Product Description
Six generations of Americans have been using Granite Ware canners to preserve fruits and vegetables. This mini canner is perfect for preserving jams, jellies and salsa. Holds seven pint jars. 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. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorbs energy and evenly distributes heat to the contents. 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 but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove. 11 1/2qt capacity.

I have the bigger version of the Granite Ware canner and wanted something for smaller jars, and that would fit better on my stove top. Since I don't can the larger quart sized jars this is perfect for smaller jars (especially 8 oz. 1/2 pints). Also, this size is HARD TO FIND, and the rack that goes inside is a smaller so handles smaller jars better.

Long ago I had a larger canner, one made for quart jars and the like, and the smaller jars (8 ounce jars or smaller) would tip and fall through the rack. Today, I used the smaller canner and did not have that problem. Instead the wide month 8 ounce jars fit inside the rack but it was a tight squeeze. I managed to get four jars inside the canner and I don't know if I could have managed 7 jars as stated in the leaflet. I don't blame the canning company as the canner was probably designed for the old-fashioned narrow jars (not the wide mouth type) long ago. I am sure if the traditional jars were used this canner would offer outstanding ease of use. Four stars for the tight squeeze but five stars for the ability to can without tipping jars like the previous canner.
Ease of use: Fairly easy. Ease of clean up: Outstanding as this canner fit easily into my kitchen sink and washing it was a breeze.
Update: Today I used the traditional jelly jars in the canner. They fit very nicely and preparing the jelly was a breeze. This is a very nice canner worth the money paid for it.

This is the perfect size canner for pint and smaller jars. It takes less water and heats up quickly. Works Great!

Pint Canner
I chose this canner because I seldom can food in quarts anymore. The size is right, but I wish it was maybe another inch deeper. Hopefully it will contain the boiling water OK. Read more

Great
This is an awesome size for a soup stock pot also. I use the small canner for items like jellies/jams, where I don't want to heat up a large canner for small jars. Read more

doesn't work well for pint jars, despite what it says
The blurb says 'holds 7 pint jars'. Well, it's just too short. You need one to two inches of water above the jars... Read more

Perfect and small
Was looking for a smaller water bath canner that we could use with pint jars.
The larger ones take for ever to heat up, so this works perfect for us.
Happy.

good old fashioned pot
My last canner of this size was about thirty years old and beginning to show some wear, this is identical and I anticipate many years of service from this as well. Read more
