Yes. I just finished canning soup. You can do anything in it. I love this canner. I bought a second one to use this canning season.

No!! Meats and some vegetables must be pressure canned. (potatoes, green beans). You can NOT water bath or steam can these. Refer to the ball canning website for more info.

Yes it is. You will find out if that is something you really enjoy. Putting a lot of money into a pressure canner isn't something you want to do unless you are sure you will use it a lot. Check out canning books too. Some foods, like green beans, and not the best to try as they take about 3 hours in one of the water bath canners. Start out simply and you'll do well. Lots of information available to help you too.

I haven't tried soup in mine, but I would definitely allow it to cool off before pouring in. The container seems to be more appropriate for dry goods. I keep flour and sugar in mine. Tomato based soups would likely stain the container. I LOVE these containers.

Hi, I only recently got this lovely Magafesa pot. I have used it for cooking stew, but not cannning. However, I did use my old Prestige wobble top pressure cooker for canning when I made both marmalade and pepper jelly. Did you contact the Spanish manufacturer

This is a one quart pot with lid. It can obviously hold one quart, but this will leave little space for 'boiling'. Depending on the volume of your can of soup, it would be adequate if you avoid overheating and stir often.

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

If you freeze the soup first, then use the food saver, you could, but you can't do liquids directly. :(

I'm sorry I can't answer you truthfully. I have use the pot for canning and soups. I needed a good heavy pot and this one ended up back at Amazon and I got a better one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Same kind of pot different mfg. and heavier. The one I received from \Amazon was out of round so the two pieces did not fit good.

yes, you can. The quality of the pot is not as good as I expected. It is indeed thin.

I just use the recipe on the can to make broth and then add whatever veggies I desire at the time. I also use it for a seasoning in potato salad, rice, etc. It is a wonderfully. Versatile item in my pantry!

No it will not hold an unopened can of Campbell's Chunky soup. The can is a bit too tall.

The direction say that you can. I have not used it for canning yet. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Yes - this can also hold your 15-16oz cans of soup/beans. But you'll have less space available than spice-sized containers!

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

No, it will only work as a steamer or juicer. My suggestion would be to buy an All American canner for canning.

I do not can, but the manual says that you can. I have enclosed a link where you can down load the manual and see the instructions for canning. I do have a friend who does some canning, she used this and likes it. http://www.maxi-matic.com/product.php?productid=206&cat=80&page=1

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.
