Can these be used for canning? Will they take the heat? If not, do you sell some colored quart jars with handles that do?

No..I wouldn't use them for canning. The pink color would come off. I don't know if they sell ones that you are looking for.

The lids have high handles, yes which is good when the lid is hot. To store them, I used a wire/plastic coated dish/pot wrack and they stand up behind my stacked pots/pans.

Possibly, however fire may damage the handles if left on the pot. On another point we found these pots warp quite quickly which really sucks considering the price of them. Very portable yes, mediocre quality!

I believe the handles are oven safe to lower temps, but they are designed for waterless cooking on the stovetop. Putting them in the oven would defeat the purpose of these pans.

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

I believe since they are for a stove top, that they would not be suitable in the oven. The plastic handles would most likely melt.

I've never used it as a canner, but I'm sure it will hold a number of quart jars (exact number I do not know).

I would say no- handle too long. Handles made of wood and would eventually burn off. Requires VERY hot and direct heat to the pans.

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.

I bought these as a gift but I do not think the handles are heat resistant.

I wouldn't do that. In fact, according to salesmen of glass top stoves, they should not be used for canning at all. You'll need another stove, gas or electric coil for canning. Either replace your glass top stove, or get an outside propane cook top to do your canning outside.

They are heat resistant. The handles are actually very nice with a comfortable grip.

I used this pot for heating large amounts of tomatoes for summer canning. As I recall, I used pot holders as a matter of course as the contents got quite hot over a long period of time. Tougher hands may not have had a problem. It's a great pot for my purposes, I highly recommend it.

I honestly dont know. I bought the lids for a craft not for canning so I dont have experience with the jars at all...sorry!

Yes, they handle heated things well. I prefer my soup in ceramics though so i mostly use these for salads, fruits popcorn, and ral.

Canning jars can withstand heat while in pressure cookers and dishwashers. However, pouring hot coffee or soup into a jar-mug might crack it due to a sudden temperature change.I've never used them for hot drinks.

They do have part of the handle covered in a silcone type material, which does not get hot. Do not need potholders as long as you hold on to that part of the handle. I would assume if used in oven they may get hot, but I've never used them in the oven. Hope that answers your question.
