yikes, quarts don't fit for canning: Can anyone help?

I'm probably too late to help you, but tomatoes can be water bath canned (which is probably why the recommend not using the pressure gauge and having the hot water bath up above the lids). I use a large tamale pot. You don't actually need the pressure canner for tomatoes. Some directions recommend it for a shorter canning time, but results are very good with the straight water bath and a little lemon juice for higher acid.

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.

You can use whatever size of jars that will fit into your canning pot with at least an inch of water above the top. My generic stock pot is too short to use larger jars, but I can easily use various kinds of smaller jars. The only important factor is that inch of water.

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

I don't see why not, but you would have to have a pot tall enough to cover the quart jars with water...keep in mind this is small and would most likely only take either 2 or 3 quart jars at a time. Good luck

Fewer would fit, naturally, but the height of the canner would allow 1/2 gallon jars, so I would say it is possible. I haven't tried 1/2 gallon jars and the instructions in the manual only give times for quart and pints.

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

As answered earlier, yes you theoretically could. However just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. 1: it would be an awfully tight fit. 2: half gallon jars are not recommended for pressure canning by the FDA as well as every canning manufacturers (such as ball) out there. 3: all canning recipes I have are in quart and pint amounts. I assume you are changing that too fit your needs. By doing so, you could inadvertently affect chemical compositions and end up with issues latter. Bottom line is Yes but you shouldn't.

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

Yes, so you can use the 7 little (6-oz) glass jars that come with, or 3 quart-size canning jars, or whatever jar you have that's about that size. P.S. I'm beyond pleased with this yogurt maker! It works really well!

I believe the Cook N Home pot is not deep enough for quart jars. There is not enough space above the jars for the recommended 1" depth of water for canning. I cannot find my booklet to see if it mentions use on smooth-top range.

5 pint jars will fit in the 6 qt size. These and most digital pressure cookers and not designed for pressure canning. But if you want to hot water bath can, it will work, but would be much slower than a stove top canner. This brand would probably be the best for pressure canning if you want to risk it though because it is the only one I know of that has a pressure read out. It is however not a true pressure read, just an interpolated temperature sensor under the pot.

Do you mean 7 quart canner. I use it for my 7 quart canner all the canning season. This a canner that holds 7 quart jars to be canned. Must adjust like you would a regular stove.

It is designed for 3 one-pint jars. You can't (or at least I can't) fit 3 quart jars in it. You might put 2 one quart jars in it, but then you'd need a pot high enough.

Even if it could, you'd have a hard time getting the canning jar to fit inside. This container is not that tall. I'd say even a pint jar would be a close fit.

Here's an answer that I posted to a similar question: I've used a 2-qt Ball canning jar, which is too tall, but if you cover the Ball jar with a lid, then put a plastic baggie over the whole thing, it works! Alternatively, I've used a barrel-type pickle jar, which fits but only makes 46 oz. at a time. I actually brought the base of the machine with me to the grocery store, to find a pickle jar that would definitely fit.

You could use this for any of your recipes, seeing that it's misleading.... it's only got a 6 quart capacity! I just received mine, and measured it. Yep, only 6 quarts will fit in it.
