How many jars does the 21.5-quart model hold?

It fits about 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars per load, depending on jar shape and how they are packed.

Does it need a gasket?

No. It uses a metal-to-metal seal, so there is no rubber gasket to crack, burn or replace. Keep the sealing edges clean and seated.

Can I use it on a glass-top range?

No. Glass-top ranges are not built for the high heat and weight of canning, and the manufacturer advises against it. Use a gas or coil electric burner.

What pressures can it hold?

The regulator weight offers 5, 10 and 15 pounds, covering both pressure cooking and low-acid canning, with a geared gauge to monitor the rise.

What comes in the box?

The canner, two canning racks, the pressure regulator weight and an instruction and recipe book.

Is it a canner or a pressure cooker?

Both. It is rated for pressure canning low-acid foods and for pressure cooking, and the 15-pound setting handles the higher pressures canning recipes call for.
