#1 - Granite Ware 8 piece 21.5 Quart 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!
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.

#2 - McSunley Stainless Steel 21.5 Quart Canning KitA good, well made, stainless steel water bath canner, comes a clear lid and rack. It has a flat bottom for glass stove tops, but the manufacturer does not recommend this canner for induction stove tops. See my page about using a glass or ceramic stovetop for canning.
Blake's rating: gets great reviews online!

#3 - Granite Ware Home Canning KitsThe same as the kit above, but without the jars, jar lids, Ball Blue Book and coupons. There is a separate kit of supplies further down the page. 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.
Blake's rating: long lasting, well built. I have two of these!
|
#4 - Home Canning Kits - Larger sizeThis is the same as the one above, except larger - 33 quarts. This means it holds 9 quart jars instead of 7. The manufacturer does not recommend the Jumbo 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 the Ball Elite Stainless steel water bath canner on 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 canning potIIf 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. |

Canning Accessories Kits - everything BUT the pot, flat rackIf you already have a 10 qt or larger pot, and you only made a few jars at a time, this may meet your needs. This is also perfect for canning small jars, like the 4oz, 8 oz and pint jars that can slip through the standard canning racks. Blake's rating: Great accessory kit!
