Will this work with a large pressure cooker? I want to use it for canning.

Absolutely, I use it for a HLT heating 7-10 gal. of water to make beer. It gets 5 gal. to a boil in 90 min. in a 15 gal kettle.

The cooking surface is about 11" in diameter and as long as the material of the pressure cooker is magnetic, I don't see why it wouldn't.

I'd think it would work. I often use pots on it that are larger than the heating surface - the pot "hangs over" the edge a bit, but as the cooking surface is flat it works well. However, be sure that the bottom of your pot is FLAT - if it's dome-shaped or warped it won't be in full contact with the heating surface and won't work well.

Yes I believe it will, as I use it with a pot that is 12 inches wide at the bottom.

From Sidney - I never have used it for a regular pressure cooker, but I don't see any reason why you can't. The instructions have recipes for cooking in the All-American. It's a nice pressure canner, you will like it if you get one.

No, this unit is not capable of performing the pressure needed for canning. The food saver brand has special canisters for vacuum sealing foods such as grains, and other limited types of foods.

this is not for canning. It is a very tech design pressure cooker, for meals, roasts, all kinds for foods. But not canning.

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.

While I have used mine with a small 4qt pressure cooker I would not recommend a larger one as I think it may be too heavy for the unit considering the weight of the cooker plus the water and jars.

It's a small pot with a basket that fits inside, has a lid and is great for boiling. As for canning use, you would need to make that determination. I don't know if you need pressure for canning. If so, no it won't work. If you just need to put a jar into it and boil it, then yes it would and the basket would make removal of the hot jar easier.

Please, please be careful with the anything other than what if furnished with this appliance to cook inside your pressure cooker..Using anything other than recommended suitable and not following directions with the manual can turn any pressure cooker into a disastrous and possibly fatal situation. The diameter of the lid I don't think will be of use to you but the pot diameter is 9 3/4 inches..

I found your model on the GE website and it is a smooth top range. This canner element is for a range that has individual elements that you can put in and take out. According to what I saw on the website, your range comes with a large burner and a hot burner, so it will probably work for canning unless the manual says not to use it for canning. If you want a separate canner element, look up hot plates for canning on Amazon. Some have good reviews.

Yes, if your pressure cooker has an inside diameter of at least 10.5 inches.

No, this is a pressure cooker and does not get to the required heat for any form of safe pressure canning.

If you are talking pressure cooker, I would not. Although it is very sturdy, pressure cookers are temperamental, so to speak. It can be used with a steamer very well . Hope this helps.

I think it could, but you will not get much in the pot. It's only six quarts. Most canning pressure cookers are upwards of 20 quarts.

It is a 10-Quart canner; small for a pressure canner. This sounds like it will fit just fine. Thanx bunches for the insight!

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.

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.

I love mine, the T-fal P2510737 unit. This unit is really only for pressure cooking, NOT pressure canning. The new types are so much easier than the old ones that could overpressurize. One thing that is really important, let the unit vent steam for several minutes before closing it to make sure you get a good seal. The instructions were not a clear on that but i knew to do it from pressure canning.
