Customer Rating: Summary: Good Price Comment: Pretty much what I expected. The rack is a little difficult to work with unless using large jars. No problem using it on my ceramic cooktop. Customer Rating: Summary: Can do! Comment: The Granite Ware 21-Quart Covered Preserving Canner with Rack is a light-weight, lidded pot with a steel canning rack. As promised, the rack holds seven quart jars and with a little ingenuity, it can hold nine pint jars.
This canner is larger than most burners and may cause stovetop surface stains when used for extended periods. It cleans easily, holds the temperature and seems well constructed for such an inexpensive piece.
The graphic on the Amazon product page shows the canner with the rack lifted up and supported by the edge of pot. I was a tad nervous about lifting seven filled quart jars but the rack, though light-weight, was up to the task.
The only issue I have is with the height. To immerse seven one-quart jars with two inches of water above the lids means splashing or overflow will happen. I found no work-around for this problem but, for someone like me whose needs are limited (about 100 jars per season) this canner is a great addition.
If storage space was limited in this household, I would have an additional issue with the size of the canner. That's not a problem for me but it could be a consideration.
For those considering purchasing this as a stockpot as well as a canner, look elsewhere. The steel and enamel coating are too thin for anything beyond boiling water.
I am glad I made this purchase, it suits our purposes well.
Customer Rating: Summary: This has been great. Comment: This product has worked great for me. I am not a person who has a lot of time to can, so this simple canner has worked great. Customer Rating: Summary: Granite canner Comment: Great new canner..for water bath...My only complaint, is the rack will only fit 6 jars of certain type jars...If you buy their brand then it will fit 7...When im canning large amounts I want to at least can 7 quarts at a time...So i switched and used an old rack out of a pressure canner...it may look different but works fine, and now i can 7 jars at a time when water bathing food...
Very pleased with canner itself.... Customer Rating: Summary: Granite Ware Canner Comment: I absolutely love this canner. I've done 61 quarts of tomatoes. So it got a work out. And the price was excellent
