The 19-quart capacity takes a full water bath batch of pint or quart jars on the included rack, with water covering the jars. Exact counts depend on jar size and shape.

What temperatures can it hold?

What comes in the box?

The canner, a canning rack and a lid.

Does it shut off if it runs dry?

It has overheating protection that cuts the unit off when it gets too hot, but you should still keep the water level above the jars.

How is it different from a stovetop canner?

It plugs in and holds its own temperature and timer, so it frees the stove and does not need burner watching. In return it needs counter space and an outlet, and it cannot pressure can.

Our take on the 19 QT Electric Automatic Water Bath Canner

This is a countertop electric water bath canner with a 19-quart capacity, a rack and a lid. It replaces a stockpot on the stove with a plug-in unit that holds a set temperature from 86 to 212 °F and runs a timer from 20 to 120 minutes. It also has a keep-warm setting and overheating protection. It suits people who put up tomatoes, pickles, jams and fruit in batches and want steady heat without watching a burner. Against stovetop canners it gives up nothing in capacity but needs counter space and an outlet, and it cannot be used for pressure canning low-acid foods.
