User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this for water bath canning
Answer:	I have used this canner for water bath jam and it works great. Though it would be nice if it came with a separate lid for that- I was able to find a separate glass lid that did the trick. You could use the lid it comes with without latching (as a cover only), however I used to own one with a glass lid and I liked that feature. It’s just a personal preference though and won’t effect the end result.
Question:	Can you use this one on a glass top stove
Answer:	Not recommended
Question:	Will a half gallon jar fit in the canner
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can this be used on a gas stovetop
Answer:	yes most definitely!

Product description

Used to elevate the food temperature above 240-degree F which kills all the bacteria including botulism spores found in low acid foods such as meats, poultry, fish and some vegetables. Step-sided construction allowing pressure cooking and steaming. Hard anodized finish so it can be used as a pressure cooker or steamer without changing the flavor or color of food. Fail-safe weight control of internal pressure without the need for constantly monitoring and calibrating a pressure gauge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you do a second layer of 1/2 pint jars 2 double the capacity
Answer:	No. I tried stacking 2 pint jars, one on top of the other and it was an inch and a half above the rim of the canner. To bad the designers did not consider making the canner a little taller.
Question:	What is this made of
Answer:	The lid looks like either polished aluminum or stainless steel. The surface of the pot itself is concealed by an anodized surface - whatever that is.
Question:	Can this be used on a glass top stove
Answer:	I'm guessing you can. Unless you have to use special types of pans for glass top stoves.
Question:	How many quart size jars does this hold
Answer:	4 quart jars, or 7 pint jars. I like it because it can process and cool down much faster than my bigger 22 pint canner. So much so, you can have another batch going and be done quicker than using a larger canner.

Product description

Granite Ware has all the canning products, tools and accessories to do it safely and successfully. The Granite Ware 20-quart Pressure Canner and Pressure Cooker/Steamer is a professional-quality tool, UL-listed, and made of hard anodized aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a locking stainless steel lid. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, and comes with folding handles for easy raising and lowering. The rack holds up to 7 one-quart jars, 8 one-pint jars or 24 half-pint jars. The steamer insert fits into the stepped portion of the vessel about 1/3 the way up from the bottom to hold foods out of the cooking liquid and can handle all your large capacity steaming needs – for tamales, seafood, pulled pork, pot roast, ribs, and more. The pressure canner achieves the high temperature required for safely processing foods with the USDA endorsing it as the only safe method for canning meats, poultry, and low-acid vegetables. It can also be used as a large pressure cooker for any meal that needs to come together quickly. This Granite Ware pressure cooker preserves flavor and nutrients, tenderizes tough cuts of meat, and cooks many foods in one-third to one-tenth the time compared to traditional methods, and is large enough to create family-sized meals with ease. The unit features a pop-up pressure indicator, locking the lid in place. It cannot be opened while the canner is pressurized, even if there is just one psi of pressure. The vent pipe is located in the center of the lid and if it fails or clogs, there is an additional black capped safety valve set to go off and a second all metal safety valve will exhaust residual pressure while sounding a whistling alarm. The sturdy lid locks in place during canning or cooking with the lid gasket sealing ring forming a pressure tight seal between the body of the canner and the cover during use. The Granite Ware pressure canner, steamer, and cooker uses the UL-recommended adjustable 3-piece pressure regulator system. The pressure regulator is calibrated for three different pressure levels at 5 psi, 10 psi and 15 psi, which is ideal for canning at different altitudes. Includes Canning Jar Rack and Steamer Trivet (canning jars are not included).

• USDA recommends pressure canning as the only method for canning meats, poultry and low-acid vegetables
• Granite Ware Pressure Canner features heavy gauge hard anodized aluminum for strength and will not rust or stain
• Adjustable 3- piece pressure regulator system calibrated at 5, 10 and 15 psi

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product have a gasket
Answer:	Yes, there is a gasket around the inside of the lid. There is also a small O-ring on the release valve. The product is well made.
Question:	We have a smooth cooktop and can only use certain pots and pans and am wondering if this is okay to use? My old pressure cooker says not to use it on smooth cooktops so need to find another one that will work
Answer:	Hmmm, I have a gas range, but I know smooth cooktops (aka glass top range) pose an issue for canning, particularly for pressure cooker canning. As I'm sure you know, pressure canning uses a higher heat level for foods that are lower in acidity, else the bacteria are not killed. My understanding is that a lot (but not all) of glass top ranges automatically shut off at higher temperatures, such as those involved in pressure canning. That shut off feature protects the stovetop from cracking, but it keeps the temperature too low for pressure canning. I did a little investigating, so try this website to learn if your range is described under the section titled "Guidance Specific to Certain Stoves". Here's the url: http://www.pickyourown.org/cannings4glasstop.htm.Hope this helps.
Question:	I just bought this and when it arrived I realized it does not have a pressure gauge? How are you supposed to know what pressure you are at
Answer:	The ad copy says it is a weighted canner. Read your canning book/recipe and it will tell you the weight and how long to pressure can your recipe. For example, and this is an example, the recipe might say: Pressure cook peaches at 15 lbs. for 25 minutes at 3,000 feet elevation Hope this helps!
Question:	Will this work with an induction cooktop? If not, who makes one similar in size and price. Maybe I'll have to get a manufacturer to make them for me
Answer:	Even though a magnet won't stick to this, you can buy an induction adapter plate which gets used kinda like a coaster for the pot. Instead of the pot getting hot by itself, the adapter gets hot and transfers that heat to the cooker. do a search here for induction adapter.

User questions & answers

Question:	can this be used on glass top stove
Answer:	Taken from Granite Wares Website: •Jar rack holds 7 qt jars, 8 pint jars or 24 one-half pint jars (jars not included
Question:	How many quart jars does this hold
Answer:	The handle is solid metal, not sure if it's iron. The lock is plastic and you have to make sure it locks but when it does, it's solid.
Question:	How many quart jars does this hold
Answer:	I weighed it on a digital scale and it ranges from just over 8 pounds to just over 40 pounds. The individual adjustable weights are not exactly 5 pounds each. Some are a little less than 5 pounds and some are a little more than 5 pounds. You can probably tell from the picture that they are not all the same size.
Question:	How many quart jars does this hold
Answer:	Yes. I didn't see the video but yes, bend knees on the down and straighten then push hips forward SLIGHTLY at the top

User questions & answers

Question:	I've never canned before, but I wanted to try it out this summer. Is the 9-piece kit a good one to start out with
Answer:	up to 7 quart jars, up to 12 1/2 pt jars
Question:	what is a blancher
Answer:	No, the metal would react to the soup ingredients and affect the taste. You possibly could make a broth or broth based soup, but I wouldn't.
Question:	Does the 12-piece set nest all together? Space is limited in my kitchen, so I only have room for the canner. Hopefully the blancher/lid fits inside
Answer:	The pot from the bottom to the top of the handle is 9 5/16th inches, the pot alone is 7 and 9/16th inches. I just measured it, twice.
Question:	How many quart jars can be canned at one time in this canner
Answer:	I do not believe that this pot is recommended for a glass top stove. However, it does have a smooth bottom and I have used mine several times on a glass top stove without any problems.
Question:	can this be used to make soups
Answer:	I have a regular electric stove with coils - although the canner is larger than the coils, I have used it as well as one I wore out for years. You just center the canner over the coil. I don't know how useful one would be that was as small as a burner on regular stoves, wouldn't hold many jars.
Question:	How tall is this pot please
Answer:	I’ve used it on my old (1995? - 2nd owner) glass top range. To minimize the risk of the glass cracking, I placed a metal spiral (made from a coat hanger) under the pot. Although the glass was already somewhat scratched up I was careful to lift the pot to avoid scraping. It may have taken longer to reach rocking temp but it worked out fine.
Question:	Does this pot has a smooth bottom for use on a glasstop electric stove
Answer:	•Jar rack holds 7 qt jars, 8 pint jars or 24 one-half pint jars (jars not included
Question:	What is the diameter (the bottom) of this canner? I have a large canner that is really too big for the burner on my stove
Answer:	•Jar rack holds 7 qt jars, 8 pint jars or 24 one-half pint jars (jars not included

Product description

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for low-acid foods. Doubles as a boiling water canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa in pint and half pint jars. Also handy as a large capacity pressure cooker. Constructed of warp-resistant, heavy-gauge aluminum for fast, even heating. Works on regular and smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures. This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes. Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. 23-Quart liquid capacity (21.8 liters).

The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. The Presto 23-quart pressure canner is more than adequate for any home canning needs. It's a professional-quality tool, made of heavy-duty aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a strong-lock steel lid. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, so that liquid can circulate underneath. And it can do double duty as a large pressure cooker. It's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor.

The sturdy lid locks down during canning or cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. The pressure dial gauge gives an accurate reading so that pressure can be kept constant during canning. This pressure canner is also a cooker that's useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding or Brown Bread! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.

Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The lid of the Presto 23-quart pressure canner is not immersible. In addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The dial gauge is delicate; detailed care instructions are found in the accompanying booklet. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 14 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 15-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

User questions & answers

Question:	how pressure is regulated
Answer:	I am not 100% sure, but I think they are made in Wisconsin, USA. Hope this helps. Suz
Question:	Can this canner be safely used on a glass-surface range? If so, what is the smallest burner on which it can be safely used
Answer:	There was a time when canning using pressure cookers was deemed a safe method of preserving. However, since 2006 Presto has not provided information for canning in pressure cookers. The information used to support canning in pressure cookers was based on research done in the late 1970's. The current recommendation from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates that to pressure can you will need to use a vessel that is specially a pressure canner, which holds at minimum four quart-size jars. Note that pressure canners are generally 12-quart size or larger.

Question:	How many qt jars can be canned in this pressusre canner
Answer:	Respectfully, any time I've ever had problems over the decades with beans not cooking evenly it was invariably due to a batch of mixed old AND new beans. This happens more than you might think, and unfortunately a recent purchase of mine of small red beans in 25 lb. bulk are proving to be exactly that. Soaking an extra couple of hours seems to help a little (10 hours instead of 8) and then bringing to full heat and pressure a little more slowly, then pressure cooking one extra minute than you normally would. All those things together will help when old and new beans have been mixed together.

User questions & answers

Question:	WILL THIS COOKER/CANNER HOLD 1/2 GAL JARS? HOW MANY
Answer:	Contact Ball directly. My best advise.
Question:	does it come with a wire rack
Answer:	This canner can be used for fruits, tomatoes (not low-acid), jams, jellies, pickes and other preservative. Absolutely no vegetables like carrots or beans, meats, poultry and seafood. Anything you can with a boiling bath canner can be used with this canner. It holds 7 quart jars. If you would can carrots or beans, they are low-acid vegetables, they most likely be hazardous to your health because the canner does not get "hot" enough to control bacteria from growing in the jars.
Question:	is it safe on electric stove
Answer:	No. It is for water bath canning only.
Question:	for those who have a glass top, and you own the 15qt & up pressure canner, does it work ok with the eye being smaller than the bottom
Answer:	It's a water bath canner not a pressure canner....only items you can water bath

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the entire unit stainless including the inside
Answer:	there is a gauge in middle along with a button (in front on picture) when the steams starts coming out of the hole where the weight goes (the black piece next to gauge) you time it for 10 mins. then put the weight on and the pressure starts to build up. Once the pressure gauge reads 10 you lower heat on stove to keep the pressure steady at 10 then start to time (usually anywhere from 10-45 mins). When you are done turn heat off and wait until the gauge is at 0 and the front button goes down. Then slowly twist lid and remove by lifting the cover (tilting the back side first so steam doesn't burn your face).
Question:	Does it come in 8-quart size? I love this pressure cooker but 6.3-Q is small for our family
Answer:	The issue people have with using large vessels on glass top ranges is that if the vessel is larger than the burner ring, it could transfer heat past the area where the glass has been properly tempered for high heat (outside of the burner ring). This could cause a failure in the glass top surface. I would check with your range mfg as well as inly cook in a burner that is the same diameter as the vessel you're using.
Question:	Wow,.only 1 bad 1 star review. Is this that good? the Fagor which is highly recommended by Americas test kitchen has lots of 1 star reviews
Answer:	I would not put in more than 9 regular mouth pint jars per level, for a total of 18 jars. When you put in 10/level the jars get wedged in and there's a risk of jars cracking, based on my experience. I've been canning for 50+ years and am on my third 23-quart pressure canner just my opinion.
Question:	I'm debating whether this one or T-fal P4500734 Clipso Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker... Any opinion
Answer:	7 quarts jars. 10 regular mouth pints jars. I currently today have 20 pints of pork canning (i have an additional metal plate like the one that goes on the bottom ) 10 pints on the bottom and 10 on the top rack. You can not double stack quarts. This is the best canner I have owned

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this set dishwasher safe
Answer:	Yes it is. I did not put the magnetic lid lifter in the dishwasher as some magnets will rust. Also, top shelf only!
Question:	The title says "6 piece" and yet the list only includes 5 items - jar lifter, lid lifter, funnel, lid wrench & tongs. Is there a sixth piece
Answer:	Hi. There are 6 pcs. Here is what is included: 1-Vinyl Coated Jar Wrench, 2-Vinyl Coated Jar Lifter, 3-Extra Wide Mouth Canning Funnel, 4-Bubble Popper/Measurer, 5-Vinyl Coated Tongs, 6-Magnetic Lid Lifter
Question:	Does this set contain the exact same Norpro lifter identified as the Norpro 600 lifter
Answer:	Yes it looks the same as the one in the set box
Question:	Can these items be sterilized
Answer:	If this is made the same as my set (which is at least 15 years old) this is stainless steel with a vinyl coating and can be sterilized. If you can't sterilize your equipment then you run the risk of contaminating your product. The funnel can also be sterilized.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it possible to use this canner on a ceramic electric cooker
Answer:	Yes, it's possible. Put your canner on the cold burner, then turn it on. I have done it this way for 10 years on mine.
Question:	I just want to pressure cook meats for speed, moisture, and flavor verses microwave and not can. Is this cooker suitable for that? Thanks
Answer:	Not until I made the mistake of trying to can tomatoes in a Mirror pressure *cooker* that had been my grandmother's did I realized there is very much a difference between pressure cookers and pressure canners. This product is specifically for canning. While it would not necessarily be dangerous to cook meats in this 22 quart pressure canner, it is too big to be practical for that purpose. Seriously, this thing is huge. Nearly 1.5 feet deep.The one that had been my grandmother's (believe it was 12 or 16 quart) was suitable for the type of cooking you describe. Looking at the price differences, I understand your interest in this one as it is significantly cheaper. If you are going to make the investment for you stated purpose, however, I would stick with either the 8qt or 16qt. These are the sizes suitable for your cooking needs.It is worth noting: When I attempted to can tomatoes in a pressure cooker, several of the jars exploded and warped the pan, ruining it. The fact that every single safety feature worked and kept this from hurting anyone or damaging my kitchen is why I didn't hesitate to purchase a Mirro product again. Extremely satisfied with that decision after one long summer of canning.
Question:	Does this canner have a gasket that can wear out
Answer:	Mirro 92122A uses Gasket #92516. Mirro 92122 uses gasket # 92512 and are available at this link: http://www.pressurecooker-outlet.com/Mirro-Pressure-Cooker-And-Canner-Gaskets.htm
Question:	can you can 1/2 gallon jars in this
Answer:	I wouldn't. All of the USDA canning bulletins and the authors of "Putting Food By" say not to use anything larger than a quart jar. From what I understand, the temperature inside the food wouldn't be able to reach 240 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature required to kill the various spoilage organisms. I don't think there's quite enough room at the top of the canner to let the pressurized steam circulate properly. On the other hand, those half-gallon jars are great for storing pantry items, such as flour and pasta. Place the dry goods in your freezer for a couple of days, pour them into the jars and put a bay leaf inside before you close the lid. This keeps grain moths away from your pantry items. Hehe. I'm planning on doing a batch of beets tomorrow morning. This is a good unit that I couldn't find in any of the hardware stores here for less than $131. I hope you buy one!
