What is the height of this canner? I need it to be at least 11.5 inches in order to have the two inches of water over the quarts and not boil over

I sell specialty preserves for a living & teach canning/preserving in my community & I swear by this canner and no other. I also put up almost all the food my family eats, which for a family of five includes lots of quart jars. When you use this canner you are able to use MUCH less water for most recipes, for my own peace of mind however, anything that processes more than 20 minutes I do water bath. This canner holds 7 quart jars, is a bit over 10" tall (not including the lid), which allows for more than 2" of water above quart jars without boil over, I've used it literally thousands of times with NEVER having it boil over. It is well worth spending the additional money, it's the best. I sell specialty preserves for a living & teach canning/preserving in my community & I swear by this canner and no other.

I have used this wonderful canning tool for over 5 years... use it from everything to 4oz - quart size jars... it is the greatest! :0) ... plenty of room for quart jars to have 2 inches of water above them for the 'waterbath' ...

The canner is not quite 10 inches to the rim where the lid rests. 9 3/4 inches from the bottom.

Sorry for the delay. The height is 9-1/8" and widith is 12-3/4". I've canned quart jars in this pot without a problem but I only use about 1" of water FYI, the lid does sputter a bit.

Ok, I just measured the exterior of the pot and it is about 12-3/4" without the lid. On the inside from the bottom to the rim the lid sits on it is 10". As I understand you are concerned about being able to water bath can quarts in this piece of equipment, so that is what I will address here. I placed a quart jar in the bottom of the Victorio Dual - Use Steamer and I measured from the top of the jar 2-3/4' to the rim area where the lid fits. So, as you see you may use this as a traditional water bath canner, and I have used mine this way because I forgot I could use it the other way. What other way you say, the great thing about this piece of canning equipment is that you are not required to cover the jars with two inches of water. Yep, you do not have to fill it over the top of the jars. I can't tell you exactly the amount of water, but it is in the instruction booklet. It is about the same amount of water you would put in a pressure canner, that is why this thing is so wonderful, you could water bath can 1/2 gallon jars of tomato juice in this thing. The 1/2 gallon jars fit in the canner and you have enough space at the top to cover the top of the jar when it is boiling but not 2 inches worth, but why would you want to waste the water. Speaking of wasting water, if you needed to save water consumption this thing would be very valuable in canning. You can also cook up a load of whole chickens in this thing too. The lid has a steam gauge on the top and you just look to see that your steam is at the proper level, and then begin to time based on the Ball Book for canning or USDA website. I love this thing. Key word in this is Dual..maybe it should say, triple use.

I guess it's 5 quart. I just poured a gallon of water into it and the water was 2 inches from the top.

I measured it to be 12" since the handle on the lid is 2" high. Hope this helps...I store mine on top of my refrigerator as it won't fit in my cabinet with the other pots and pans but i have a rather small kitchen and many large pans.

Hello, had to put my beer down and go measure it. it is 12" high without the lid. I just put mine on a set of cinder blocks so you don't have to bend down all day while cooking, or you can put it on a picnic table as long as it is not plastic. I love mine. take care

Mine is 7 1/4 inches at the top and about 5 1/4 inches at the bottom (it tapers) and 3 inches tall. It is really too small for my 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven. I should have gone at least the next size larger. My Dutch oven is about 9 5/8 inches at the top, about 8 1/4 inches at the bottom, and 4 inches tall. I hope that helps some. It should fit your 4-quart sauce pan better than my Dutch oven.

It measures 5 1/2". You need a 6" lid. I also have the 1 1/2 quart and that lid which is 6" fits this pot.

I've had the same question myself, but generally fill it with 2-3 quarts of water. You don't fill it as full as you do a regular canner.

I do not have it near by, but I will say, not very tall. Maybe 6 to 8 inches. Adequate for a cook pot of beans or stew over camp fire.

just measured: height right about 5 1/2" maybe a wee bit more w/lid but not much; for sure not 6, 7 or 10; i luv it - mainly for mixing; don't use much w/lid for refrig storage

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.

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.

The pitcher measures 11 1/2 inches high, not including the handle, which goes up another 7/8 inch. I hope this was a help. Oh, and I love this pitcher!

It is going to be a tight fit, measured mine and it was almost 16 inches tall. If you are like me, you will lift the lid or I lifted the strainer portion up to check on the progress of the juice. You might have to buy a separate fifth burner that you can sit on the counter and cook with it.

I would go 11" not more. You want a little wiggle room to accomodate water.

I used it for quart jars of tomato sauce, and there was plenty of room to fully cover the jars with water. The canner is about 9.5 inches tall. I do not know the height of half gallon jars.

The height is 8 and 1/4" and the diameter is 11 and 3/4" from the edge. The inner diameter of the pot is about 11".

I have used it for quarts and pints. There is plenty of space above the jars to be covered by the water. I use a gentle boil while canning and have had no problem with it boiling over. I love the clear glass lid to be able to monitor what is going on inside without having to lift the lid.
