I do canning and need something that can hold the canner and provide enough heat to process the food. Can this do the job?

Absolutely the heating plate is large and the temperature control goes from low to very hot. I have an outdoor kitchen and used the burner for canning myself. You shouldn't have any problem with this unit.

I find this burner very slow. My pressure canner is only 10.5 quarts and I can't imagine how slow it would be on some of the larger canners.

We have the two burner version of this, a 1300W and 500W burner. Both will boil water, and the 1300W burner does it quickly, even with a 6 quart pot of water we use to boil pasta. At 1300W for the single burner, I would think it should do the job for you.

I don't believe so, it is designed for cooking not canning. You might fit a few 1/2 pint jars in it. Don't recall it saying anything about canning with it the booklet.

I'm afraid I'm of no help here. It can certainly hold quarts, but I don't know what else is required for canning. We use ours on commercial gas stoves, so I don't really know if they would work on cooktops. Sorry!

Yes, pressure canners are a must for low acid foods such as meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. Always follow your canning recipe and you'll be okay.

Yes..... you can use pints, just use the recommended process time, it does take a little bit of time to heat the water, I keep my canner on low when I am filling jars and add hot tap water to fill line. This canner is a lot faster than a regular one. Happy Canning

I think that depends on the individual unit. The materials it's made of are fairly heavy but it is very cheaply made. After I got mine I had to bend stuff around and do some rewelding. If we're talking large canning pots I think I'd look elsewhere.

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.

You probably could as long as the cannister or can fits into the warmer. It works wonderfully for me. Hope this helps.

It, should work. It, is one if the best investments you can make for canning.

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

I have a huge pressure canner and a water bath canner I use. I only use my deni for cooking meals. But I will order a couple more of them. I enjoy the enlonged shape as opposed to the round shape. And I do not care for the hinged lid pressure cookers. I also love the convience of the electric pressure cooker. No watching or adjusting the heat. My Mom, Aunt, and Grandmothers would have loved this kitchen tool. When it comes to canning, I only use the special canning equipment. I do not want any injuries. Hope that helps you.

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.

doesn't heat consistently enough and it would not hold up your canner anyway.

I think it could, but you will not get much in the pot. It's only six quarts. Most canning pressure cookers are upwards of 20 quarts.

I'm not sure. This was designed for water bath canning. The water in a pressure canner can reach 240 degrees F, higher than the 212F in a water bath canner.

No, this meant to be used inside the canner to be able to fit a second row of jars. The temperature needed to make the canner come up to proper steam wouldn't be safe, because the rack does not fully touch the burner. There is a definite space between the rack and burner. I would suggest a coil electric burner, or a propane gas burner. A glass top or induction burner wouldn't be safe enough.

The direction say that you can. I have not used it for canning yet. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
