Kitchen Crop Steam Canner with Temperature Indicator (Stainless Steel Steam Canner + Tools)

This steamer I so much cooler to use than my water bath canner. Of course, the middle of the summer is the hottest time to can unless doing early in the morning. Even though we have air conditioning and the range hood in high, it was just too hot to can on those 100 degree days. This canner is the ideal solution. So easy to use and uses less water. The temp gauge is great to make sure the product will be safely canned. Easy to assembly. I was initially concerned about the lid in the top. I looked at a different steamer with handles on lid and bottom and riled it out because there was no temp gauge. I love The temp gauge. To my surprise, the lid is okay to lift the top without a pot holder. Of course I would try carefully and have a pot holder nearby. This steamer has a small hole in the back side that should be pointed away from you. I thought that would be hard to figure out and then realized in the top of the cover is the brand name and the exhaust hole is on the opposite side. I am still working to keep the red arrow attached to the gauge as it keeps falling off and it is so tiny and could easily be lost. Probably assembly error on my part. I set the little red arrow aside till I figure this out. This gauge has letters rather than temps which is okay as you just need to set the gauge and be sure to read the manual for explanation. I just canned a batch of chutney and it was so much easier. I liked that I did not have to lug the full canning pot to the sink to empty. I would have to wait till it cooled down (sometimes Overnight) to empty. Great steamer too. I had a huge Napa cabbage that I wanted to make stuffed cabbage. I cut off the bottom of the cabbage and removed the leaves and placed in the steamer and will assembly the cabbage rolls when the cabbage cools. I look forward to steaming corn on cob or dumplings or whole cauliflower or broccoli. I don’t have to break in little pieces to fit into our small stove top steamer. Game changers. If you ever water-bath canned and gave iPad or few tired Of the water bath Processes, try this steamer. Even though I have all the extra canning tools that came with this steam Canner, It is alway worth it to have extras.

Works perfectly once you set the temperature dial and mark the setting.

This canner works amazing. Throughly impressed. So much less water use then water bath canning. Had all the utensils , instructions. The only thing I didnt like is the arrow for the temp gauge does not clip on well. Hubby had to fix it.

Having been trained in food preservation, I am delighted with this steam canner which allows me to can using research proven, hot water bath recipes while using identical times. Being able to use about a quarter of the water used in boiling water canners saves on water and energy, and is lighter and safer to transport between sink and stove. Win-win!

Beautiful product well made

❤️this sooo much , better than water bath! It’s faster less water only 2.5 quarts , sealed with steam. It can do 9 half pts, 8 pts or 7qts

I love this steamer! Much faster than regular water bathing!

I’ve only used one time it works for me

For a senior, it’s easy to move this and dump the water out. Traditional water bath canners are heavy.

It fits both the talk and short canning jars. It seems to be well made. I did not find the handle for the lid difficult to assemble.
