No. It tops out at 212° F, so it is for water-bath canning of high-acid foods like jams, pickles, salsa and fruit. Low-acid vegetables and meats still need a pressure canner.

Does it need a stove?

No. The electric base heats the pot on its own, so you can can on a countertop and keep your stove free. It needs a standard outlet.

What comes in the box?

The stainless steel pot, the electric base, a tempered glass lid and a removable canning jar rack. Jars and lids are not included.

The pot is hand-wash only. The detachable base is dishwasher-safe, and the rack and lid should be washed by hand.

Is $144.74 a good price?

It is the best new price among 7 stores as of November 5, 2026, so it is the low end of what stores currently charge. Watch for seasonal canning sales in late summer.

How many jars fit at once?

It is sized for standard water-bath batches of pint and quart jars, loaded in the included rack. Check the pot dimensions against your jar sizes before a full batch.

Our take on the Ball Electric Water Bath Canner

The Ball Electric Water Bath Canner is a standalone stainless steel canner that heats on its own electric base instead of a stove burner. It holds a removable jar rack, uses a tempered glass lid and dial control, and tops out at 212° F, the boiling point water-bath canning needs. Ball says it uses about 20% less energy than canning on a stove. Its best new price is $144.74 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new.
