Can you use it for pressure canning?

mine came broken and was returned so I cannot say if it would hold up to the weight of the pressure cooker. I think the grates may be too brittle or weak to hold that kind of weight.

Manufacturer claimed you can but I never tried. In my case it never worked as the pressure smoker. Lid never sealed proper.

I don't believe so, it is designed for cooking not canning. You might fit a few 1/2 pint jars in it. Don't recall it saying anything about canning with it the booklet.

There are two kinds of canners, water bath and pressure canners. These jars can be used in both types. However, I do not know if the jars can be used in a regular pressure cooker. My pressure canner is a large pressure cooker with a wire insert that holds the jars up from the bottom of the canner and keeps them from bumping together. In other words, it is a kind of pressure cooker designed especially for canning.

No, you need a stove-top pressure cooker for canning, electric ones don't reach a high enough pressure.

I don't believe so but the jar broke and I discarded it so I can't tell you for sure other than you can't use the lid it comes with for canning and it doesn't have a good seal, it has a paper insertin the lid. My grandmother had the original version of this jar 50 years ago and it had a good tin lid and strong bailing wire around the lid to lift it with. This doesn't.

Yes, but you don't need it unless you are doing a lot of canning at 5 or 10 pounds of pressure because the canner comes with a regulator that tells you when you hit 15 pounds. When the regulator jiggles just back off to whatever pressure you want to use is indicated on the gauge.

Absolutely not!!!..You need a pressure canner for meat. Don't even attempt it.

According to the website only the 10 quart model can be used for pressure canning and this is the 8 quart model. http://www.fagoramerica.com/cookware/pressure_cookers/splendid_line/splendid

This cooker does not have a gauge showing PSI and you cannot build up pressure and then start timing. It is too small for canning jars. I have a 7 qt pressure canner that works great.

this is not a canning pressure cooker! I purchased the Presto 16 qt pressure canner for canning. I believe you can purchase it here on Amazon! Do not buy the Deni it is a dangerous piece of junk

If you attempt to "can" food in this cooker be absolutely sure you read the recipe you are using carefully. This cooker operates at 15 psi and cannot be reduced to 5 or 10 psi. If you live at an altitude that recommends 10 psi for home canning then this is NOT THE COOKER FOR YOU!!!! You can compensate for the increased pressure but this requires experience ...... talk to someone who lives near you who is known to KNOW what they are doing when it comes to "canning" !!!!! Hope this helps!

Yes, in fact that is the main reason I purchased this. I used it for canning, and it worked great on my glass top stove.

No, this is a pressure cooker and does not get to the required heat for any form of safe pressure canning.

I've never done that, only use it for canning. Not saying it can't be done.

yes. this is solely a water bath canner (or could be used as a very large stock pot), definitely not able to be used as a pressure canner. a pressure canner is a completely different piece of equipment.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can sealer", unless you're referring to the type of machine used to seal a lid on all-metal cans. If so, then no you can't. These glass jars are intended for canning foods using either a water bath method or pressure canning method.
