Prep•N•Cook by McSunley 21.5Qt Induction Stainless Steel Water Bath Canner

The media could not be loaded. About 30 years ago I bought an old enamel ware canner at a yard sale for $3.00. It had served me well, but with time the enamel became chipped and eventually so badly etched inside that it was time to retire it.I went looking for a nice stainless canner to replace it and found this one. The reviews had me a little concerned. But on receipt all is well.It will be perfect. It has a nice, thick, heavy bottom that should resist warping and a vented glass lid that will hopefully keep it from spitting water onto my stovetop. The insulated handles are also much appreciated.Because it's Stainless it will be rust and chip free and easy to care for.The bottom is nice and flat, though I use a Wolf gas stove, so it's precision isn't as important to me as it might be for someone with an induction range.I have doubts about the rack, I saw nothing saying that it's stainless and it appears to be plated. I anticipate it rusting a bit soon after a few uses.Though I haven't used it yet, I feel confident that it will serve me for the rest of my canning seasons to come.It arrived in perfect condition. It appears I was luckier than some folks in that respect. The packing needs to be improved to protect the glass lid. It's simply turned upside down in the pot with nothing between but a plastic bag to protect it. It's no wonder folks are getting pots with shattered lids. A simple piece of cardboard nested between the two would be an easy solution.I would most certainly recommend it.

good quality, easy to use, good value for money, durable, rust proof

I’ve canned a few times in this pot. Works great. I have a glass top electric stove. Very satisfied with its performance. Good quality and has a heavy duty stainless steel bottom.

I needed to invest in a new canner as I bought a new stove with a glass cooktop. This meant that my old school canner would not be able to be used on it as the cooktop could crack. Since this canner had a flat bottom, I decided to give it a try. This pot is so big!! I had no problem fitting seven wide mouth quart jars in it, something I couldn’t do in my old pot! Because of the heavy bottom, it would also be a great pot to make soup for a very large crowd!

Bought this pot because I needed a new one due to having a glass top stove. Would not recommend to use it on one. First it needs to be a few inches deeper to accommodate quart size jars as with the glass lid I feel like it's great to be able to see items processing but it collects too much condinsation on the lid causing it to leak onto your glass top stove permanently staining your stove top. When the pot boils water splatters up onto lid causing it to float making it leak even more water onto your stove. Used multiple towels to keep lid dry so it wouldn't make a big mess on my stove but still didn't work well. I feel you need a deeper pot as due to the splattering of water when using quart jars if you fill it where it is supposed to be over the jars to process the splattering of the water and condinsation on the lid create a big mess and if you try to adjust the level of water you get less than an inch over the top of the jars it questions the safety of the water level needed to process safely. Overall good pot just need to fix the condinsation issue with the floating lid issue and I could only fit 6 quarts size jars not 7 like others as putting in 7 overflows the pot needs to be a deeper pot by 2 to 3 inches.

Great Quality and Seller

I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this canner. My previous canner started rusting on me, so I was in need of a new one. I bought a similar canner from a big box store but returned it within days because of the wire rack being so flimsy. I kept seeing this one on Amazon, but was hesitant to purchase because I thought I was buying another poor quality canner. Boy, was I wrong! I posted a question to the Amazon community asking if the wire rack was flimsy, and almost immediately I had 9 answers saying it is the best canner they have purchased, hands down. I went ahead and purchased it, and as soon as I took it out of the box, I could feel the sturdiness in the wire rack. I canned 7 quarts of peaches today, and was so excited as how wonderful the wire rack is with a full batch. Another thing I noticed is how quickly the canner heated up plus the lid fits nice and tight. If you aren't sure about this canner don't wait like I did, just buy it, you won't regret it!

To no fault of the company, the cover broke out of the blue before even using it once. I called the company, and they immediately apologized and sent a replacement. That is great customer service. Thank you!BTW, the product exceeds my expectations and highly recommended.
