Do bigger jars fit in here or only pint jars? Like would the big ones for canning tomatos fit?

I can in half-Pint, Pint & Quart jars. Just adjust water level so it is about an inch or two above the jars you are using.

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've only used pints and quarts. It sits flat so would probably be OK on smaller jars as well.

These fit quart and pints standard size. If you can take a quart size mayonnaise jar lid and fit it on your gallon jar, it fits, otherwise no! Gallon jars usually have a larger opening.

Yes, you can use any size jar you wish. Just remember to adjust the processing time to the size jar you are using. The directions give you some of these times. It is always a good idea to have a copy of the Ball Blue Book for canning & freezing to get the latest processing times. If there is a discrepancy, use your best judgement. These instructions say to process tomatoes 45 minutes. The Ball Blue Book says 80 minutes. I use 60 minutes because any longer causes problems with sealing in a water bath. This canner will not hold 7 of my old quart jars but for pints, you should be able to get about 10 or so jars in depending on shape. Good Luck! Yes, you can use any size jar you wish.

Fit pints and regular (not wide mouth) quarts. There are white plastic lids that fit wide mouth jars. Don't know diameter of gallon jar mouths.

The lids fit standard pint jars. My original lids that came with the jars were one piece with the rubber seal inside. So when I replaced them I needed both the screw on lid and the rubber seal piece I love these jars and beg for people to return them. Of course, some do and some don't. Very pretty jars IMHO.

They fit perfectly on standard wide mouth mason jars pint and quart. Maybe you can see if your mayo lid fits on one of those?

A normal quart (Mason or Ball) canning jar fits. Anything shorter than 6.5" and narrower in diameter (width) than 3.5" will fit.

It depends on the size but you can certainly use jars from other yogurt makers, you would just put them in. They should fit, I believe most are similar, but I cant confirm.. you would have to compare the size of the jars.

The rack will fit only standard size jars. Not sure of size but I think it holds 5-6 jars across. I like it very well. I would think that you would too. I wish I would have bought 2.

it fits regular jars. we have been trying them on canning jars some time it will not fit right, will not thread tight. i only got two to try out on some jars we had. they do light up and are bright enough for what we need them for.

These fit wide mouth canning jars, both quart & pint, & also wide mouth smaller jars. Regular canning jars (quart, pint, & most jelly jars) take a "regular" size lid. Hope this helps.

It will depend on the size of jar she will mainly use. My wife uses a lot of the pint size so the bigger was better. If she mainly will use quart the small will be fine.

no jar, but I would recommend at least the quart size jars. I use canning jars and the plastic canning jar lids to store what I've made. Initially I did pint jars, but that's a little small.

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.
