality, built like a tank PCs. They lock so secure with those screw down handles and is so thick, you feel like you could knock that thing off the stove at full pressure and it would be just fine (it almost definitely wouldnt lol, but you feel like it would), but the 23 quart Presto was only $75 and will fit 10 quart jars same as the 921, so I just went with that.
Plus, the Presto is about 6 pounds lighter than the AA921, which makes me feel a little better putting it on the glasstop stove.
And I get bored with stuff quick, and though I want to (and plan to) jump back into mycology with both feet, Id hate dropping $300 on a PC Ill use 2 or 3 times then just let sit in a closet for the next time I get the itch.

You can also use it to pressure can damn near any kind of food for long term storage or to take advantage of killer sales at a store. From butter to roast.
