- How many jars does it hold?
- It fits up to 7 quart jars or 16 pint jars in a single load, depending on jar size and rack setup.
- Does it work on induction cooktops?
- No. The aluminum body is not induction-compatible; it works on gas and electric coil burners.
- Can it be used as a regular pressure cooker?
- Yes. Beyond canning, it cooks large batches of stews, stocks and beans under pressure.
- How do I know it has reached pressure?
- The weighted regulator begins to jiggle and release steam at the set pressure; you regulate the heat to keep a steady jiggle.
- What comes in the box?
- The canner, a rack for holding jars, and the weighted pressure regulator; check the contents list for the exact set.
- Is it worth it over a smaller cooker?
- If you can produce in large batches, the full jar capacity saves time per run. For small daily meals, a 6- to 8-quart cooker is easier to handle.
