Is this pot good for canning?

The metal of this pot is so thin and I can't recommend it for anything. Also the glass veneer is easily damaged. I believe its primary purpose is to steam seafood.

No, you need a stove-top pressure cooker for canning, electric ones don't reach a high enough pressure.

No. these small ones are not safe for canning. You need one of the larger ones that are called pressure cooker canners; they have a gauge that is necessary to determine the you are cooking with the correct amount of pressure for the item being canned.

I do not recommend stock or other cooking in this pot as it has a wavy bottom to help circulate the water for canning.

I used this pot to blanch tomatoes so I could peal them to make spaghetti sauce. I have not used the pot to can tomatoes or salsa, which is why I bought it but never got around to canning anything. I didn't have any problems blanching the tomatoes. I hope this helped you.

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

I do believe that you can, as I had a turkey fryer full of boiling water going on it - that's bigger than the usual canning pot. There is an adapter you can buy if your pot is not magnetic, but it's only about 6" wide.

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by your question. It lifts food out of a pan, but it might be pretty awkward if you're trying to use it to lift a canning jar out of the hot water bath. Are you asking, does it react chemically to the food you're putting up? It seems to be of very high quality stainless steel, so I don't see any problem using it for canning in that respect.

It is designed for juicing not for canning. You can use the bottom pot as regular pot but it is not deep enough for water bath canning.

This is a large pot. It can be used as the water bath canner to process the jars in, but would be too large to make the jam in since jams and jellies are usually made in small batches.

Cannot be used for canning, would not be safe!!! If you have the jar attachment it can be used to store dried herbs and dehydrated vegtables.

Two books came with the product. Yes, you can use it to can. The cooker holds four one pint canning jars. Info in one book emphasizes the importance of canning correctly to avoid food poisoning. Here are two websites they listed and also one book: 1) www.foodsafety.org (also offers "The USDAHome Canning Guide" 2) www.home-canning.com 3 "Putting Food By" by Ruth Hertzberg, James Greene and Beatrice Vaughan P.S. I continue to use one or two of my cookers daily.

My pressure canner is 16 quart and it works really well! You have to experiment with the heat control until you find what works, but then you are on your way to consistent canning! I would highly recommend the cast iron 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.

this is not a canning pressure cooker! I purchased the Presto 16 qt pressure canner for canning. I believe you can purchase it here on Amazon! Do not buy the Deni it is a dangerous piece of junk
