can this be used for high pressure canning?

It can be used for canning, but timing is the main issue. Stop the item and let it cool itself after the time is allowed for cooking.

I have a huge pressure canner and a water bath canner I use. I only use my deni for cooking meals. But I will order a couple more of them. I enjoy the enlonged shape as opposed to the round shape. And I do not care for the hinged lid pressure cookers. I also love the convience of the electric pressure cooker. No watching or adjusting the heat. My Mom, Aunt, and Grandmothers would have loved this kitchen tool. When it comes to canning, I only use the special canning equipment. I do not want any injuries. Hope that helps you.

I bought the same item and I had to send it back, it did not work at all. However, I would advise you to call the manufactures' customer service.

I don't believe so but the jar broke and I discarded it so I can't tell you for sure other than you can't use the lid it comes with for canning and it doesn't have a good seal, it has a paper insertin the lid. My grandmother had the original version of this jar 50 years ago and it had a good tin lid and strong bailing wire around the lid to lift it with. This doesn't.

You could but it would be a waste of energy. The canner has a lot of mass and it all has to be heated. The porcelain canners have far less mass and are designed to heat up quickly (and their cost is minor). If it were me I would use the right tool for the right job. If you decide to do it anyway DO NOT SEAL THE LID.

No - according to the instruction book, you can only do high-acid canning, such as tomatoes or pickles, and also jelly or jam.This is the same as the type of canning you can do with a hot water bath in an open pot on the stove. The book is very clear that you cannot use this for canning anything else - no vegetables or meats! The book is also very clear that you should ONLY use the 26 recipes included in the book and to not use your own recipes. Very, very limiting!

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.

Yes, would be impossible/dangerous to use this equipment otherwise. I always find it helpful, when considering purchasing a product such as this, to read the manual BEFORE purchasing, to help determine if the product is for me. Here's a link to the manual if you're interested:http://www.allamerican-chefsdesign.com/admin/FileUploads/Product_44.pdfAll American makes the best home pressure canner on the market, bar none. If you need one that processes smaller batches or you happen to have a low range hood, this is your canner.

No, Its a nice cheap stoppered bottle that holds nonpressurized liquids. The bail holdng the stopper is just hooked into a small divot in the glass. I am pretty sure if it did stand canning pressure you would consider yourself lucky. Just my opinion though...... we all know what opinions are like too.

All kinds, but I primarily use it for pressure canning. Works great for that!

The older ones were not recommended for canning due to temperature not steady. I believe the newer ones have come a long way but I have never used one.The lady who helped me when I bought my GE electric range explained it to me.

I have a brand new 4 quart stainless steel Presto pressure cooker and I cannot fit a pint canning jar inside. The jar is too tall for the cover to fit on top of. The instruction booklet that came with the pressure cooker had recipes but no information on canning.

Millie - I bought it to use in a pressure canner, but have not tried it out yet. I can't imagine there would be any problem using it. Just be sure the size is compatible with the dimensions of your canner.

This canner is for Hot Water Bath canning only, and it is wonderful! You will need to purchase a "pressure canner" for things that require pressure canning. A Good pressure canner is the 16 QT Presto Pressure Canner. There are other good pressure canners but this one was reasonable in price for me compared to others. Hope this answered your questions???

I have done canning in mine but only jelly and jam, things that I would normally use a hot water bath to process. I have had complete success using this and find it invaluable when doing small batches of jams and jellies. I have not tried low acid foods in here as I see no way to regulate the pressure.

I found your model on the GE website and it is a smooth top range. This canner element is for a range that has individual elements that you can put in and take out. According to what I saw on the website, your range comes with a large burner and a hot burner, so it will probably work for canning unless the manual says not to use it for canning. If you want a separate canner element, look up hot plates for canning on Amazon. Some have good reviews.

No. It has a very wide opening and a special lid with a rubber type seal. It is not meant for canning.

No. these small ones are not safe for canning. You need one of the larger ones that are called pressure cooker canners; they have a gauge that is necessary to determine the you are cooking with the correct amount of pressure for the item being canned.

You are able to use the burners as regular burners, so I would say it would work for canning
