Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Capture the harvest's bounty at its prime for enjoyment throughout the year by canning at home. This 21-1/2-quart water-bath canning pot makes it simple to preserve jams, vegetables, fruits, sauces, and more. The unit's tall design allows an ample amount of water to cover jars (not included) for even heating and thorough sterilizing, while its removable wire rack holds up to seven quart-size jars at a time, keeping them safely off the bottom of the pot and slightly separated from one another. The rack also comes equipped with two elongated handles for safely lowering and raising jars during the canning process.
Constructed with a strong steel core and a stylishly speckled black porcelain finish, the pot delivers long-lasting high-quality performance and even heat retention, while its nonstick, nonporous surface ensures fast and easy cleanup by hand or in the dishwasher--a nice feature after a long day spent in a hot kitchen. Other highlights include a handled lid that promotes faster heat-up times, as well as looped side handles for convenient transport (use oven mitts to carry when hot). Can be used on gas or electric stove tops. Not recommended for glass stove tops” , the USA-made water-bath canner with rack measures approximately 10 by 14 by 16 inches.
Product Description
Six generations of Americans have been using Granite Ware canners to preserve fruits and vegetables. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorbs energy and evenly distributes heat to the contents. The result is a canner that heats rapidly. The canner is perfect for preserving tomatoes or fruit, processing 7 quart jars at a time. Comes with rack for easy lifting jars from canner. Granite Ware's high efficiency, quick boiling performance combined with its modest cost make it ideal for canning. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way. Can be used on gas or electric stove tops. Not recommended for glass stove tops. 21 1/2 qt capacity.

Can do!,

This review is from: Columbian Home 0707-1 Granite Ware 21-1/2-Quart Steel/Porcelain Water-Bath Canner with Rack (Kitchen)
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.

Not so good canner,

This review is from: Columbian Home 0707-1 Granite Ware 21-1/2-Quart Steel/Porcelain Water-Bath Canner with Rack (Kitchen)
The canner rack was so flimsy that it actually bent when the canning jars were being put onto the rack. The hooks for holding the rack up on the side kept giving way and allowing the jars to fall into the water before the rack was filled

Home Canner,

This review is from: Columbian Home 0707-1 Granite Ware 21-1/2-Quart Steel/Porcelain Water-Bath Canner with Rack (Kitchen)
I like the canner and have used it many times since purchasing it. The only problem is the holder that holds the canning jars. It is made such that 8 oz. and 4 oz. canning jars fall through making it difficult to lift the jars out after processing.
