Our take on the Ball Electric Canner

The Ball Electric Canner is a countertop water-bath canner that replaces a stovetop pot with a plug-in stainless steel appliance. It holds up to 7 quart jars or 8 pint jars in a 21-quart well and runs on 1400 watts, so it frees a burner and keeps the heat off your kitchen. It suits people who put up tomatoes, pickles, jams and other high-acid foods in batches and want steadier temperature control than a pot on a flame. It is not a pressure canner, so low-acid vegetables, meats and stocks still need a separate pressure canner. Against a stockpot it adds built-in heating and a fitted basket but takes up dedicated counter space and cannot be used for pressure recipes.

Pros
  • Frees the stove and keeps the kitchen cooler than a boiling stockpot
  • Holds 7 quart or 8 pint jars per load
  • Stainless steel body and well are easy to wipe down
  • Built-in heating gives steadier water temperature than a burner
  • Fitted basket and lid simplify loading and unloading hot jars
Cons
  • Water-bath only: not safe for low-acid foods like beans, corn or meat
  • Large footprint takes up counter or storage space
  • Heavy when full of water and jars
  • Needs a dedicated 120V circuit; 1400 watts can trip a shared outlet
  • Costs far more than a plain enamel water-bath pot

What reviewers say

Owners of electric water-bath canners like this class of appliance praise the steady heat, the freed stovetop and the roomy jar capacity. Common complaints center on the bulk, the weight when loaded and the fact that it cannot replace a pressure canner.

  • WeightCriticisedIt gets heavy once filled with water and jars, making it hard to move.

Questions and answers

Can it pressure can green beans or meat?
No. It is a water-bath canner for high-acid foods such as tomatoes, pickles, jams and fruit. Low-acid vegetables, meats and stocks need a separate pressure canner.
How many jars fit in one load?
Up to 7 quart jars or 8 pint jars in the 21-quart well. Mixing sizes reduces the count.
Does it need a special outlet?
It draws 1400 watts, so plug it into a dedicated 120V circuit. Sharing a circuit with other appliances can trip the breaker.
How does it compare with a stovetop water-bath pot?
It heats itself, keeps the stove free and holds temperature more steadily. A pot is cheaper, lighter and stores more easily but needs a burner and closer watching.
What comes in the box?
The canner unit, a fitted jar basket and a lid. Jars, lids and bands are sold separately.
Is it worth it for a beginner?
If you can tomatoes, pickles or jam in batches and want to keep the stove clear, it is a convenient step up from a stockpot. Occasional canners may find a simple pot enough.
Where is the Ball Electric Canner cheapest?
At eBay, for $144.74, 50% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Ball Electric Canner?
3 stores we checked sell it, including Lowe's, Amazon, eBay.
