nope aluminum melts ~2200 F this only gets to 600-800F. Its perfect for lead or pewter, but for aluminum you need a potter's kiln or a propane/coal furnance. check out youtube for some cool DIY can furnance.

Sorry, but I'm not really an expert on it. I would assume that if the can says that it's good for metal, then you can.

Yes but just like any plastic you would need to be careful not to over heat it because it will melt.

No, it's aluminum. Aluminum is safe to use for canning since it never comes in contact with the food. It conducts heat very well. I LOVE this canner! So quick to use since you heat very little water. Very safe also because you don't reach down into the water to place or remove jars. Wonderful product!

You do not use an aluminum can. You use the round tube in the middle of the pan to put your liquid in. That tube is also removable for easier clean up.

I don't know but it does get hot enough to melt se ur softer metals. It burns as hot at regular propane torch. Just smaller which means less gas. Run good butane tho. Or ur waisting ur time

It would melt the plastic if it is thin or cheap. This is a hot plate that heats to 200 degrees.

Well the melting point of aluminum is 1221*F . I have used it in a 550 degree oven with no ill effects. I would not suggest rapidly cooling down a pan that hot ( shocking with cold water) as the pan may warp. I hope this helps

I've only used it on Aluminum drink cans as well. I would not expect that it can handle food cans or such like that though.

Unit is designed to crush only 12 oz. aluminum cans.I believe 5.5 oz. cat food cans are steel and not suitable for any consumer grade can crusher.

The entire can is aluminum inside and out. It works well. You have to pump it to build pressure before use.

Have never tried tin cans. Only crushed aluminum cans. Usually remove both ends and flatten steel/tin cans for recycling.

Yes it can. If you add a spool gun and Argon gas it will weld aluminum I've been told. I have never tried it tho.

This furnace is designed for Gold and Silver smelting. Since the melting point of Gold is 1,948F, it should melt aluminum at 1,220F. But avoid setting the temperature to its maximum as it may burn out the heating element(which may be purchased at the manufacturer's site)

I don't know of any reason it can't. It does not get hot enough to melt pvc.

No. Though it gets very hot, this tool does not get hot enough for precious metals. Already tried with brass, it just does not work. You'll need a higher pressure tool with gas that comes out of tanks not cans.

I don't know what the melt method is. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Good luck.
