I have been canning for 20 years, I have had this canner system for 15 and I will not ever go back to boiling water bath canning ever again. This canner is not meant to replace a pressure canner for low acid foods. It is a shallow pan with a rack and a large lid. The shallow pan is filled with water and boiled, the rack fits over the boiling water and the jars are put on the rack (7 quarts at a time). When the water boils, it creates steam- steam is at least 212 degree water- steam can actually get hotter than boiling water. When the steam is at a certain level (in the instructions) you begin timing your jars. The reason that this is so easy is that it doesn't take 20 minutes after you put your jars into the rack just to come back to a boil, thus saving a lot of time. I highly recommend this product. I just made salsa and it took me 30 minutes for 14 jars- In a traditional pot it would have taken at least 2 hours. That is the difference!

Steam canning for high-acid foods works very well, Our tomatoes have lasted over 10 years on the shelf by using this product. This product is well designed and is very affordable. I have used this product for over 10 years. I had to buy a new one because I made the mistake of boiling all the water out and I damaged my old one by doing so. I am very happy this product is still available and I expect to get more than 10 years out of the one I just purchased.

This canner is so much better than the old fashioned water bath canners.
Lighter and uses less water, heats up very quick and is so simple to use. It holds the same amount of jars as the traditional water bath canner. There is no difference in processing times and your product turns out just the same.
I can more now because the back to basic canner makes it much quicker!



5 out of 5 stars This Steamer is Jammin'   May 8, 2010

I purchased the steam canner for jams and jellies. It is GREAT!!
I would not use it for low acid foods like meat or vegetables.
Fast and easy, I was done making 20 8-ounce jars of strawberry jam in 1.5 hours.
Gets up to steam quick and batch changing is fast and easy without a single cracked jar.
I still use the pressure canner for my low-acid preserving.

I have used a steam canner for over 15 years and have had excellent results. It is much easier and takes less time--simply because there is less water to heat than with a conventional water bath canner. The results have been excellent. I have had no problems at all. Anything I would consider using a water bath canner for I would use the steam canner for. Last season I used it to make spaghetti sauce, salsa and tomato soup. Although this is not the steam canner I have, it is the same style and concept. This one looks even nicer than mine. I have recently recommended it to a friend/neighbor who does tons of canning and I expect to hear that she really likes it as well when she begins using it.
