Used for canning
No danger of blowing up
Takes longer than a pressure canner
It was exactly what I was looking for. I received it in a timely fashion and would buy again from Home & Beyond.
It is perfect for canning the big jars- and if you are canning at least 6 jars at a time. The accompanying rack will hold them. But if you can less,they can topple over, or the small jars- they fall thru the rack! Since youre not supposed to let the jars touch the bottom- i improvised and put a teatowel in the botton- but still- the rack was also kinda supposed to help you lift them in and out!! otherwise the pot was great!
