it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.

The direction say that you can. I have not used it for canning yet. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Yes, you can. I did that when I first got this can. However, I ended up really regretting this purchase. The garbage can is just too small, and the customer service folks weren't at all willing to work with me on an exchange.

I wouldn't use it in kitchen... too small as previous answer suggests and I have to agree with gramme/ it's not as sturdy as we would have liked

I believe so. It depends on the size of the cans. Width is plenty, height should be considered. Check the dimensions.

I don't know because I use them in cans on the inside. But, I imagine you could.

Absolutely. I use it mainly for that. Just don't leave it inside with the lid closed.

No. This is a canner for processing jars of canned produce. It replaces a water bath canner.

Did not get it for use of cans. My item is used for display of my collection of treasure boxes and also the display of my pewter collection. I have found it most useful for that. Took a measure of the shelf for you and and it is 3" deep shelf so I would think a 3" can would be able to be used very well and most likely a lot of them.

Yes, should be no problem at all. Have had this in my kitchen as a prep station for some time, very sturdy.

I guess you could, but you would have to remove it from the cabinet in order to open the top sufficiently to add things to it. I think it would also hang at an awkward angle. If counter space is a at a minimum (like my kitchen) I keep mine on the floor in a corner.

You should not can in this appliance. It's not tall enough for quarts, anyway. Also the low pressure is too low to can and the high pressure is too high for regular altitudes (like under 1000 ft above sea level). Use a pressure canner to can.

Yes, but it will be a little large for the cans. Still it is the size we use as there is nothing smaller that is tall enough. Hope that helps.

Yes it can, although it may prove to be too small for normal kitchen usage.

I would not think so unless you leave it in a tub of water or something. It is quite heavy and has a no slip backing on it. I use it over my stove top as extra counter space when I am not cooking.

No, it will only work as a steamer or juicer. My suggestion would be to buy an All American canner for canning.

Yes !!! Have only used it as a canner... but after looking at some of the recipes provided am rethinking this... may try cooking a roast... or try one of the other recipes.... sounds REALLY good !!!! Have fun with it !!!
