Product HighlightsThe Granite Ware 20-quart Pressure Canner/Cooker/Steamer is a professional-quality tool, and made of hard anodized aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a locking stainless steel lid. The steamer insert fits into the stepped portion of the vessel about 1/3 the way up from the bottom to hold foods out of the cooking liquid and can handle all your large capacity steaming needs, for tamales, seafood, pulled pork, pot roast, ribs, and more. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, and comes with folding handles for easy raising and lowering. Holds up to 7 one-quart jars, 8 one-pint jars or 24 half-pint jars. Model F0730-2 includes Canning Jar Rack and Steamer Trivet (jars not included). |
Adjustable pressure to assure great resultsThe Granite Ware Pressure Canner achieves the high temperatures required to safely process and can meats, poultry, and low-acid vegetables. It can also be used as a pressure cooker for any meal that needs to come together quickly - preserving flavor and nutrients, tenderizing meat, and cooking many foods in 1/3 to 1/10 the time. A pop-up pressure indicator locks the lid in place, it cannot be opened while the canner is pressurized, even if there is just 1 psi of pressure. The vent pipe is located in the center of the lid and if it fails or clogs, an additional black capped safety valve will go off and a second all metal safety valve will exhaust residual pressure while sounding a whistling alarm. The sturdy lid locks in place during canning or cooking with the lid gasket sealing ring forming a pressure tight seal between the body of the canner and the cover during use. |

* The enclosed manual is updated (2015) and is written is good English. It gives basic usage instructions and simple canning rules. There are no recipes.
* Perfect for glass cooktops. Why? While the pot is 12 inches wide, the base contacting the surface is only 9 inches which is in range of the large burner on cooktops. The rest of the base is lifted by about 1/4 inch. In addition, after reading quite a few contradictory rules about using large canning pressure cookers on glass cooktops, I've come to agree with the one that says the pot temperature stays below 250 deg. F and is within the designed temperature of cooktops. Frying or stir frying a large diameter pot on a glass cooktop is probably not a good idea.
* Cannot use on induction stove: there is no steel in this pot bottom.
* How many bottles can it hold? 7 quarts, 8 pints, 24 half-pints (by stacking 2 layers), or 4 half gallon. I tested it with Ball jars, wide mouth, with lids. The half gallon is a tight fit, but the cover will close with some room to spare.
* Safety: there are 2 pressure release valves, a pressured lid lock, and the weighted pressure valve. The lid and pot flanges are pretty robust.
* The pressure seal is silicone rubber and should last a long time even though the manual 'suggests' replacing it every year. The silicone rubber seals on my other pressure cookers are going on 10 years with no leaks. Of course, I only use them several times a month so your mileage may differ.
All in all, a very good buy.
I'd give it 5 stars as a pressure CANNER and 3 stars as a pressure COOKER. Overall for the price, and for what I use it for, it earns a solid 5 stars from me.
As for this particular model, it is anodized aluminum — this means that:
1. It will NOT work on an induction cooktop; and
2. It also means that the pot is safer to cook in than just a raw aluminum pot.
The aluminum is nice for a pot this large because it's easier to lift and handle.
A couple of tips:
When steam starts coming out of the center vent, you might also notice it coming out of a hole by the handle. This hole houses the lid lock and it prevents the lid from being inadvertently opened under pressure. Occasionally this will not pop up on it's own. If it doesn't try these things:
1. rotate the lid slightly left and right using the handles to give the peg that pops up clear access to pop up. When it locks, you will see it pop up and steam will no longer come out there.
2. If that doesn't work, try putting weight on the center steam vent and let it build up a little pressure in order to pop the lid lock up. You can then also try wiggling the lid a little to help it. Once it pops up, if you are canning, you can take off the center steam vent weight and allow the pressure cooker to vent steam for the required 10 minutes to exhaust all the air out.
For the price, this is a very economical canner. And as a pressure CANNER, it's great and does the job. As a pressure COOKER, I would suggest you be very cautious about burning food to the bottom since it has a relatively thin, lightweight bottom. I use mine for cooking up big pots of chicken stock because there's so much liquid, there's just not a concern of burning anything to the bottom. But most other things I pressure cook, I do in a nicer pressure cooker with a thicker bottom disk for more even heat distribution. If you're looking for a pressure cooker only, you might want to look at other options.
Also, one more important point that you might not notice from the description or photos: while the pot is about 12 1/2" - 13" the actual base/bottom of the pot that contacts the stove top is only 9" if that makes sense. In other words the bottom 9" center of the pot extends down about a quarter inch and this is flat. Outside of that 9" bottom flat surface, the bottom curves slightly out and up to the edges. I beleive this makes heating the pot more efficient. The average size of a large stove burner is closer to 8" So having a larger burner than that is not necessary.

Processed 7 quarts of tomato sauce. Can't wait to try canning some fish. Looking forward to processing a lot of produce from the garden this year.
