You are able to use the burners as regular burners, so I would say it would work for canning

I wanted to but found out to do canning, you must have a pressure cooker designed for that purpose. In other words, it must have a pressure gauge on top of the cooker to measure the pressure. Needless to say, one of those is on my wish list~!!! :)

I have done canning in mine but only jelly and jam, things that I would normally use a hot water bath to process. I have had complete success using this and find it invaluable when doing small batches of jams and jellies. I have not tried low acid foods in here as I see no way to regulate the pressure.

I've not had an opportunity for this kind of can...............I will recommend that if you order from Amazon................and not happy with it you can return it. As a point of information, contact OXO and ask them the same question. Good luck

The National Center for Home Food Preservation does not recommend canning in electric pressure cookers for a variety of reasons. http://preservingfoodathome.com/2014/11/25/can-i-can-in-a-multi-cooker/

The older ones were not recommended for canning due to temperature not steady. I believe the newer ones have come a long way but I have never used one.The lady who helped me when I bought my GE electric range explained it to me.

The only jars safe to use for canning are those specifically made for that. This is a decorative jar only.

I wouldn't do that. In fact, according to salesmen of glass top stoves, they should not be used for canning at all. You'll need another stove, gas or electric coil for canning. Either replace your glass top stove, or get an outside propane cook top to do your canning outside.

Yes, if you follow the instructions in the manual. Any meat has an extended canning time. Cabbage is another that requires more time because I use it in my vegetable soup. Hope that helps. I love that canner!

No, it is not a safe substitute for a canner. He has a new one out that can be used however.

Yes my family has always canned as far back as anyone can remember and this is the kit I purchased to start my daughter out with. It is always a good idea to start with wet bath canning before moving on to pressure canning. Good luck and may your family enjoy it.

It's a small pot with a basket that fits inside, has a lid and is great for boiling. As for canning use, you would need to make that determination. I don't know if you need pressure for canning. If so, no it won't work. If you just need to put a jar into it and boil it, then yes it would and the basket would make removal of the hot jar easier.

most definitely.....this does not take the place of pressure canning which is needed for low acid foods. they will not be safe in this. it is a wonderful product and works like a dream....love it.

I'm sure you can. I used it yesterday to process 8 oz jars. There is no way small jars can slide out. I am planning to buy another so I can stack in canning kettle.

I do not can, but the manual says that you can. I have enclosed a link where you can down load the manual and see the instructions for canning. I do have a friend who does some canning, she used this and likes it. http://www.maxi-matic.com/product.php?productid=206&cat=80&page=1

Nope. The Vacu Vin pulls a partial vacuum, which I don't think would be adequate for what is required in canning. Certainly not worth the risk! Its really just for keeping coffee beans a bit fresher longer.
