Can this be used as a pressure cooker canner to preserve food?

I think it could, but you will not get much in the pot. It's only six quarts. Most canning pressure cookers are upwards of 20 quarts.

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

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

In the book I have all of the meat recipes call for the use of a pressure cooker.When my husband and I canned deer we used a canner with a Jar rack in itand you don't have to have a pressure cooker. This is like a kettle with clampson lid and a vent on top, it works great. Good Luck

I'm not sure. This was designed for water bath canning. The water in a pressure canner can reach 240 degrees F, higher than the 212F in a water bath canner.

This cooker does not have a gauge showing PSI and you cannot build up pressure and then start timing. It is too small for canning jars. I have a 7 qt pressure canner that works great.

Hi, I only recently got this lovely Magafesa pot. I have used it for cooking stew, but not cannning. However, I did use my old Prestige wobble top pressure cooker for canning when I made both marmalade and pepper jelly. Did you contact the Spanish manufacturer

Angelica- I don't see why not! They're high-temperature rated liners (400F/204C). Most pressure cookers operate no higher than 250F. Hope this helps, and happy cooking!!

No, this unit is not capable of performing the pressure needed for canning. The food saver brand has special canisters for vacuum sealing foods such as grains, and other limited types of foods.

If it can be canned in a pressure cooker, this one will do it very well. The whole point of the pressure cooker is to use the pressure to raise the boiling point of the water in the cooker, which results in faster cook times and in sterile canning. Kuhn Rikon is a very quiet and very safe pressure cooker. I do much more than can jellies and jams in mine, as I have found it indispensable for cooking beef, pork, venison, broth and stews. I bought the stock pot, but you might want to consider the shorter pot if you wish to do more canning, as the shorter pot will have a wider bottom, allowing more jars.

Yes, it is ok as long as the food in jars do not call for more psi than the cooker can produce. I believe the psi is 10 to 12. So if your food is calling for 10 to 12 pounds of pressure, you should not have a problem. Just be sure and let the cooker release naturally, do not use quick pressure release. Be sure and take all safety precautions to keep from harming yourself due to steam or broken jars. Good luck.

Hi Becky,I don't know why not. The trick is in the material of your Pressure Canner. My understanding is that if you want to know if a pan will work on your induction stove, try to stick a magnet to the pan. If it sticks, it will work. I see no other reason why a pressure cooker would not function on an induction cooker.

Yes, you can use the rack in a pressure cooker. the rack encounters heat in a crock pot. Pressure should not affect the rack. Do not see any reason for not using it.Jim BiggerstaFF360 387 2697

When canning vegetables and meats a pressure cooker canner is recommended. You could contact your local extension company and ask their advise. This canner is best for canning fruits and jams. But I have used it to can relishes and they have turned out great.

This is not designed for canning. Although several quart jars will fit in it, there is no pressure gauge. Our canning cooker has a pressure gauge and a way to adjust the pressure. This cooker is great to cook meals especially meats. Has a non stick surface.

Depends how old it is and what brand and if it is for canning or a regular pressure cooker. Let me know and I will see if I can help.

As answered earlier, yes you theoretically could. However just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. 1: it would be an awfully tight fit. 2: half gallon jars are not recommended for pressure canning by the FDA as well as every canning manufacturers (such as ball) out there. 3: all canning recipes I have are in quart and pint amounts. I assume you are changing that too fit your needs. By doing so, you could inadvertently affect chemical compositions and end up with issues latter. Bottom line is Yes but you shouldn't.
