Review: Great product and fluff in this review! - It took me a year of going back and forth on do I need this or do I just want this, do I want to spend that kind of money, is it really worth the money, will I use it enough to justify getting it, going on and on and on. I received it in the mail yesterday and used it immediately. I am here to tell you YES it is worth the money! I should have ordered it a lot sooner! It is worth every cent! I love that it has a temperature indicator knob to take the guess work out of letting you know when the water is up to the right temperature and when to start timing after you have added your jars. I like the glass lid that allows you to see what's going on inside the pot at all times. It's lightweight and easy to handle. The instructions are very clear and precise. I like that it's not only a water bath canner but a steam canner as well. As for the "big yellow sticker" that many of the other reviews complained about, the makers of this product must have listed because mine did not come with one. Just goes to show the company cares about it's customers. Two thumbs up for them. I used it twice yesterday and my answer is YES I am very glad I went ahead and got it. It works great with our glass top stove, it has a temperature indicator knob, it has a glass lid, it has a stock pot capacity of 20 quarts, and it's a water bath canner and a steam bath canner. I think it's worth it. When I attempted to use the galvanized canners the racks always rusted making the water rusty and the canner itself was not good or recommended for our stove. So that's my take on this item.
Review: Dual choice canning pot. - You can use this pot to do waterbath or steam canning. I've always used the waterbath method when canning my veggies but now I love the steam method. Less water is needed, just 2 quarts, so it heats up faster. The dial on the lid, once calculated for your altitude, lets you know when to start the processing time. Love it. Made good and works great.

## Features

- WORKS ON ANY COOKTOP: Induction range compatible and safe for smooth top ranges. Flat clad bottom for even heating on any cooktop.
- STEAM OR WATER BATH CANNING: The double-sided stainless steel canning rack can be used for traditional water bath canning or flipped over to be used for steam canning.
- NO GUESSWORK TEMPERATURE INDICATOR: Built-in temperature indicator within the knob of the tempered glass lid makes timing easier. Simply start timing your canning job when the needle reaches the appropriate mark.
- LARGE CAPACITY POT: Capable of handling up to 20 quarts of liquid and room enough for 8 pint or 7 quart jars when canning.
- DURABLE CONSTRUCTION WITH 5-YEAR WARRANTY: Built to last, our canner is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty, ensuring your peace of mind and long-term satisfaction with your purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of this canner?**
A: This canner is 11.5 inches across the base.  Inside height is 9", not including the lid.  The National Center for Home Canning (University of Georgia) states the canner bottom should not exceed the diameter of the burner by more than 2"; they offer an excellent book "So Easy to Preserve" with tested recipes and methods for safe home canning.  Jar capacity depends on the size of jars (1/2 pint, pint and quarts).  I've used this canner to process jams and pickles - the only complaint I have is when processing quarts the lid allows boiling hot water to "spit" out around the lid.  Last night I had to constantly monitor and soak up hot water that landed on the kitchen floor and range top.  Since I have a glass top range I inspected the canner thoroughly upon arrival, feeling the bottom for any imperfections - I felt a tiny "burr" which I managed to rub out using fine emery cloth.

**Q: Can this be used for green beans? Is it a pressure canner or not?**
A: No, it is not a pressure canner!!   Just because some old timers canned their beans this way (are they even remembering correctly?)  and got away with it doesn’t mean you will do it without contracting the very deadly botulism spores.  Why would anyone take the chance of feeding that to their family?  Green beans MUST be pressure canned.  This is a water bath and steam canner.  The only vegetable you can water bath is tomatoes,mand you have to add a set amount of bottled (NOT FRESH) lemon juice to those to get the proper level of acidity.  We live in a different world than our grandparents and few people grow their own vegetables.  You don’t know where yours came from and who picked them.  Rogue canning is extremely dangerous.

**Q: How can I remove the sticker glue residue?**
A: If you put peanut butter on any glue it will remove it. 
Even on windows that have the paper glue on stickers. 
Put it on and let it set for about 10 minutes and wipe it off.
Clean the area with vinegar or window cleaner.
Zap and it's gone.

**Q: Can I can green beans in a induction canner on a gas stove?**
A: This canner that is pictured cannot work for green beans since green beans is a low acid food. You need a pressure canner for green beans cause you need high pressure. Your question about an induction canner on a gas stove is ok I believe. This is what I found online that might answer your question: Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish. Keep scrolling down...

Works on gas, electric, smooth-top, and induction ranges.* Constructed of heavy-gauge polished aluminum with a stainless steel-clad base for fast, even heating.

Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced.

Doubles as water bath canners for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Pot for Canning
*by K***E on October 24, 2023*

We were frustrated with the pot we were using as it didn’t heat consistently and vibrated around when we were cooking with it. New pot is much better quality, nice heavy flat bottom so it makes good contact with the stove top and heats up much faster than our old pot. Good quality, heavy construction including the top, easy to clean, and very functional. Overall construction, functionality, and quality make this a good purchase. Happy with it so far. Made canning a much easier and time consuming job.
