Can this be used on canning jars?

YES, this can be used on canning jars, but you need canning jar adapters. Look for Food Saver Wide Mouth and Regular Mouth canning jar sealers here on Amazon. All you need to do is use the Unit right over the hole on the canning jar sealers, no tubing necessary. NOTE: this does not replace pressure or heat canning for perishable items, but works well for preserving dried foods and extends the life of foods stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

Hi there, in answer to your question the instruction says: The vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. I hope this answers your question.�

I really don't see how it could. Heating the food and putting it in the jars, and then metal lids on it that seal as it cools.....I don't see how this would work. Maybe if you rigged something with tubing? Look it up on utube....It works great with the bags, and the plastic containers, though.

Sorry, not these, use the Tattler lids for canning. These have no seal on them.

i think it should work on any jar that it can seal on. it would have to be an almost exact fit for diameter, to fit in the sealing gasket.

I tried to use them on glass canning jars and they didn't even seal most of them. My guess is they wouldn't work at all for your buckets because they don't have a tight enough seal. They only absorb so much air before they quit working so if your seal isn't perfect they would wear out from the little bit of air seeping in. If you have a rubber ring inside the lid of your buckets, or if these are metal buckets you will "can" with metal lids, you might be able to get them to work.

Two books came with the product. Yes, you can use it to can. The cooker holds four one pint canning jars. Info in one book emphasizes the importance of canning correctly to avoid food poisoning. Here are two websites they listed and also one book: 1) www.foodsafety.org (also offers "The USDAHome Canning Guide" 2) www.home-canning.com 3 "Putting Food By" by Ruth Hertzberg, James Greene and Beatrice Vaughan P.S. I continue to use one or two of my cookers daily.

Yes, you just need to cover any size jar with at least an inch of water. I've canned 1/2 pint to quart jars in this.

I don't know if it will work on baby food jars.. I mainly bought it as an aid to me opening water bottles which it does the job well.

Yes, it would work great on mason jars. If you want removable, I would use the repositionable adhesive. Don't let the name mislead you, it sticks great until you want to take it off on purpose! If you have any problems getting all of the sticky off, Undo is the best product out there to remove glues.

Haven't used it for canning but based on my canning experience, I don't know why it wouldn't work.

This Simmer Mat Diffuser is of such thin metal that I don't know if it would be enough to protect the jars when canning.. I for one would not use it for that purpose.

I have not tried this, but it should work just fine. Maybe preheat the mason jar with some warm water before pouring in the mixture.

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can sealer", unless you're referring to the type of machine used to seal a lid on all-metal cans. If so, then no you can't. These glass jars are intended for canning foods using either a water bath method or pressure canning method.

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.

Only if your gallon bottle has a regular sized canning opening. I hope this helps. It does not fit my small opening on our gallon jug.

You should be able to use this on your glass top, but be aware that this thing gets incredibly hot! I have an electric stove, and i have to keep turning the heat down to regulate the canning process.

Cannot be used for canning, would not be safe!!! If you have the jar attachment it can be used to store dried herbs and dehydrated vegtables.
