I don't know where Phil got his info, but look at the Ball website. This is NOT a pressure canner. No meats, no veggies, no soup.

Yes. I use it for many other foods as well. I really like the flavor on veggies.

No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop. We have the saying, you can always cook more if it's not ready, but you can't uncook anything. We put mixed veggies on top with a sauce that drips down to the meat and cook from 7 to 10 minutes. If the veggies are to done (I like my crispy), then you can take the layer out and continue cooking the meat. It is very handy and we are considering buying a second one as we use it several times a week. Hope this answers you question. I really recommend the steamer if you like to eat healthy. I am a diabetic and this is great for me. Hope this helps. No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop.

Yes you can cook with it. I have made banana pancakes with it.... To make it a complete protein though you have to mix it with brown rice protein.

Yes, I think you could put veggies in with a turkey. This cooker is very impressive. I was leary about it at first but the turkey breast I did was awesome.

While you cannot fit a whole chicken in there, you can put in chicken parts and your veggies and make a lovely soup for two.I find this pot very handy and have made soup this way.

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.

I have not used it yet but yes you are able to keep it in the meat as you cook.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

If you freeze the soup first, then use the food saver, you could, but you can't do liquids directly. :(

ABSOLUTELY!! You can cook anything you would want. Plus you have more finate control of the temp. You can put a very large pan or pot on it and it cooks so quickly!!! Remember you cook pans need to be steel. Blessings!

I personally used it with hot dog pieces, chicken, liver and no problems! It´ll take just about anything!

It is also has the flexibility of a slow cooker, or you can steam vegetables or meat with it. Read the included recipe book for ideas.

Sure you can. But please be more specific in your question. You could definitely it as a vehicle for soups and such. I've used mine in the stove, in my fireplace and in a fire pit. I'd you have a specific idea in mind, let me know!
