I don't know. I have never used these Jars in a pressure canner as I did not purchase them for that. I would not use them for that purpose, as I use them for storage. Sorry that is not much help!

yes but it will still have about a 3 inch protrusion near the bottom that is used to heat the wood. it doesnt heat in pressure cooker mode. get the 7 and not the 5 quart model. you will be happier.

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

the 23 quart pressure cooker is BIG. unless she is going to do canning of quart sized jars I would think its too big. you need to find out what she plans to use it for. as for cooking she would have to be cooking for large groups or as I said canning on large scale. to give you an idea of the size of the 23 quart cooker you can cook 1 bushel of turnip greens after they are wilted, at one time. pressure can 7 quart jars or 20 pint jars at each canning.

yes we have an All American Pressure Canner 15 1/2 qt holds 7 quart jars and this is what we used to replace the gauge and it works great.

Although I have not used the 23 quart cooker, I would assume the results would be similar to the 16 quart and smaller cookers. I found no significant advantages in using a pressure cooker when cooking beans. Even with soaking them over night to release oxalic acids, they were too firm, even with the longer cooking periods that the manual vaguely suggested.

I do canning but I would never use any pressure cooker for canning, not worth the worry, safety first.

Maybe in very small amounts, but in general they should be cooked normally (like with the lid off of the pot). Best just to follow the instructions on what is best to cook in a pressure cooker, because you don't want the lid gasket and pressure valve to get gummed up if you cook the wrong things (or overfill the pressure cooker).

No there is not but I believe you can google "canning with pressure cookers" for that info. BArry. p.s. in the past I have canned salmon that way.

While I have used mine with a small 4qt pressure cooker I would not recommend a larger one as I think it may be too heavy for the unit considering the weight of the cooker plus the water and jars.

The interior dimensions are 9 11/16 inches diameter by 6 5/8 inches deep. If you are using the steamer basket to keep your canning jars off the bottom, however, you only get 8 1/8" diameter by 5 1/2" depth. Fagor recommends you purchase a 10 qt pressure cooker with their canning kit, which will hold 4 1-qt or 4 1-pt canning jars. The Fagor canning kit comes with a rack to keep the jars off the bottom, which is probably better as it will allow more air flow than the steamer basket. You do not want the jars touching the bottom or sides of the pressure cooker, or each other, or they may break during canning.

I have only used it as a smoker, although the manual says it can be used as a pressure cooker or steamer. It is small, however. I have the seven quart unit and you might get three full size canning jars in the unit. If you're going to do a lot of canning, I'd get a full size pressure cooker that can hold 5 or 6 jars.

I would address this question to the company particularly with respect to glass top stoves. Don't have one; don't like them. The pot is very narrow relatively to height and I think not an appropriate canning pressure cooker.

I don't know anything about a pressure canner but I use the single coil cook top as a steamer for silk painting. I boil a 4 quart pot of water with my steamer on top for 3 hours. It keep the water boiling and at the correct temperature for the full 3 hours.

yes, you can saute things in the cooker before actually using it as a pressure cooker. you can evenbrown meat in it.

Yes you can. The 10 quart one has the capacity for 4- 1 quart jars and they will weigh less than 50 Lbs. Don't forget you also can use this pot for many other purposes , like roast a whole chicken or boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes dish. Read the manual carefuly that comes with your pressure cooker and Happy caninng to you!
