McSunley 620 Medium Stainless Steel Prep N Cook Water Bath Canner, 21.5 quart, Silver

I used it for water bath canning! I bought it instead of the regular blue canners that will eventually rust and get holes. I can also use it for other purposes. Was easy to clean.

I had ordered this canner then found a cheaper one at a local store so I bought the cheaper one and tried to cancel this order. But, they said it couldn't be cancelled so I thought ok, I will not open it and just return it. But when it arrived my husband said to just keep it and I'm so glad I did! It's bigger than the cheapy I bought, holds more jars and is much more sturdy and heavy duty!!! As they say, you get what you pay for. Used this one for the first time today and I love it !! Thanks for not cancelling my order!! :)

Excelente producto

Me encantó esta de muy buen tamaño, y creo que le voy a sacar mucho provecho. Gracias

I bought this to use with my glass top stove. Living in an apartment means I don't have a choice in the type of cooktop, so while canning on a glass top stove is not ideal, it is possible. This canner is quite large. I have only used it once to can peaches in pint jars. It takes a lot of water to fill up and is quite heavy when full. Since I was using s glass top stove, it took an incredibly long time to come up to boiling point, but that is to be expected. The rack is probably my favorite part, but it is also a frustration point. The handles collapse inward when you lower the jars down. It would be nice to have some type of hool to retrieve them from the water. I had to get creative to get it lifted back out. Also, be sure to balance your jars carefully on the rack when you are starting to load it. If it gets off balance, it will tip to the side and drop the jar into the canner. I started by putting one in the center, then one in the center of each handle, and then filled in the rest. It seemed to work all right that way.
