Does it hold pint jars well?

You will want to be careful removing the dome with larger jars though. Just so you don't knock anything over.

It holds both pints and quarts. We enjoy it, in fact, we have two we use in canning. It takes so much less water.

Yes, any size from a quart down. I have never done any larger then a quart but I don't think it would take anything larger. I have done thousands of quart jars in it and I love it. I have 2 going at all times.

It does, 9 regular mouth pint jars or 7 quarts. I very much recomend this for anyone canning small or large amounts of anything. I will never go back to waterbath canners and have had a couple people tell me that they wish they would have listened to me sooner when I recomended they switch too. Saves soooo much time not having to wait for gallons of water to boil and never a broken jar or soggy pickle since switching.. :) sry if this was a little more info then requested but I do alot of canning (from jelly and pickles to salsas and sauces) and I love these.

It will hold 8 regular jars or 7 wide mouth jars very well ~ Or 7 quart jars ~

I've, so far, only used qts. Pints should be a snap. Don't process quite as long.

Yes, it does and very nicely, too. Half pints are a bit problematic since the wire rack is a bit too wide to hold them easily, but it can be done if you place them carefully.

We use it for BOTH pints and quarts and it works fine. We do a lot of canning and have two steamers and really appreciate that you use less water. It takes about a T spoon of vinegar to the batch too keep the inside of the steamer from turning dark.

yes, I stack pint jars 2 high with no problem. I make sure that the bottom of the jars is not squarely on the lid under it.

The cup holder is adjustable so I think it would fit a mason jar. It holds my hiking water rei bottles and those are wider than my coffee cup or soda can.

Not really. I use jar lifters to get my jars in and out of the water. The rack works pretty well, I just wish the rings the jars sit on were closer. I have had problems with half pints shifting and staying in place during canning.

Yes, I have them on pint-size and half-gallon size jars, as well. Be careful, though, because I learned a lesson that there are different sizes of mouths on the jars--some I think are considered wide-mouthed jars. Just make sure you measure the width of the opening to make sure the lids will fit. I have mine sitting on a table but I think you could definitely hang them from a branch.

It will hold 4 of the typical Mason 1/2 gallon jars. (I went and tested their fit in mine... no way to squeeze 5 in...)

i also have used pint jars. the rack supplied, is of the same design as other canning kettles. this kettle is one of the best i've owned, and worth every penny. go for it.......

Not sure about that. I bought it to use as a pseudo rack to hold jars when canning. It worked fine for that, but the one time I didn't remove it immediately, the ratchet left marks in my stainless steel pot which remain to this day. I've scrubbed it and tried everything to no avail. When I replace the canning pot, I'll remember that lesson. Hope that helps.

Hi Rodney, I have this item and really like it. I have it packed away right now or I would try out the smaller pint size mason jars to let you know. It will hold normal size mason jars in the center compartments only. The compartments on the edges are to small to fit a normal mason jar. The pint size are smaller in diameter so they might fit, but this little bucket seems a bit deep to drop those pint size jars in the slots. Maybe someone else can give you a better answer.

I do not know if it holds beer cans well. It holds other cans well - with extra room.

Yes, it will. I placed a rack like this on the bottom, then pints and another rack and a second layer of pints on top of the second rack. It works really well for my 21 quart presto canner equipment. This is the best rack I have found. It allows good circulation.

The openings are too small for the jars to slip through. That is the reason I bought them. I bought two because I can stack them when using the squat little jars. They work perfectly!

Mr. Zeigler, I use these small pint-size jars for a great many things in my kitchen cabinets (spices and and in my refrigerator to store small amounts of left overs. I have not stacked these at all because I am fearful the top jar would topple.

No. It holds spice jars, but any jar with a larger circumference would not fit. Sylvia

I have this pot as well as the Ball Canner. There is very little difference between the two. I use both on my smooth top range without any problems.it will hold 7 qt or 8-9 pt jars.

They will fit regular mouth pint jars. There are others made for wide mouth jars.

Yes, it is a strong magnet. If the jars also have magnets on them no problem. If it is just a glass jar with a metal lid; however, do not risk it. Plastic with metal lid may work.
