User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used this on a NuWave induction cooktop
Answer:	Don't know about that but it's tough and pretty flavorless
Question:	Can the pot be used on an electric range
Answer:	There are no inner packages to the 2# pack. For the old Michael 2# would have been the equivalent of 1 sandwich, for the new Michael it will be enough to share with your family for a couple of days. Wrap in tin foil until done.
Question:	What is the height from the bottom to the first little rim/edge at the bottom of this steamer
Answer:	Hello, thank you for your interest in our product. This is sliced around 1oz. I would not consider it shaved. I hope this answers your question. Thank you
Question:	How do you steam something in this pot? Is there a rack inside or something? How would you keep from boing everything
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in our product, at this time we do not sell unsliced Pastrami through Amazon. We do sell to various Deli's, Supermarkets and Grocery Stores that may offer this option.

User questions & answers

Question:	how do you do returns
Answer:	8 Inches across the bottom. 10 1/4 across the top on the 3 quart. I don't have the 5 quart but the site says its a couple of inches larger across the top so I'd guess the bottom is also a couple of inches larger.
Question:	What is the height of the pan without the lid
Answer:	FALSE....Recipes including very acidic foods, like tomatoes and citrus juices, should not be cooked in seasoned cast iron until the cookware is highly seasoned. The high acidity of these foods will strip the seasoning and result in discoloration and metallic-tasting food.
Question:	What is the difference between the Blancher and the Pasta Pot
Answer:	The 5 qt does have a 12" lid.. the 3qt has a 10.25 lid.. the 5 qt lid does fit your skillet and other 12" lodge pans ( I have a lodge wok it also fits)
Question:	Re: basket insert. What is diameter of holes
Answer:	Shippin Weight is 15 pounds. I am guessing weight is 13 pounds. Skillet probably 10 pounds and Lid is probably 3 pounds. This is clearly a heavyweight skillet. This means, if you want to tilt it and use spatula to move something out, it is a 2 preson job, onr to tile pan and 1 to use the spatula. I use mine on glass cooktop, so am extra careful. Sometimes by finished cooking, expecially if I go throuh multiple cook empty cycles and then wash it, I feel like I have been through a workout.I haven't decided, if my wife is afraid to clean it or just considers it to heavy for her. It is really my treat. And I've never had better steaks other than in a great steakhouse, not a chain than since I bought the skillet.Let steak come to room temperature, dry if moist, heavily salt with sea salt and use equal or more coarse ground pepper. Have skillet warmed up on medium or a bit less. Toss steak in and let it sear should hear sizzling, if not, it wasn't hot enough. for 3/4" to 1" thick -- 2 minutes a side, if someone wants it more well than medium rare, take pan off heat and put lid on. until it is almost where they want it. Sit on a rack over a plate for about 10 minute rest and enjoy. Bought some marked down rib eyes that were thin, about 3/8" at Kroger last night. wife loved them because they were medium after the 4 minutes searing, 2 each side. I still enjoyed mine because tender and juicy. But I really prefer a steak I have to run to catch! Sorry for the digression!

Product description

The Granite Ware 20-Quart Pressure Cooker is a professional-quality tool, made of heavy-duty anodized aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a  strong-lock steel lid.

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!

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.

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).

• Granite Ware Pressure Canner features heavy gauge hard anodized aluminum for strength and will not rust or stain

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.

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
