Got me a new toy.

[OU812]

Got me a big ole box today, used my points from using my card so this baby didnt cost me a thing.  ;D



Some assembly required.  ;)



Now I just need to figure out how to use this thingy.  ::)

I've herd you cant use a glass top stove with this thing, is there any truth to that?

Then I was figuring ok I'll use the gas burner from my turkey fryer and wouldnt ya know theres a big yellow card that says

"CAUTION Do not use pressure canner on any outdoor heat source such as a gas burner for a turkey fryer." #!@$%#^!!!!!  >:(

Any body got a reason you cant use the fryer burner? Its got an adjustable pressure regulator so I can adjust the heat on it.

Aint even got this thingy cleaned up and I'm allready running into road blocks.  :-\

I had a smaller model (probably 1/2 that size- at least) and used it on a glass stove top just fine.   It just takes some wrangling to get the heat dialed in just right.   

Perhaps they were worried about the weight when it was full?


I bet it would work fine on your Turkey fryer, just dialed down to 'low'.

[OU812]

Thanks for the encouragement Pat.

I have a stock pot thats bigger than this thingy and cook with it all the time on my glass top and I heat a big ole pot of water when were in sweet corn season on the turkey fryer burner with out boiling the water, so I know I can turn the heat down low enough to be safe.

The warning is you could crack the top of your stove but lots of people ignor the warning

I'm thinkin I wont crack the top cause the main burner, front right, it has 2 elements, one small inner element about the size of a normal pan and an outer one about the size as this thingy.

I'm feeling better about this more and more, might be the Jack though.  ::)

Hey OU812,

I have one just like that and it's about 30 years old. Wouldn't hesitate at all to use it on a turkey fryer.

Guessing they are just covering their own a$$ in case some one didn't control the temp.

Just make sure the seal is good and keep an eye on the pressure. Also it's a good idea to have the pressure gauge checked once a year. Contact your local University extension office about that, by us they will do it for you.

Now THATS what I wanted to here, thanks my friend.

I have the same one and use it on my glass top with no problem.

Sweet!

Feeling better and better about this thing.

Now I just need to figure out how to work this thingy.  ;D

We have had a pressure cooker for over forty years and used on glass top stove for at least 5 years but never used on the turkey fryer, but I don't know why you can't as long as you are paying attention...
