  • So far this Water Bath Canner is working great.
Style: New Bath Canner
I read all the reviews before buying and the only negatives seemed minor so I decided to give it a try. I have a gas stove and water bath canning on my stove really heats up my kitchen so I was looking for a better option. The instructions are very few and very easy to understand. The negative comments I noticed from others were just a few. I have a bit of experience with hot bath canning so I'm comfortable with some shortcuts I'm taking. If you are new to water bath canning, I'd recommend you follow all guidelines and instructions given for this canner. 1. Not being able to skip the step to heat jars when not needed. For what I have done I needed to heat jars so that wasn't an issue however I did find that it seems to go above and beyond the heat level needed before filling. I start taking my jars out when I feel they are hot enough to fill so by the time the canner works thru this cycle I normally have my jars full and back in the pot ready to move on the Processing. If you are cold packing your jars and then needing to process I really don't have any suggestions. 2. Setting the timer for the amount of processing time. Yes you do have to hit the plus sign alot of times especially if you need longer processing times but really this takes less than a minute. It would have been nice if the plus sign advanced to 5 minute increments because that would have worked perfectly but still no big deal. Also if you fail to press next after setting the time the canner will turn off and you have to start over:( This is a bit frustrating cause it then has to work thru hitting jars before moving on to processing but since water is already hot this moves thru pretty quickly 3. I love that once Jars are filled and I set the processing time (and press next) I truly can walk away and not baby sit like I do boiling water on the stove top. 4. I love the spout for draining water but I find when I'm doing a lot of canning I just leave the water in the pot with lid on for the next day's canning job. 5. I think I'll also enjoy this pot to make big batches of sauces, soups and stews and reducing the use of my gas top stove to keep my kitchen cooler:) ... show more

  • Best Canning Purchase
Style: New Bath Canner
I only make jams, and I have a disability, so man handling a giant canner full of water is not great. I also have put off replacing my old stove because I can, and didn't want to use a full canner on a glass top. I bought this when it went on sale, and have used it twice. I checked a trial run, and it keeps perfect temp. The automated features were super nice. It prepped my jars, and kept them at temp. I made marmalade once and didn't take into account how long it takes to prep the orange peels, but the canner kept those jars at the right temp the whole time. It did beep occasionally to let me know it was up to temp, but that wasn't a problem for me. After filling jars I just set the controls. I had to read the manual becuase I kept accidentally hitting the wrong thing, but that's user error. Both times, it just worked perfectly. It timed it, and went through the process with out any issues. I have not tried the steaming option, but I was thinking of making either a big batch of tamales, or bao buns, to test that. My trial run on the steam side worked well enough, so that means I now have the biggest steamer ever. Break down is so much easier. I can just drain it out of the spout to get the water out. It sits perfectly fine on the counter by the sink. This product also means I can replace my old stove with a glass top one now. I was waiting because canning jam on a glass top made me nervous. Now I don't have to use the stove top for it. The one thing I was concerned about is the spout. It sticks out and I didn't want an accident in the cupboard to happen. I decided to store it in its box, so problem solved. ... show more

Style: New Bath Canner
This is one of the best inventions for a hot water bath canner. It’s electric, I put it right by the sink so when I’m done can I just flip up the little nozzle to drain out all the hot water, no dumping anything out. It is easy to clean. Is very sturdy, for processing time, it has a timer on it that when it is done processing, it shuts off so you’re not having to stay there and babysit it. The heating is determined by the thermometer that is naturally built in and knows already how hot the water needs to be. I think everybody needs one of these. ... show more

  • Great canner
Style: New Bath Canner
Love this canner! Absolutely fool proof and easy to use. Eliminates the need for the stove and makes canning almost hands off. I love the fact that it starts the timer automatically once the water starts boiling after putting the filled jars in the canner. It also is quite big and can hold lots of jars, even the quarts. ... show more

  • Worth every penny
Style: New Bath Canner
This made canning season a breeze and freed up my stove to cook multiple batches of jams, pie filling, etc at one time. I love the spigot feature that allows you to drain the water directly into the sink. Greatly reduced the stresss of keeping track of how long jars have been processing and if they're staying hot enough without the pot boiling over accidentally. The best part about this is that it didn't heat up my kitchen the way using a large canning pot on my stove does. PLUS zero stress about having a heavy pot of water on my glass top electric stove. I purchased it on sale but honestly, it would be worth every penny even if I paid full price. Only negative part was that the box had been smashed at some point during the shipping/delivery process and the lid was slightly dented/bent. Not enough to affect the performance and it still rested on top of the pot correctly. ... show more

  • Where Have You Been All My Life??? Where Have You Been All My Life???
Style: New Bath Canner
Wow, and Wow again. I have been canning for almost my whole life. I grew up on a farm and my grandmother and my mother and aunts all taught me how to can. It was what we did. You put by the things you grew and harvested. Whether it was water bath canning or pressure canning, we canned everything we could to make sure we had food throughout the year. Now onto this new canner. OK, it takes a little time to read the directions, but once you do a batch, you will get into the swing of it, and it makes it pretty easy to do a few more things at one time. I had a small amount of pear honey left to make a nice run, and thought this would be the perfect time to try it out. It worked beautifully and I could not be more pleased. A little pricey I admit, but this thing is not just a canner. You can steam in it, you can boil pasta in it, it holds a lot and with that spigot, it makes it easier to drain the water than having to let it completely cool and then carry it over to the stove, something that is not getting any easier as I get older. Now the big question will be, where do I store it. ... show more

  • Love the idea, not thrilled with the execution.
Style: New Bath Canner
Purchased this electric canner so I could waterbath can but free up stove space. This electric canner actually worked very well and I had 100% success in jar seals. The automatic canning process worked as expected and was faster than canning on the stove. Just be sure to start with warm (or hot if hot packing jars) water for faster heating and lower overall preheating times. When cleaning, you have to be very careful with the drain spigot so it doesn't get knocked around. I did not use the spigot to drain the water because using this canner next to the kitchen sink is not practical. I may see if I can find a hose that will fit on the end of the spigot that will reach to the sink or down to a bucket on the floor. Either way I have some flexibility with the spigot. Especially if I use this appliance for coffee or drinks for gatherings or as a streamer, etc. My issues with this electric canner are as follows. I'll start with the control panel. It was clearly designed by someone who has limited knowledge about home canning. First, when canning, it should give the option of preheating jars or not. Instead it forces the preheat jar option. That function is useful as a seperate option but if I'm cold packing food, I don't always need to heat the jars first so being forced to go through this step is unnecessary. Especially since the process of canning produce will also sterilize the jars. I always start with freshly cleaned jars and I often sanitize and preheat my jars in the oven. That way I'm not trying to navigate ooen hot jars filled with hot water. Second, to move from one process to the next you have to keep pressing 'next'. It's ok sometimes but it's mostly annoying. Preheat jars, next, fill jars, next, process jars, next, next, enter time. next. And if you don't press next within a few seconds the menu goes to 'end' and you gave to start the cycle all over again. Including the preheating jars cycle that you just went through unnecessarily. Third, the plus ➕️ and minus ➖️ buttons do not work well. I find that I have to press them repeatedly to get them to work. They aren't really buttons since the control panel is flat except for the selection button. They are also hard to see in regular daylight. Fourth, when selecting a process, it starts with a low temperature and you keep turning the knobs through all the temperature options and keep turning to get to the preheat jars and canning function. The cooking options and the canning functions should be separated. Seperate knobs or something. But definitely independent functions. Overall, I like the canner functionality and will keep it. I'll deal with the horrible control panel and likely curse it every time I use it. ... show more

  • So much easier than stovetop canning!
Style: New Bath Canner
This canner has made water bath canning so much simplier and alot less heat in the house!! No more hauling big pots of water of water to the stove or tying up my stove. It is so simple to use. Not only does it seal your jars but it has a preheat jars function that saves so much time. The built in spout is a life savor when it comes to draining the hot water. The only drawback is it is a bit slower to heat up but totally worth it for the convenience and cooler kitchen. I actually have used mine outside. I love it. I love the stainless steel look of the canner. It has a heavy base so it is sturdy so you dont have to worry about it being tipped over. It is quiet. An absolute game changer when it comes to canning! ... show more
