How many qt canning jars will it hold?

I measured mine today. It is true, you cannot use the rack that comes with it, but I have a ~5-inch little trivet that works really well. I checked--you can put 3 pint jars in it while sitting on my little trivet. (NEVER put the jars directly on the bottom.) I read the instruction book, and there is a reference to a Ball canning lid being ok to use in it. They do not say you can use it to pressure can, but I am taking that reference as being that it is ok to use it to can (ALWAYS WITH CARE!) You must not overfill the unit. My unit only takes 3 pint jars--no quarts. Another consideration is that a proper "canner" came with a rack to hold each jar in place so they do not bang each other. I am going to take chunks of aluminum foil and wad it loosely up and stuff it in a loop between the pint jars to hold them apart. For my first attempt I may sit it out on the deck, just in case :-), but I really do not think there should be a problem.

This pot i got for my son so i can't say for sure. But i also got a pot for myself that's another brand that is over 6 quarts and my pot will not hold any quart mason jars to do canning because of the rack that sits on the bottom of the inner pot making the lid not to fit.

Yes. It will fit the small mouth qt. size canning jars. If you are going to do a lot of grinding I'd recommend an electric model. I got mine to grind coffee, but I roast so much I had to switch to the B&D electric model - otherwise it took too long and wore me out. This model is much better for herbs, nuts, & etc. not large quantities of coffee.

I'm not sure what it will ultimately hold, but I use it for storing my home canned foods and supplies and have had absolutely no sagging with the shelves full of quart and half gallon jars or pints double stacked.

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

If you are looking to store your seeds in smaller containers, I would suggest 1/2 gal. glass mason jars. My 25lb. bag filled just over 9 of these jars, with enough left over to fill 1/2-3/4 of a quart mason jar. I would also suggest a LARGE mouth funnel (wide mouth canning funnel) to assist in filling said jars. All the jars are stored in my dark and cool pantry.

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.

My Cambro 6QT fits in with enough room for 2 or 3 other jars. I can do two loaves out of them.

The canning rack fits the large enamel blue canning pot that holds 7 quarts, the rack is actually 12" across so if your pot is more than 12" across it will fit. if you measure your pot and it is a little larger than 12" X 12" you are all set. Hope you buy it because it is a great investment used it last year for about 50 quarts and this year it was just as nice as when I bought it and did another 90 quarts..

This is just a guess, but I think one of these jars would hold about 4 liquid ounces. Weight measured in ounces would vary, depending upon what it is.

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.

You might be able to fit 40 if all of the spice jars were the tiny ones as shown on the bottom row. But if you have the regular sized jars, you'd get about 20 total. Honestly, I hated this thing and it ended up in my trash can. The spices were hard to get in and out, and it is cheaply made...just my opinion, of course!

About 7 half-pints fit into the canner well. Have not tried with pint jars, but it sounds like you really want half pints so it should do the job.

I placed quart canning jars, a mix of brands , into the pot and put 7 in with a little room between them; BUT I would not use 7 because the boiling water won't have enough room to circulate properly around the jars.

Made a mash tun out of this. It will only hold about 60 qts of liquid. The rest is in the lid space.

7 quart jars or up to 20 pints. be sure to use the canning rack. be sure to use another canning rack if double stacking pint jars.

7 quart jars fit in this canner, whether you are pressure canning or using it as a hot water bath canner.

I've used it with 4 oz standard and squat jars, 8 oz. jars, and with quart jars. All work well in this, although if you are doing a HUGE number of jars, you will need to process in progressive increments, as this only holds 7 jars and stacking is not recommended in waterbath canning.
