Does it work on an induction cooktop?

Yes. The base is induction ready and the maker lists it for all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric and glass-top.

How many jars does a 23-quart canner hold?

A 23-quart canner typically holds about 7 quart jars or around 18 to 20 pint jars per load, depending on jar shape and rack stacking.

Can I use it as a regular pressure cooker?

Yes. It is sold as a canner and cooker, so it can braise, steam and pressure-cook foods as well as process jars.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. The aluminum body should be hand washed and dried to keep the brushed finish and avoid staining.

What comes in the box?

The canner, its lid and a canning rack are included. Jars, lids and a weighted gauge are not.

Is it better than a smaller 16-quart canner?

For quart jars and big harvests, yes. The 23-quart size processes more per run; a 16-quart model suits small batches and lighter lifting.
