Are you able to place a prepackaged pint directly into the container or do you have to scoop it out? Thank you.

i saw them using them at whole foods and i'm pretty sure they just had a prepackaged pint slipped in

Yes I believe you can place a prepackaged pint in it. I can test it out in a few days for you to be sure :-)

If the pint fits within the container, I don't think here should not be a problem. I have not tried it personally but since the container is made to keep ice cream frozen it should work in the freezer or keep the ice cream frozen longer for picnics. :-)

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

Hello.I just filled mine up and measured. It holds 1 pint, which is the customary size served in Britain.

personally I would make the patties and put them on a cookie sheet to freeze them and then put in a zippered freezer baggie. As far as these bags work - I have had no troubles with them and actually just placed a re-order for gardening season. I freeze green beans etc in them for the 2 of us and the pint is a good size for that.

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.

No, E.Wang You just have to unscrew it. But it was very cold and did it's job. What I didn't know is that your suppose to add fresh ice cream in this holder. What I did was place my unopened Ben & Jerry 's pint inside, from the grocery store to keep it cold until I came home. If you do have trouble I would use 2 flat rubber jar opener, one on the top one on the bottom and unscrew the lid. That would work. I hope this helps E.Wang

With the button on top of the container. You need a different type of container to use with a food saver.

Hi Cathy. I used pint jars just fine. I'm sure half pint (jelly jars) will be fine as well. Have fun!

I successfully used it with half pints, just make sure there are Anouilh to prop each other up.

No. You first insert the red plug in the spout then pour your broth into the cup part. Then, wait for the fat to separate and rise to the top (it takes a few minutes and sticking the entire thing into the fridge speeds up the process). After the fat has risen to the top of the liquid, take the plug out of the spout. This will draw the liquid into the spout but not the fat. As you pour, the fat stays floating on the top of the liquid. It does seem a little strange to visualize, but once you buy the product and see it in person it makes sense.

You can make a pint at a time. This is the size I usually make as I am still new to the machine. It is great for mixes such as Junket Ice Cream Mix which makes 1 pint/or 2 cups of mix. I like this because I do not run into any problems with it overflowing the container when freezing.

I agree with Jan on that. No removable container. Her way works for me too.

If you plan on a lot of pints, being able to double stack cuts the time in half. That's true with quarts too. It's nice to do more at a time but the canner gets heavier with size.

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.

You can squeeze it out if you squeeze really hard, I think. I haven't tried. But it wouldn't be easy :)

Odd. Mine came with a tube short enough to fit the 1/2 pint. Sorry for the inconvenience.
