can you can 1/2 gallon jars in this?

Fewer would fit, naturally, but the height of the canner would allow 1/2 gallon jars, so I would say it is possible. I haven't tried 1/2 gallon jars and the instructions in the manual only give times for quart and pints.

Never tired, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've used pints, half pints and quarts. Supposed to be able to stack the pint jars but I've not tried that either.

Yes you could. I can tomato juice in the half gallon jars. We have a big family and it takes 3 quarts of tomato juice for chilli. So I use 1 half gallon and 1 quart. That is the only thing I would can in a half gallon jar though.

Four half-gallon jars will fit in this canner but I first am wondering what you want to can in half-gallon jars? Only very acidic juices (apple or grape) are recommended for canning in half-gallons and they can be canned in a boiling water canner. Pressure canners can be used as boiling water canners. However, the 21-qt Mirro is not deep enough to cover half-gallon jars with the necessary 1-2 inches of boiling water and thus cannot be used as a boiling water canner for them.

Yes. The set includes a 1 QT rectangular container AND 6 jars that all fit in the unit at the same time. You can make a half gallon of yogurt using both the rectangular container and the jars! It works great! This is my 2nd one, I gave my first one to my daughter. It also has a strainer that fits into the rectangular container to strain and thicken the yogurt. Hope this helps!

I don't see why not, but you would have to have a pot tall enough to cover the quart jars with water...keep in mind this is small and would most likely only take either 2 or 3 quart jars at a time. Good luck

Yes, you just need to cover any size jar with at least an inch of water. I've canned 1/2 pint to quart jars in this.

Hi Bridget. Yes, but be sure to order the "Wide Mouth" vacuum lids, because half gallon size Mason jars only come with that size opening. Regards, Tom Cannon.

I use this on wide mouth quart jars. It works very well. If the 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars use the lids and bans then you shouldn't have a problem

It looks as though you can. You wouldn't want to put anything too tall in there as the lid doesn't close well.

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

you could but you may overheat your gallon jar. this belt seems designed to keep 5 or 6 gallons at 75-ish degrees.

Have not used the whole bag at once to determine that. I doubt that one bag will make 1 gallon, perhaps 1/2 gallon.

It will just barely fit inside, but it won't sit down in there nicely and will wobble and fall out unless you hold onto it with one hand while you're pouring with the other, so not the ideal situation for that type of jar.

nope, that wont fit I. the shaker is only about 1/2" taller than a gallon can.

You should be able to use ONLY 1 to 1-1/2 cups to equal that quantity. This container hold quite a bit more than that.

No, this meant to be used inside the canner to be able to fit a second row of jars. The temperature needed to make the canner come up to proper steam wouldn't be safe, because the rack does not fully touch the burner. There is a definite space between the rack and burner. I would suggest a coil electric burner, or a propane gas burner. A glass top or induction burner wouldn't be safe enough.

Yes or no.If the top of the 1/2 gallon jar is the same diameter as a one QUART Ball or Kerr jar it will fit.You have to ask for the diameter of the 1/2 gallon jar top to know for sure.

Yes, so you can use the 7 little (6-oz) glass jars that come with, or 3 quart-size canning jars, or whatever jar you have that's about that size. P.S. I'm beyond pleased with this yogurt maker! It works really well!
