This video shows this pressure cooker being used to can green beans. It does have some limitations. Read the comments below the video. http://youtu.be/yj9wjbEWYpI

Yes, if you are canning meats, or low acid vegetables. These do need a pressure canner.

No. There is no pressure control, and vegetable canning requires specific pounds of pressure. Also, jars would not fit. You need a pressure canner, many are available at local hardware stores.

No - according to the instruction book, you can only do high-acid canning, such as tomatoes or pickles, and also jelly or jam.This is the same as the type of canning you can do with a hot water bath in an open pot on the stove. The book is very clear that you cannot use this for canning anything else - no vegetables or meats! The book is also very clear that you should ONLY use the 26 recipes included in the book and to not use your own recipes. Very, very limiting!

Yes, this is a water bath canner and to properly process non-acidic foods (i.e. green beans, squash, carrots) you have to use a pressure canner.

I do not can, but the manual says that you can. I have enclosed a link where you can down load the manual and see the instructions for canning. I do have a friend who does some canning, she used this and likes it. http://www.maxi-matic.com/product.php?productid=206&cat;=80&page;=1

This is not a pressure canner. I do not do my vegetables in this canner. I do all my fruits in this canner. I have a seperate pressure canner for my vegetables

this is not a canning pressure cooker! I purchased the Presto 16 qt pressure canner for canning. I believe you can purchase it here on Amazon! Do not buy the Deni it is a dangerous piece of junk

I was surprised by this post so I went to the USDA web site and was refered on to the Natinal Center for Home food Preservation I copied this straight out of the Canning Tomatoes section "Use of a pressure canner will result in higher quality and more nutritious canned tomato products. If your pressure canner cannot be operated above 15 PSI, select a process time at a lower pressure.

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

No there is not but I believe you can google "canning with pressure cookers" for that info. BArry. p.s. in the past I have canned salmon that way.

I Do Not Know but you might want to ask a woman if hair spray is allowed because that is also in the same category as are very many pressurized canned contents !!!

This is not a pressure canner, you can not use this to can green beans since they do not have the necessary acid content. This can be used as a water bather or steam bather (basically the same as a water bath). For green beans you do need to get a regular Pressure cooker, you don't have to spend a lot on one if you are new to canning, Walmart carries Presto pressure cookers at a resonable price. There is a lot of information on the internet for the new canner, just google & check it out.....Good Luck.

No, you have to use a pressure canner for all low acid foods. This includes all vegetables and meat. You must use a pressure canner to kill botulism that will grow in low acid foods. Pressure canners attain a higher heat. A steam canner should only be used for high acid foods, such as fruits. Botulism doesn't grow in high acid foods, but the steam canner will kill bacteria that causes food spoilage in fruits.

I have done canning in mine but only jelly and jam, things that I would normally use a hot water bath to process. I have had complete success using this and find it invaluable when doing small batches of jams and jellies. I have not tried low acid foods in here as I see no way to regulate the pressure.

This is not to be used to replaced canning. You could, however, use this when making a recipe specifically called "refrigerator pickles", and using the vacuum would basically marinate them more quickly.
