Easy to use - just add water, place your loaded jars on the rack, cover with the lid, and watch the built-in temperature gauge to know when to start timing. Uses less water which not only cuts preheating time, but also eliminates heavy lifting, boil-overs and messy clean-ups.

Review: Much easier and more efficient than a water bath canner - I will be making comparisons to a traditional water bath canner (like the granite ware ones), and will state whether it’s a pro or con. This canner uses a lot less water, which in turn, requires less energy and time to heat (pro). It’s lightweight, lighter than my granite ware even without water and especially with water. That means emptying the water after canning is much easier (pro). It has a max processing time of 45 minutes. It shouldn’t be used to process over that time, or the canner may run dry and cause damage. That makes it tricky when canning tomato products, which can take 35-50 minutes under 1000ft (processing time gets longer the higher the elevation). I personally do not risk it, and only can pickles and fruit in the steam canner, and use the water bath canner for tomatoes. If all you’re canning is pickles and fruits, this is the superior choice. Rather than waiting 30-45 minutes to heat a water bath canner for something that only takes 10 minutes to process, this is the better solution. If you’re only canning tomatoes, don’t buy this canner (con). Size wise, this holds 7 quarts, same as my water bath canner. Some miscellaneous comments: The indicator knob on top has an odd design. You’re supposed to calibrate the canner before you use it the first time and at the beginning of every new canning season. There are instructions in the manual on how to do that. But when you look at the indicator, it has those green zones for your elevation for when to start timing; those don’t mean anything, they’re useless background. You have to make a mark when you calibrate when it’s full of steam, then you start the timer. I question why they added those green zones when it actually has no meaning. (as shown in the picture, I marked it too early, but I know to start time when it goes past the line I made) I’ve used this canner about five times, and the inside changes color based on where the water was sitting. The rack and the bottom pan look different than when I initially received it and used it for the first time. It seems to be just a visual change, and hasn’t caused any problems.
Review: Outstanding Steam Canner – A Game Changer for Home Canning! - This steam canner is absolutely fantastic! It has made the canning process faster, easier, and far more efficient than traditional water bath methods. It heats up quickly and uses much less water, which means I can start and finish a batch in a fraction of the time. The even steam distribution ensures that everything seals perfectly every time — no more guessing or reprocessing jars. The construction is solid and well-made, with a sturdy base and a clear lid that makes it easy to monitor the steam level. The built-in temperature gauge is a great feature, taking the guesswork out of when it’s ready to start timing. Cleanup is also a breeze since there’s no huge pot of boiling water to deal with. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and works perfectly on my glass-top stove. Whether I’m canning jams, pickles, or tomatoes, the results have been consistently excellent.

## Features

- EASY AND SAFE: Just as safe and effective as water bath canners when properly used to preserve acidified or naturally acidic foods. Cool-touch handles help you to avoid burns when canning.
- FASTER AND LIGHTER: Uses 80% less water than traditional water bath canning. Heat-up times are also much quicker than traditional water bath canning. It cuts preheating time by 50% compared to water bath canning. Lightweight design with lower water capacity requirements make this the fastest canning method.
- NO GUESSWORK TEMPERATURE INDICATOR: Built-in temperature indicator within the knob of the lid makes timing easier. Simply start timing your canning job when the needle reaches the appropriate maximum temperature mark.
- LARGE CANNING CAPACITY: You can process up to 7 quart or 8 pint jars of high-acid foods at one time, yet you only need 2-1/2 quarts of water to accomplish this. Note: will NOT accommodate half gallon jars.
- DURABLE CONSTRUCTION WITH 5-YEAR WARRANTY: Built to last, our canner is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty, ensuring your peace of mind and long-term satisfaction with your purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you can green beans ?**
A: Green beans can be safely water-bathed but it takes 3 hours. The steam canner is only good for things requiring less than 45 minutes

**Q: I have a glass top stove. I want to start canning our garden this year. What should I use for low acid foods? Can I use a water bath on a glass stove**
A: Low acid foods CANNOT be safely canned using steam canning or hot water bath canning. Only high acid foods (fruits, pickles, etc.) can be safely canned with this canner.This canner is made of aluminum and does not have a flat bottom. That will cause issues with some cooking surfaces. If your surface requires a flat bottom, this is not the right tool for you. Perhaps instead you should consider VKP1130.Feel free to contact me with any other questions pertaining to this product.-Kimberly GaverVICTORIOProduct Managerhelp@victorio.info

**Q: Is it tall enough to fit 1/2 gallon sized jars?**
A: No. You should only be canning grape juice or apple juice in ½ gallon jars. Here's the info on the National Home Food Preservation website run by the FDA:
https://nchfp.uga.edu/questions/FAQ_canning.html#16a

What can I process in half-gallon canning jars?
At least one canning jar manufacturer is selling half-gallon canning jars. That manufacturer has a printed note on the top that says half-gallon jars are only used for some highly acidic foods in a boiling water canner, with instructions to call a toll-free number for the instructions. When we last called, the only choices are grape juice and apple juice, as we also recommend.

The only processes that USDA, the National Center for Home Food Preservation and the University of Georgia have to recommend for half-gallon jars are for very acidic fruit juices (and juice only): Apple Juice (http://www.homefoodpreservation.com/how/can_02/apple_juice.html) and Grape Juice (http://www.homefoodpreservation.com/how/can_02/grape_juice.html). This process time is not to be used for tomato juice, for example.

There are no other research-tested processes for half-gallon jars. Boiling water processes for other foods for jars larger than those published with recipes (usually pints and/or quarts) cannot be extended by any formula to a larger jar.

We are aware that there are historical recommendations for canning foods in half-gallon jars. However, these are not currently accepted or endorsed by the USDA, Cooperative Extension System or U.S. manufacturers of home canning jars.

**Q: Can the steam canner  also be used to sterilize the mason jars after i wash them in sudsy hot water and they are clean & if yes please explain thx**
A: It is no longer considered necessary to sterilize canning jars as long as you are water bath canning for at least 10 minutes.  It is no longer necessary to sterilize or boil your canning lids.  Please check out the latest canning methods via the manufacturer's website.  That being said, I love this canner, faster than the old style canner and much lighter weight.  Excellent value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a STEAM CANNER
*by S***Y on 27 October 2025*

Some people are claiming that it leaks steam and never comes to pressure. Id like to add that it is a steam canner and not a pressure canner.
