Sorry, it's not for the gallon size. It'll only fit the wide mouth jars, either pint, quart or even the short small one.

Jars all have different sizes openings so you would have to know the size of your jar opening. Also take into consideration how much you are straining out of the jar. For example I used the 4 inch strainer on my 2 quart jar, but when what I was straining increased I started using the 5'1/2.

mason jars and bowls come in different sizes. Provide the jar/bowl diameters, I could give you an idea

i am using mine in a 2 1/2 gallon tank. & i had to take the plastic stem out in order to make it fit. I fitted it with a plastic aquarium plant pot covered with plastic mesh & it works great.

I just tried this model on a Ball 1Qt Mason jar and it is too big. I assume that it depends on the jar. Also - see above that there is another model and that the 1st question talks about the fact that they are different sizes.

I threw mine away, but you can figure the width of two spice jars plus add 1/2 to 1 inch for the center. I honestly can't recommend this, though. It started falling apart shortly after I set it up.

I have the 16oz jar. I know it's not the proper way to measure diameter, but when I lay a ruler across the opening of the jar, it measures 2.5 inches.

To safely process your jars you need one and one half to two inches of water above the top of your jars. Plus you need at least one inch of free space above your water to prevent the water from over boiling onto your stove top . This pot will not work for your size of jars because the lids need to be totally submerged in the water at all times. A pot eleven to twelve inches high will work perfect for you. Preferably the twelve inch high one.

Don't know the circumference of your jars, but the height WILL go in. My canning jars are 6 1/2" tall. The pot is 9" to the rim where the lid fits down(with the rack in it). Also, I don't know if the increased size will affect the canning process. Hope this helps, sherly.

Yes or no.If the top of the 1/2 gallon jar is the same diameter as a one QUART Ball or Kerr jar it will fit.You have to ask for the diameter of the 1/2 gallon jar top to know for sure.

8 3/4" w/out the lid; 12" with the lid. Sorry I didn't get back to your question sooner! This is my favorite pot for jambalaya and soups when cooking for a small group. I cook over gas and this pot cooks nice and even. TMI?? Bon apetit!

It is flat on the bottom. It has a diameter of 11 3/4 inches and a depth of 9 1/2 inches. You would need to having a canning rack that would fit down into the pan so the jars are covered in boiling water.

61/2 inchesI like it , the only problem is the cup is not that large.I have to put in bigger jar and do ingrediants separately. But I think it works great and I love the mason jar componant.

The canning pot is 7 1/2 inches high. It will fit 7 pint jars. I also use it for jars that hold 8 oz. and 12 oz.

About 7 half-pints fit into the canner well. Have not tried with pint jars, but it sounds like you really want half pints so it should do the job.
