Our take on the Prep•N•Cook by McSunley 21.5Qt Stainless Steel Water Bath Canner

The Prep•N•Cook is a 21.5-quart stainless steel water bath canner with a flat rack for holding jars upright during processing. Stainless steel resists rust and staining better than the enamel-on-steel canners many beginners start with, and it is dishwasher safe. It holds roughly seven quart jars per batch, in line with other 21.5-quart canners. It is built for stovetop water bath canning only: it does not work on induction cooktops and is not a pressure canner, so low-acid foods like green beans and meat still need a pressure canner.

Questions and answers

Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
No. McSunley states the canner is not compatible with induction cooktops. It works on gas, electric coil and ceramic glass stovetops.
How many jars fit in one batch?
At 21.5 quarts it holds about seven quart jars or more pint jars per batch, similar to other canners of this size.
Can I pressure can with it?
No. It is a water bath canner for high-acid foods like jams, pickles, tomatoes and fruit. Low-acid foods such as vegetables and meat need a pressure canner.
Does it come with a lid and rack?
It includes a flat rack for holding jars. A lid is not part of the set, so preheating and heat retention rely on the pot itself.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. The stainless steel body is dishwasher safe, though hand drying helps avoid water spots.
Is it worth it over an enamel canner?
Stainless steel resists chipping and rust better than enamel-on-steel, which makes it a more durable long-term choice for regular canning.
