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.

I just made JiffyPop on my glass top stove with absolutely no problem whatsoever. And, I didn't scratch the glass because I didn't let it hit the surface. The setting was at medium-high (8 on my stove). Once I felt the heat, I hovered the jiffpop pan over the heat source without touching the burner. I could see the heat fading in and out with the color changing from bright red to black and red again.... but the whole time I could hear the oil sizzling. Once it got hot enough, the corn starting popping. Pop, pop, pop, pop.... the tinfoil started blooming. It heated exactly the same way as it does on a regular electric burner or gas range. The only thing that may be a little bit awkward is that you don't know if you're holding it up to high or not. But, if it isn't popping or stops popping before it's ready to burst - just hold it a little bit closer to the burner. JiffyPop probably has to put that disclaimer on the package so people don't sue them for scratched glass tops if they push it around too hard. The popcorn is the best..... didn't burn and only 4 kernels in the whole thing didn't pop. It was about as perfect as you can get. Go for it!
