Is this suitable for using with a pressure canner? Will it maintain the necessary temperature to achieve 15 pounds of pressure?

Have three of these units and constantly having switches being repaired on them, no problem with keeping temperature , just reliability issues

Had problem with the switch (it melted) but not sure if it was unit or our voltage irregularities.

I used it for with a 23 quart Presto canner with 7 quart jars using the pressure canning method and felt it was sturdy. It does overhang. The Presto canner has a raised bottom that is just about the same size as the burner.

It only need light pressure to use it, compared to regular can openers. I was surprised myself how minimal strenght is needed. So far, mine is still working perfect.

Yes, if you are canning meats, or low acid vegetables. These do need a pressure canner.

I have no idea as to the pressure would be needed pound wise, but the opener is easy to use. My wife has R/A and she has no problems.

I don't think this pressure cooker is more than 10psi. I use a large canner with a gauge that goes up to 20psi. Highest recommended psi is 15psi. I have used 10 psi for almost everything and I find the cooking time comparable to that. Only way to know for sure, ask the manufacturer.

No, this is a pressure cooker and does not get to the required heat for any form of safe pressure canning.

Hello I have a Viking Residential/Commerical gas stove, it worked extremely well. That was my first time using a pressure cooker. I would strongly recommend purchasing this canner.

One pound of pressure difference isn't going to affect the temperature in your cooker by enough to do harm. Thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen pounds of pressure will work equally well, so the reading doesn't make a lot of difference in any case.

It would be too heavy and the unit wouldn't heat up enough.. I wouldn't use it for a canner that large.. Maybe a small canner would be a better match for the cadco.

yes. this is solely a water bath canner (or could be used as a very large stock pot), definitely not able to be used as a pressure canner. a pressure canner is a completely different piece of equipment.

I do canning but I would never use any pressure cooker for canning, not worth the worry, safety first.

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

My guess it would handle the temp. I cured my fuel tank at 140` but i dont think it would handle the pressure if there is any flex to the tank at all. This is an epoxy that dries solid. Just my 2 cents.

Yes it can. I have used it many times with my pressure canner and I have put warm water into the canner and it has been almons boiling when I put the hot jars in. I have always put the lid on befor it comes to a boil but it does come to a boil and has kept it there for as much as 75 minutes. I have had to turn it down becaue it is boiling to fast. If I knew what size pot you are usingm I could check it out and give you some idea how long it would gtake it to come to a boil. You might also want to know that I live in the mountains at about 3000 feet.Elaine

I don't have a pressure canner but I have a 20 qt aluminum pot which I can in- it fits without the handles perfectly. Since yours is 3 quarts larger, I'd say it probably fits perfectly

Yes. These work just fine in my pressure canner. I estimate mine reaches 240°F.
