Holds alot. Tools that come with it are well made too. No leaks when boiling and super easy to clean. Worth the money. The stainless steel design really sets this one apart from the competition.

Beautiful sturdy canner that I’m looking forward to many years of canning.

This is a good ole fashioned canning kettle like my mom and grandmother used. I tried to use a large stock pot to can peppers and after struggling with the process I decided a kettle and the rack would make canning easier and it definitely does. Perfect size and it comes with all the tools you need for safe handling of hot jars. Highly recommend…you can’t go wrong for the price and quality is excellent.

I considered buying just the canner but decided to purchase the whole set. I am very pleased that I did. All of the elements are of high quality and all are part of making canning easier and safer. Both my mother and my grandmother canned with one of these and now it it my turn. When I retired last year I promised myself I would put food up this summer. It has been 50 years since I canned with my mother and grandmother but with this great black pot it all came back. I cannot promise everyone will remember canning if you get this pot but if you remember someone else canning or if you canned yourself in the past, take it up again. The cost of the pot is easily amortized across the savings on food. I thought perhaps I would just make do with what I had, and I considered buying just the pot but I am very glad I got the whole set. I have used all of the utensils and am very pleased with how sturdy they are. I had worried that they would not hold up to hard use but mine are 60 quarts in and going strong. I have also used the blanching pot to cook beets and for blanching peaches and tomatoes for easy pealing. I also use the blanching pot to keep hot water available to ladle into the big canner when I am processing a long time and the water level is going down. That way I can put hot water into the pot and not stop its boil. I have to give a gold star to the blanching pot. I was weary canning and put my pot on high to start the water boiling and did not put any water in it. When I realized it I thought for sure the pot was a goner. The paint changed color a bit but the pot survived and I turned off everything on the stove and went to take a nap! I have not used the colander but I already had a number of them.This one is nice since it does not have any handles it will fit in a smaller sink which helps with washing and the cold water bath when blanching.

Pot is too short for quart canning jars.Fine for pints.

I have always wanted to be able to can tomatoes because they are much healthier than store bought ones. I also wanted to use the fresh tomatoes grown in summer months to keep them from wasted. I did a lot of research and settled on this giant pot. I know it’s called a canner, but it’s really just a really big pot! As it turned out, it was JUST what I needed. It holds 9 pint jars and I was able to process 2 batches (18 jars) in just a few hours! The jars are beautiful and I had no problems! This canner came with everything I needed. There an internal rack, which made it feel safer, and several tools; all of which I used. This is the all inclusive package. Beware that the pot is huge, so you’ll need a place to store it AND a big burner on your stove. The website says it is better to use on a gas stove, which is what I have. I not sure about an electric stove, so you may need to look into that if you have one.

Our landscaper gave us some Heirloom tomatoes from his garden and I decided to stew some tomatoes and seasonings as a “base” for spaghetti sauce. I was able to place six (6) Wide Mouth Mason Jars each 32 oz (size) in the pot to boil prior to filling them with stewed tomatoes, of which I had enough to fill four (4) jars.After opening the box the size looked a bit small, but honestly it was perfect and I can use taller jars, depending what I’m canning and they’ll fit just fine.I’m pleased with my purchase.

Everything you need to start canning, all items store back into the pot for seasonal storage. It is light weight so I can store it up on a high shelf and out of the way between uses. I live in a area where I have a ton of options for shopping or window shopping with my amazon price check tool. After 2+ hours and 5 stores, where you will get a blank stare if you ask anyone where they keep their "canning" supplies (2 Walmarts, 1 Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and a Kitchen store) I found the funnel and the lifting tool at a 4 seasons type hardware store but, no pots. I searched my Amazon app while browsing the store and order this set based on the other reviews. With my order on the way, Prime 2 day, I had a flat of strawberries to process before they went bad. Impatient me, I used my standard pasta pot to sterilize jars for my first batch of jam and I could only boil (3) 8oz wide mouth jars at a time. It took about 2 hours to sterilize the dozen jars and lids and a full evening to complete a dozen jars of jam. My canning set arrived and I completed my second and third batches of jam very quickly, it only took 10 minutes to sterilize a dozen 8 oz. jars. I also saved time with the magnetic tool for picking up the lids with the added bonus of saving my fingers from the scalding hot water. I used regular tongs the first time to fish the tops out of the water, which is very frustrating they were not quite long enough and my pasta pot was too deep. This simple magnetic stick is the right tool for the job. Live and learn.
