I do have two that go on top of the stove and there's no gages to set and no worrying about exploding, but I like that with electric, you have a timer and you don't have to make sure you're watching how long so that it doesn't run out of liquid, etc.
Yes and it's almost impossible for me to get the burner at correct temp on an electric stove. My dtr cans veggies in stove top pressure cooker but she does it outside (under carport) and uses butane set up that they use for frying fish. There is just something about that petcock juggling & hissing that scares me.
