Prep•N•Cook by McSunley 21.5Qt Induction Stainless Steel Water Bath Canner

Got try out my new canner yesterday, and it is awesome!! The insulated handles on the pot and lid, make it both comfortable to handle when it's hot, but add texture to the grip so there is no slipping. It is quite large at 21+ quarts, and when filled with enough water to cover 8 half pint mason jars (it will hold more) it is definitely heavy, and being able to have a solid grip when it's hot or cold is nice! However one potentially negative aspect of its size is the space it takes up on the stove top. I have a 6 burner range and you can see in the picture, there's not much in the way of room next to it. With a 4 burner unit, you might struggle to get more than one other pot on the stove at the same time. The pot measures 13" outside diameter at the bottom. The rack is super nice as it not only holds the jars off the bottom during the bathing portion of canning, it makes it really nice to lift them all out together and suspend them over the water. The handles of the rack are obviously not insulated, so you need to think about how you're going to grab them when you're ready to lift the jars out of the hot water. Another nice feature is the glass lid, which allows you to see when the water reaches a rolling boil, so you can accurately time your process! All in all this canner lived up to all the hype, and then some! Makes me almost wish I had an excuse to try it out as a stock pot, but my dining room table won't seat that many people! It can easily act as a great stock pot in addition to being a great canner! I am super happy with this purchase ... LOVE it!!

The magnetic base on this pot interacts perfectly with my induction stove. It detects instantly, heats up incredibly fast, and distributes the heat completely evenly across the entire surface with zero hot spots. The temperature control is instantaneous, which is incredibly important when you need to maintain a precise boil. If you have an induction stove and have been struggling to find a heavy-duty pot that checks all the boxes for size, performance, and canning utility, your search is over. This is an outstanding addition to any kitchen and is worth every single penny. Highly, highly recommended!

I think this canner is the bomb. I had a problem and the support I received was outstanding! I will definitely continue buying McSunley products!

This is my first Water Bath canner and I can tell you the body is built from quality stainless steel. I bought it new & the price seems reasonable. It was packaged in a very sturdy box. The photo online shows the canner will hold 9 standard pint-sized jars. Silly me; I only use wide-mouth jars when canning food & it didn't occur to me that the pint-sized wide-mouth jars are shorter & wider than the standard pint-size jars. Note to self (& others); only 8 wide-mouth pint-sized jars will fit into this canner. I used it on a gas cooktop. Setting the water level, heating up the jars and keeping them hot while filling them was easy. When I lifted out the rack of filled jars after processing, the rack felt sturdy and securing it onto the rim was a snap. The entire process was a great experience for me and I'm looking forward to canning additional jams, jellies, butters and sauces. It will be interesting to see how many wide-mouth half-pint & quarter-pint jars will fit. Up till now, my canning experence was limited to using a pressure canner, which I purchased several years ago to can tuna. This year, after using the pressure canner as a water-bath canner for a couple of sauces and butters, I decided to purchase a dedicated water-bath canner and I'm very pleased with this unit.

Bought this pot because I needed a new one due to having a glass top stove. Would not recommend to use it on one. First it needs to be a few inches deeper to accommodate quart size jars as with the glass lid I feel like it's great to be able to see items processing but it collects too much condinsation on the lid causing it to leak onto your glass top stove permanently staining your stove top. When the pot boils water splatters up onto lid causing it to float making it leak even more water onto your stove. Used multiple towels to keep lid dry so it wouldn't make a big mess on my stove but still didn't work well. I feel you need a deeper pot as due to the splattering of water when using quart jars if you fill it where it is supposed to be over the jars to process the splattering of the water and condinsation on the lid create a big mess and if you try to adjust the level of water you get less than an inch over the top of the jars it questions the safety of the water level needed to process safely. Overall good pot just need to fix the condinsation issue with the floating lid issue and I could only fit 6 quarts size jars not 7 like others as putting in 7 overflows the pot needs to be a deeper pot by 2 to 3 inches.

Purchased this to do all my water bath canning. Love the see through lid. Easy to clean and a good buy for the money. Liked it so much I bought a second one for my daughter.

This pot is great for canning as well as making large batches of soups and sauces. Sleek. Substantial. Well made. Solid well fitting lid

We have used a Graniteware 21 Quart Canner Kettle for many, many, many years, but it is finally starting to severely rust. So, it was time for a rust-free replacement. Amazon carries a number of these stainless steel canner kettles from various importers at fairly comparable prices. So, I picked this one as it had a lot of favorable reviews. This is a tentative review, but it looks great. It is slightly larger than the Graniteware 21 quart unit, which holds 7 pints. This one is rated for 9 pints. The lift basket does not have dividers, so if you are canning less than 9 and want to be sure the pint jars stay upright, you may have to add jars with only water to take up space. This kettle looks great, with no dents or damage. Only time will tell if we get 30 years out of this one. Probably the biggest hazard is accidentally dropping the glass lid and breaking it.

Once the water was boiling, I did find one small side of the pan where it met the lid was not perfect, hence the condensing steam ran over the hob. Otherwise great pan

Exactly as described. Very happy

Been using this canner for 2 years now. Working very well. Big, solid, stainless steel. No weird marks from our hard water, which is nice. I can barely fit 7 quart jars in, not sure how they do it in the product picture. I am very happy with this product, and I will be using this for many more years, I am sure.

Good canning pan. Large holds 6 x 1ltr jars easily.

The pot is perfect. I used it to can 12 jars of fresh soup. Love it!
