Ouch!
Not only should you not use cast iron, but hot water canners and pressure canners are out too...
I think if I couldn’t change it, I would consider a kerosene burner or maybe a portable propane burner as a backup/alternative when I needed it for the ‘heavy’ cookin...
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Never knew about hot water canners. Deep in my mind I knew cast iron wouldn’t work but thought there might be some way to “improvise.”
I miss my gas stove. :(
I had a corning ware electric stove and did not know that I could not use cast iron or pressure cookers and did so for years.
I only fry in the cast iron skillets.
It is true, my wok did not work on it.
Just don’t use it full force heat and watch it, you may need to move the cooker off or partly off and I have used a metal plate that came with a small pressure cooker, on the wood stove to keep things from burning/getting too hot.
Or maybe one of those wire stars that came with the Pyrex coffee pots would work.
