Product Description

Amazon.com Review

For tea, instant coffee, or hot chocolate, this cordless electric kettle brings 6 cups of water to a boil in minutes with an easy-cleaning, stainless-steel heating element. The kettle is made of stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, with matte-finish plastic accents for a contemporary look. To provide 360-degree access, the kettle fits onto the power base in any position. With indicator lights on both sides of the handle and an on/off switch integrated into the handle, it suits lefthanders and righthanders equally. For safety, the lid locks, the handle is insulated to stay cool, and the unit shuts off automatically when water boils or the kettle runs dry. Gauges show the water level inside the kettle in cups and liters. A removable, washable filter captures loose pieces of scale. The kettle stands 8 inches high on its power base, which has a cord wrap underneath to reduce counter clutter. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality, December 26, 2004

I use this canner approximately twice a month. I bought it about 6 months ago and it is a wonderful product. It's nice that there are no moving parts to replace. I don't need to worry about the dial guage being calibrated. The canner comes with an EXCELLENT recipe book! The shrimp creole and beef stroganoff are absolutely delicious and easy to make. My husband was really impressed.

I highly recommend this canner, along with the 22-quart from the same company. They are both excellent and should last a lifetime. This canner is an excellent value as well.

This review is from: Mirro 12qt. Pressure Cooker/Canner, Aluminum (Kitchen)

The size description online and what it really is does not match. Mirro knows there is a manufacturing malfunction and has nothing to replace it with. It will not hold the usual 7 canning quart jars, only 5 and then the lid will not close with the jars inside.

I bought my 12 qt. Mirro to replace a smaller pressure canner and am delighted. I originally wanted a canner with a pressure guage. I was not really sure about using the "three" pressure regulator, since I had never used this kind before. But, since all my canning is done at 15 PSI, it turns out my little "Security blanket" need to see some guage tell me the pressure is actually 15 PSI was purely a mental thing. I love the simplicity, the easey cleaning, the compactness and the sleek, very professional look of this canner. My first project with my new canner was to put up about twenty pounds of chicken breasts in pint jars. No problem...I simply followed the manufacturer's guide and in no time, had twenty pints of really beautiful chicken breast chunks on the shelf. I am really impressed with the way the lid goes on with out any effort. Also, the safety lock is a design that is just impossible to fail.

So...I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this pressure canner to anyone, beginners or experts. For the price, it simply can not be beaten.
