I do not can, but the product is very reliable. You can cook with confidence that it will be the correct temp.

The jar is air tight but does NOT have a rubber ring of any kind. I'm not sure this would work for canning. Try contacting the company with your question. Good luck. :)

This will not work for canning, I do a lot of canning and own this burner and know for a fact this does not have Enough power. Great unit though for cooking

It is much more convenient. Depending on what you are canning, it may or may not save time. For example, with jams, yes; with tomatoes, no. But not having to deal with a giant pot of boiling water is a plus.

Yes, you can use glass canning jars on this blender. I use a pint sized one often.

yes, that's what I use. although I'm told you shouldn't use it for canning on a flat top range.

Yes a rolling boil is necessary for canning, and with my experience, this canner is just fine at high temps. That's what it's made for. Just crank the burner to high and let her roll.

Hello, this jar is for decorative use, it will not work for actual canning.

I wouldn't use this for canning or anything else that requires long cooking. There's some type of built in shut-off mechanism...for safety's sake, I'm sure...that shuts it off about every 5 minutes. I use it for melting candle wax, and I sometimes have to re-start it a couple of times when melting even small amounts in a 2-pound pour pitcher. It would probably be durable enough, but the auto shut-off thing is a pain.

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 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

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.

No. Not even close. Just tried it. :-) Besides, it best to store canning jars upright in case they break seal and leak. Best to build shelves.

Yes I believe it should work for canning, it's BTU output would appear to be sufficient, and it boils water as fast as any other electric burner I've used. I've had it for about 3 months, and I use it at least 2x a day with no problems so far.

No. This is a canner for processing jars of canned produce. It replaces a water bath canner.

Modern day canning advise does not recommend canning vegetables in anything other than a pressure canner. However, this steam canner can be used for anything you would normally feel safe canning in a water bath. I have canned tomato sauce and pickles with no problems. It is up to the individual canner what risks/limits you feel safe taking. I personally would not use it for green beans at least, but again tomatoes and pickles have worked great!
