Why does Jiffy Pop popcorn not work on glass top ceramic ranges?

Answer:

Jiffy pop needs constant heat without a change in temp to work. It is also meant to be shaken above a burner, not directly on it. Because the heat coil in a glass top ceramic range turns on and off to regulate its temperature, the immediate temp varies. The heat also does not get nearly as hot 2 inches above the burner as it does when using an open gas flame.
