I need something that I can use for canning. Does anything fit the bill?

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.

This is not designed for canning. Although several quart jars will fit in it, there is no pressure gauge. Our canning cooker has a pressure gauge and a way to adjust the pressure. This cooker is great to cook meals especially meats. Has a non stick surface.

The only jars safe to use for canning are those specifically made for that. This is a decorative jar only.

Hello, this jar is for decorative use, it will not work for actual canning.

No. It has a very wide opening and a special lid with a rubber type seal. It is not meant for canning.

This is not to be used to replaced canning. You could, however, use this when making a recipe specifically called "refrigerator pickles", and using the vacuum would basically marinate them more quickly.

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 wanted to but found out to do canning, you must have a pressure cooker designed for that purpose. In other words, it must have a pressure gauge on top of the cooker to measure the pressure. Needless to say, one of those is on my wish list~!!! :)

None that I am aware of, we have used it to do canning and has worked fine. Only problem is the paint burns off the second or third time you use it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the question may be asking if the Amazon bundle with "Home Preserving" and the canning kit are worthwhile. I'm a newbie as well so I can't really answer that although I did get the canning book in the mail today and it looks sturdy enough for a beginner. I already used the wide-mouth funnel for an unrelated cooking endeavor and wonder why I never had this handy gadget already.

Honestly, I am not sure. But now you have me curious! That is a really cool idea. I do know sone people that may know. If you're on Facebook, look up a group called "Canning". They are an amazing group of people, very helpful and nice.

I would totally believe you could. You boil water as hard as you can when you are doing canning. It's plenty deep which makes it perfect for steaming

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.

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!

The previous answers are incorrect about using this for canning. The USDA has very specific guidelines for canning including temps and PSI. The standard for all canning is 15 psi. In fact most recipes for pressure canners are based on the 15 psi. standard. Most all of these electric pressure cookers are below the 15 psi. standard and cannot be used for canning. High acid foods can be just water boiled,

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.

Hi there, in answer to your question the instruction says: The vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. I hope this answers your question.�
