Can you put these into a pressure cooker?

Of course you can, but keep the lid loose if you want it covered. I am a licensed professional engineer, mechanical - 28 years.

I have not tried it myself, I do believe they are heat proof so they should be fine to use. General comments on the Internet say not to forget to place at least a trivet or towel under the bowl when cooking.

You can, but if the lid is in your pressure cooker, you should not snap it in place. Just place it on top loosely. I am a licensed PE, mechanical engineering. Have taken a few materials courses. Have fun ;-)

Yes, since these are made of, " heat proof, " glass, you can definitely use them in a pressure cooker.

NO NO NO! :) No home pressure cooker is made to do pressure frying and to do so is dangerous (Google it). As you know, pressure only begins building in the cooker AFTER the water boils. Oil's boiling point (aka smoking point), however, is much higher than that of water. At normal atmospheric pressure, water boils at 212F, but most oils smoke (boil) at 350F-450F -- that's 150F-250F degrees higher, even double the temperature of boiling water! And that temperature is even higher when pressurized inside the cooker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_frying The major problem is that home pressure cookers are not made to withstand that heat. The rubber/silicone gasket, for example, may melt. So might some of the glue or plastic parts touching metal parts. If crucial parts melt while cooking, you may have an explosion from the internal pressure. Basically, pressure frying using a home pressure cooker is a disaster waiting to happen. That's why manuals will warn against it.

This Cooker requires careful handling !!! For full instructions contact the manufacturer ! Pressure Cookers can and are Dangerous when not used properly !

I would say yes. But make sure all the jars are not touching each other when you use. I am not an expert , but we used others like these in our pressure cooker years ago.Randy

Unequivocally NO. That would be dangerous. You need an actual pressure fryer to do this. And they are available. Do a Google search (or Amazon).

Yes you can. The 10 quart one has the capacity for 4- 1 quart jars and they will weigh less than 50 Lbs. Don't forget you also can use this pot for many other purposes , like roast a whole chicken or boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes dish. Read the manual carefuly that comes with your pressure cooker and Happy caninng to you!

The plastic is tough enough that I am sure you could put them in a pot of simmering water. I just have never done it that way and thus do not know how long you would want to leave them in. I would not boil them though.

Yes, they can. But oats can be problematic in any pressure cooker as they tend to make foam that can rise and cause the cooker to "leak" at the gasket. I recommend cooking small amounts. But the Kuhn is good choice for oat cooking as it is tall and makes it harder for the foam to rise too much (still in small batches is best though...!)

Hi, do not really have experience with a pressure cooker, I have not use one for ages. Suggest to test on a vegetarian dish...cook 5 minutes, close lid, let pressure build and place in the WB and cover any vent. I think it should work and like loomweaver says, cooling and de pressuring will increase, so you need to reduce actual cooking time on a heat source. But is a good question and I will experiment myself with it. Best regards.

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/

Yes, you can sauté and use it like a thick bottomed pot or pan. I believe this is true of all pressure cookers for a stovetop.

Not if you only purchased the pressure cooker. I suggest checking your order details.

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

If you are talking pressure cooker, I would not. Although it is very sturdy, pressure cookers are temperamental, so to speak. It can be used with a steamer very well . Hope this helps.

Depends how old it is and what brand and if it is for canning or a regular pressure cooker. Let me know and I will see if I can help.

Manufacturer claimed you can but I never tried. In my case it never worked as the pressure smoker. Lid never sealed proper.

I do canning but I would never use any pressure cooker for canning, not worth the worry, safety first.
