We have used one with the weighted jiggler for all of our married lifes. As best I can remember, my Momma and my Grandmomma used the weighted canner as well. A couple years ago, I did buy one of those instapot canners. We never could figure it out. It burst jars in the canner, everything came out with a scorched taste, we ruint more food that we preserved. After two seasons, we got rid of it and bought a new Presto canner with the jiggler. The only reason we bought the insta pot canner in the first place was because I have a glasstop stove and my my wife grandmaws, at least 60 or 70 yr old jiggler canner had a warped bottom. It still works good on a regular eye type stove, just not so well on a flat glass top. And it might work well on that to, I just dont want to take the chance of cracking my stove top.
