I don't believe so, it is designed for cooking not canning. You might fit a few 1/2 pint jars in it. Don't recall it saying anything about canning with it the booklet.

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.

SisterZ, I do not know the answer to that question, but if you go to www.missvickie.com, Vickie Smith will probably be able to help. She has a website dedicated entirely to pressure cooking. One of her services is to answer questions such as this. You could also try contacting the manufacturer of your range.

NO!! Only high acid items like fruits and tomatoes! Everything else MUST be pressure canned! If you don't have the Ball Canning book, please procure one and follow the times prescribed ~

no idea but i doubt it since it is a pressure cooker (breaks down food) and nothing else

NO you cannot pressure fry in any regular pressure cooker it is dangerous! You need a very special pressure fryer and they cost over $300

You definitely can. It is a stainless steel so it should not be a problem. However, make sure you set it on a medium flame because the handles can sometimes go bad with continuous exposure to high heat. But the body of the cooker itself is of a very good quality steel and can be used as pan for sautéing, as pressure cooker and of course for deep frying too.

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.

No. I have been trying myself. The product has been discontinued. For me the pin which moves depending on the amount of pressure fell thru the lid in addition to the sliding aspecting has become nearly impossible. I am shopping for a new pressure/slow cooker. I have been in contact with the company they are not able to replace items.

YES But pressure cooker is a piece of junk. Burns on bottom. Hard to put lid on.

I think so. All you need is heat to cook with the pressure cooker, just be sure to follow the guide sent with it. Ours is wonderful!!

Yes, they can. But oats can be problematic in any pressure cooker as they tend to make foam that can rise and cause the cooker to "leak" at the gasket. I recommend cooking small amounts. But the Kuhn is good choice for oat cooking as it is tall and makes it harder for the foam to rise too much (still in small batches is best though...!)

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.

Sorry, I don't know. The gasket didn't work. I followed the instructions and tried it several times but, it was not right, so eventually I scrapped the pressure cooker. I hope you have better luck than I had.

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.

There are different options that you can use with the pressure cooker. There is a button to brown whatever you are cooking. This pressure cooker is the best that I have ever used.
