WILL THIS COOKER/CANNER HOLD 1/2 GAL JARS? HOW MANY?

Yes, I would say 4 at max, mine holds 10 regular mouth quart jars, and 4 quarts equals a gallon.

It will hold 4 of the typical Mason 1/2 gallon jars. (I went and tested their fit in mine... no way to squeeze 5 in...)

The manual states: "This pressure cooker can hold up to 3 x 32oz. jars OR 4 x 16oz. jars at a time."

I have two, 1 1/2 gallon jars. I use one to hold a little more than a pound of flour. The other holds a two-pound bag of sugar.

I have a regular electric stove with coils - although the canner is larger than the coils, I have used it as well as one I wore out for years. You just center the canner over the coil. I don't know how useful one would be that was as small as a burner on regular stoves, wouldn't hold many jars.

It is a 10-Quart canner; small for a pressure canner. This sounds like it will fit just fine. Thanx bunches for the insight!

I have the Prest 23 qt pressure canner and with the rack I can double stack allowing 18 jars at once.

I didn't buy 1/2 gallon jars, however I have aprox 1/2 gallon storage jars it fits I think you might could get 4 in there.

I've brought this canner with my pint jar pickles to a rolling boil then quieted it down to a simmer. It's deep enough to cover the jars, have the rolling boil going and not boil over--for me. I've not used it with quart jars, however...

I own one of these double-boiler inserts, and I checked to see how much liquid it holds. It does not hold 4 quarts/1 gallon. I'd say it would hold three-quarters of that and be quite full. Half a gallon, no problem; three quarts is probably the limit without getting close to being overly full and spilling over.

I threw mine away, but you can figure the width of two spice jars plus add 1/2 to 1 inch for the center. I honestly can't recommend this, though. It started falling apart shortly after I set it up.

I just measured the height available for a can and and it was about 5 1/2 inches so whatever diameter can fit into 5 1/2 inches, I think it will work. We only have cans in ours. I can, but I don't think I would want to put my jars in this. I would feel somewhat uncomfortable with the glass jars being on their side, rolling and and moving to the bottom level. This storage unit is not heavy duty. Mine works fine for my purposes for storing cans of items I use frequently like canned soups, Bush beans, tomato sauce, chilies and such.

I have used the rack from my Ball canner in this pot. The rack holds 7 qt. jars.

My wife told me that it appears to be tall enough to hold the 1/2 gallon jars but she does not use that size so she does not know how many it will hold. Sorry

The canning pot is 7 1/2 inches high. It will fit 7 pint jars. I also use it for jars that hold 8 oz. and 12 oz.

I think that this would hold the griddle and then some. I use it with a 3 gal. Preasure cooker with over 16 lbs of liquid in it and holds it just fine. The legs and the whole unit is well built in my opinion.

Do you mean 7 quart canner. I use it for my 7 quart canner all the canning season. This a canner that holds 7 quart jars to be canned. Must adjust like you would a regular stove.

It fits mine. This is the one recommended for that canner. I use mine to double stack pint jars.
