Our take on the 20.5 Qt Stainless Steel Water Bath Canning Kit with Pot, Rack and Lid

This is a water bath canner set with a 20.5-quart stainless steel pot, a jar rack and a lid. The size suits large batches of high-acid foods like tomatoes, pickles, jams and fruit, and the rack keeps jars off the bottom so water circulates and jars don't crack. It is a starter kit for someone who wants pot, rack and lid in one purchase rather than buying pieces separately. No price was available for this listing, so compare it against other 20-quart canners before buying.

Pros
  • 20.5-quart capacity holds about 7 quart jars per batch
  • Stainless steel resists rust and staining better than aluminum
  • Rack keeps jars off the bottom and reduces breakage
  • Lid traps heat for faster come-up to a boil
  • Pot doubles as a stockpot or lobster pot off-season
Cons
  • Water bath only: not safe for low-acid foods like beans, corn or meat
  • Large diameter needs a wide burner and takes time to boil
  • Stainless steel is heavier than aluminum canners of the same size
  • Rack and lid fit only this pot size, so no mixing with other canners

Questions and answers

Is this canner safe for vegetables and meat?
No. Water bath canning is only for high-acid foods such as fruit, pickles, jams, tomatoes with added acid and acidified sauces. Low-acid foods like green beans, corn, meat and stock need a pressure canner.
How many jars fit in a 20.5-quart canner?
A pot this size typically holds about 7 quart jars or 8 to 9 pint jars in a single layer. Jars must stay upright and fully covered by 1 to 2 inches of water.
Do I need to buy the rack separately?
No. The rack is included in this kit. A rack matters because jars resting on the bare bottom can crack or trap heat unevenly.
Will it work on a glass-top stove?
Check your stove's manual first. A wide, heavy 20-quart pot can exceed the burner size limit on some glass-top ranges, and canners are often restricted to coil or gas burners.
When is the best time to buy a canning kit?
Prices usually drop in late summer and early fall as canning season ends, and again around Black Friday. Compare against other 20-quart canners before buying, since kit pricing varies a lot.
