Our take on the Multi-Use Waterbath Canner

The Multi-Use Waterbath Canner is an 8-pint-jar boiling-water canner with a built-in temperature indicator, a jar rack and silicone-covered handles. The temperature gauge takes the guesswork out of reaching the rolling boil that high-acid foods need, and the coated handles stay cooler than bare metal. It also works as a stockpot for large batches of soup, chili or crab. No current price was provided, so check the latest best price against its recent range before buying.

Pros
  • Built-in temperature indicator shows when the water is at a rolling boil
  • Rack included, so jars stay off the bottom and water circulates
  • Silicone-covered handles are easier to grip than bare metal
  • 8-pint capacity suits small batches and starter canning
  • Doubles as a stockpot for soups, chili and seafood boils
Cons
  • Waterbath only: not safe for low-acid foods like beans, corn or meat, which need a pressure canner
  • 8 pints is small for families putting up a season's worth
  • Silicone handles and a gauge add cleaning spots a plain pot does not have
  • No lid style or base thickness is specified, both of which affect boil time

Questions and answers

Is this canner worth it for a beginner?
Yes, if you plan to can high-acid foods such as jams, pickles, salsa and tomatoes. The included rack and temperature indicator remove two common beginner mistakes. Skip it if you want to can low-acid vegetables or meat, which require a pressure canner.
Can I use it for low-acid foods like green beans?
No. A boiling-water bath cannot reach the 240°F needed to kill botulism spores in low-acid foods. Use a pressure canner for beans, corn, meat and stocks.
How many jars does it hold?
It holds 8 pint jars. Quart jars will fit in fewer numbers, and the exact count depends on jar shape and how deep the water sits above the lids.
Does it work on induction or glass-top stoves?
That depends on the base material, which is not specified here. Flat-bottomed stainless or enamel-on-steel pots work on induction; check the base before buying if you have an induction range.
What comes in the box?
The canner and a jar rack are included. A lid and any canning tools such as jar lifters or a bubble remover are not listed, so plan to buy those separately.
When is it cheapest?
Canning gear usually drops in price in late summer and early fall, after peak preserving season, and around Black Friday. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
