Canners and Other Equipment

 

McSunley 21.5 quart Water Bath Canner, Stainless Steel

 

Home Canning Kits #1

1. This is a stainless steel better version of the canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce.

Complete Water Bath Canning Package / Ball Home Canning Basics Kit. Includes:
  • 21 Quart Waterbath Canner,
  • Canning Jar Rack,

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.

Blake's rating: long lasting, well built.  I have two of these!

    Canner for Glass and Ceramic Stoves

    If you have a glass or ceramic stovetop, you may have found that it is impossible to find a canner for you stove!  Look on this page!

    Pressure canners!

    If you want to can low-acid foods such as red meats, sea food, poultry, milk, and all fresh vegetables with the exception of most tomatoes,  you will need a Pressure Canner.  These foods  fit into the low acid group since they have an acidity, or pH level, of 4.6 or greater. The temperature which must be reached and maintained (for a specified amount of time) to kill the bacteria is 240 F. Pressure canning is the only canning method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and fish. Ordinary water bath canners can only reach 212 F and cannot to kill the types of bacteria that will grow in low acid foods. This temperature can be reached only by creating steam under pressure as achieved in quality pressure canners.

    There are several manufacturers of pressure canners.  The two leading ones are Presto and All American (Wisconsin Aluminum). They are more expensive than water bath canners, but they are extremely well built - I bought mine in 1988 and it still looks and works like new!

    If you're new to pressure canning, see this page for a complete description of how pressure canners work, why they're better, and step-by-step directions on how to use one!
