Will it work for pressure cooker canning? I'm considering buying one for this because I need an even temperature.

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.

It works great for pressure cooking. I use mine all the time. I have the version that has 5 F degree increments. One thing we do is cook whole organic chicken for 10 hrs on high pressure at 205 degrees F (after the max pressure is reached) until the bones are able to be smushed. We just dig in to the whole "mess" and eat everything. My other cooktop has only increments of 30-40 degrees. That just doen't do for cooking many things that need precise temperatures. I can do those on the PIC. Be aware of this when shopping for cooktops. The timer function is GREAT when you want to do something long and slow. It works great for pressure cooking.

NuWave offers a pressure cooker compatible with induction cooktops. But, Amazon search is always a good comparison shopping tool.

Their website states that the cooker is suitable for canning, with loads up to 50lbs.

While I have used mine with a small 4qt pressure cooker I would not recommend a larger one as I think it may be too heavy for the unit considering the weight of the cooker plus the water and jars.

According to the website only the 10 quart model can be used for pressure canning and this is the 8 quart model. http://www.fagoramerica.com/cookware/pressure_cookers/splendid_line/splendid

From Sidney - I never have used it for a regular pressure cooker, but I don't see any reason why you can't. The instructions have recipes for cooking in the All-American. It's a nice pressure canner, you will like it if you get one.

Yes, you can use it as a slow cooker, sort of--by ignoring the timer dial--and turning the air release valve to the vent setting. As long as the cooker is plugged into power, your food will continue to cook. Of course, you won't be able to regulate temperature, thus how slow you cook, and although the Warm light will be glowing, the fluids in the pot will be depleted pretty quickly. As for canning, well, I used it for canning pint jars of tomatoes, pickles, end-of-the-garden soup and occasional other veggies last summer. You can only fit in four pints at a time, but it worked beautifully.

I've only used it for.canning and as a large stock pot. Works great I have have no problems since ordering. I rarely use the pressure lid as most of.my canning process doesn't require it.

I would think if it can be used in a pressure cooker, why not a crock pot. It is a nice heavy one, not thin.

Not a good idea. The burner is quite small (5 3/4" diameter). You would risk having your pressure cooker fall off. I'd suggest a larger unit.

Does this pressure canner work on seperate single range burners like the BroilKing? I am afraid to use it on my glass cooktop. Thanks

I don't have a pressure cooker so I can't help you there. I have used it to lay fish on it and steam the fish. I did not want the fish in the water and it worked fine. Might want to use some pan spray so fish does not stick.

I've used one eith my pressure cooker for 90 minutes -and not at max heat setting didn't seem to hurt it any set up I use noe for canning is what my Amish neighbors use -propane burner set up and in an outdoor (back porch ) kitchen.

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.

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

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.

I purchased one hoping it would work for my pressure cooker and it did not. Not because of the weight but because of its size (design) and shape. So weight is not a factor but shape and size are.

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.

This has turned out to be an excellent hot plate for both canning and pressure cooking. We now do our pressure cooking (canned salmon) on this hot plate sitting in our barbeque outdoors on the deck to avoid any odors in our home. It works well and I'm sure you'll have no problems with it.
