Customer Review: Can at home
Summary: 4 Stars
The canner is great and light weight and the shelf helps a lot. The shipping was considerably longer than it was quoted.Customer Review: Can do!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Granite Ware 21-Quart Covered Preserving Canner with Rack is a light-weight, lidded pot with a steel canning rack. As promised, the rack holds seven quart jars and with a little ingenuity, it can hold nine pint jars.
This canner is larger than most burners and may cause stovetop surface stains when used for extended periods. It cleans easily, holds the temperature and seems well constructed for such an inexpensive piece.
The graphic on the Amazon product page shows the canner with the rack lifted up and supported by the edge of pot. I was a tad nervous about lifting seven filled quart jars but the rack, though light-weight, was up to the task.
The only issue I have is with the height. To immerse seven one-quart jars with two inches of water above the lids means splashing or overflow will happen. I found no work-around for this problem but, for someone like me whose needs are limited (about 100 jars per season) this canner is a great addition.
If storage space was limited in this household, I would have an additional issue with the size of the canner. That's not a problem for me but it could be a consideration.
For those considering purchasing this as a stockpot as well as a canner, look elsewhere. The steel and enamel coating are too thin for anything beyond boiling water.
I am glad I made this purchase, it suits our purposes well.

I needed more than one canner and this was priced just right. It's as nice as my old canner.Customer Review: Canner

Having a canner is like stepping back in time, but well worth all of your efforts in the end. This canner is a quality product, evenly coated with enamel. The rack, included, seems as though it's sturdy and of good construction.Customer Review: Canning 101

I was surprised at how large the canner is. When it is not in use I store my canning accessories inside it so that I have everything in one place.
