not with an inch head space. Also, these pots don't have handles on the sides, so moving them when they are full or hot is difficult.

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.

They will fit but I don't think you can get the inch of water over the top for hot water bath.

Yes, this will hold (7) 1/2 Gallon Ball Jars easily, and that is with the included rack in the canner, and lid on it. Like the others had commented, I do not think that you can get an inch of water over the jars, although in my experience you dont really need it, and funny how ball makes the jars, but gives no recipies for using these large jars! I'm sure the jars will still seal even if they are not completely covered. I would not recommend trying to move it while it is full though! There are no handles, and I do not use mine in the house, I use it in the garage over a propane stove. Good Luck!

I can in half-Pint, Pint & Quart jars. Just adjust water level so it is about an inch or two above the jars you are using.

This pot i got for my son so i can't say for sure. But i also got a pot for myself that's another brand that is over 6 quarts and my pot will not hold any quart mason jars to do canning because of the rack that sits on the bottom of the inner pot making the lid not to fit.

Do you mean 7 quart canner. I use it for my 7 quart canner all the canning season. This a canner that holds 7 quart jars to be canned. Must adjust like you would a regular stove.

We have some smaller Penzy jars, I believe 1/4 cup and we can put two in one slot. If the 1/2 cup jars are the same diameter and just double the height of the 1/4 cup jars then yes, they would fit. Hope this helps!

I just measured the height available for a can and and it was about 5 1/2 inches so whatever diameter can fit into 5 1/2 inches, I think it will work. We only have cans in ours. I can, but I don't think I would want to put my jars in this. I would feel somewhat uncomfortable with the glass jars being on their side, rolling and and moving to the bottom level. This storage unit is not heavy duty. Mine works fine for my purposes for storing cans of items I use frequently like canned soups, Bush beans, tomato sauce, chilies and such.

I did, be sure you use the side for smaller jars, i.e. one side for quart size, other for pint and smaller jars. Hope this helps.

These are small lids-- the size is close to a standard milk bottle. If you mean Ball canning lids, no. I don't think that will work.

I've only used pints and quarts. It sits flat so would probably be OK on smaller jars as well.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter, so I needed to check with her on this. She said she can fit 7 quart sized jars in the canning pot

You should not use this pressure cooker to can in. Please see: http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/uga/using_press_canners.html the recommendation is to only use a canner that you can fit 4 QUART jars in.

Most likely not. I don't have any 1 gal. canning jars, but these are for pint & quart regular canning jars, but in one piece instead of a lid & a ring

Yes, they''re perfect for quart size jars. I find them a bit too long for pint, but perfect for quart.

It is designed for 3 one-pint jars. You can't (or at least I can't) fit 3 quart jars in it. You might put 2 one quart jars in it, but then you'd need a pot high enough.

Kathy - Yes, it would support canning jars. It's heavy duty enough and the molded metal rim would help stabilize it as well. The legs are v-shaped and pinned at the top so they are every sturdy. How big is your canner? The only problem I can foresee is that the thing is only 8 1/4" inches in diameter. Your canner must certainly be much bigger than that?!? It adds roughly 1 3/4" in height as well. Pretty tall - to my way of thinking!

I have pint jars (16 oz) and they fit. They work great! Not sure about quart size (32 oz), you'll have to ask them...

The canning pot is 7 1/2 inches high. It will fit 7 pint jars. I also use it for jars that hold 8 oz. and 12 oz.
