I have to agree with dd about the cast iron skillets. I did some research earlier this year because I had to purchase a new stove. I do can every year and my pressure cookers are huge and heavy. I was really worried about breakage on a glass top stove. Most manufacturers don't recommend canning on one due to heat build up (something to do with pot being bigger than the heating surface). Canning takes several hours on the stove and the heat does build up. I ended up with the coil burners again (gas not yet available out here in the sticks LOL). Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.
