#1 - Home Canning Kit
This is the
canner and complete kit - everything you need in one package. It is
also the same make and model that my family has used for 3
generations - my grandmother made everything from applesauce to jams
and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce with it!

#2 - SMALL SIZE 12 quart Granite Ware Enamel on Steel Canning KitA good, well made, basic water bath canner, but it is a very small size. The manufacturer does not recommend this canner for glass or ceramic top stoves as it does not have a flat bottom. However, our experience is that these water-bath canners work fine on "most" flat top stoves. See my page about using a glass or ceramic stovetop for canning.

#3 - McSunley Stainless Steel Home Canning KitsThe same as the kit above, but in stainless steel. In addition to being a great canner, it is an excellent large cooking pot. Our experience is that these flat-bottomed water-bath canners work fine on "most" flat top stoves. See my page about using a glass or ceramic stovetop for canning.
Blake's rating: long lasting, well built. I have two of these!
|
#4 - Home Canning Kits - LargerThis is the same as the one above, except larger - 21 quarts. This means it holds 7 quart jars. The manufacturer does not recommend the Water Bath Canner Package for glass or ceramic top stoves as it does not have a flat bottom. However, our experience is that these canners work fine on "most" flat top stoves. A stove with a large burner size is recommended.
Blake's rating: Same model as the #1, just wider to hold 2 more jars,
long lasting, well built |

See here for Ball Elite Stainless steel water bath canneron Amazon |
#5 Ball Elite Stainless steel water bath cannerMade of stainless steel, so it should last a lifetime - it would also make a great pot to cook applesauce. I have one of these. Heat resistant silicone handles protect your hands and ensure a secure grip. Dual steam vents on the lid prevent fogging so you can see inside. Corrosion resistant rack holds jars of various sizes. 21-quart size. Stainless steel. Hand wash. |

Extra tall stainless steel (OR aluminum) canning potIf you have found that the standard canning pots boil over and spill hot water because you have to fill them so full to ensure that quart jars are covered by 1 to 2 inches of water, then here is the solution. This pot is not called a canner, but it works perfectly well as one. The rack from your old canner will fit inside it (I don't use the perforated plate that you see in the photo - it doesn't seat well with the weight of 7 quart jars on it . And because it is 32 quarts in volume rather than 21, the water returns to a boil faster after you put the jars in it. This pot adds to safety and reduces mess. And, of course, you can use this as a steamer pot for seafood and other foods, too!This pot is usually available online - but sometimes they run out - it is a 32-Quart Aluminum Tamale and Steamer Pot with Lid. If this brand isn't available, the Bayou brand turkey fryer pots are almost identical, just 4 quarts larger in volume.And then you can use your existing canning rack or get one here. |
