Best canning container? How to choose?

[ad_1]

To choose the best canning container, you should look for one that is deep enough for the size of jar or jars you want to use and large enough to hold as many jars as possible. When canning, you need to be able to submerge your jars completely, which means you need a pot that’s also deep enough to fit a small rack at the bottom. You should also look for a pot that you can fit several jars into at once, without them touching.

One of the first things you should look for in a pot is its depth, taking into account the size of the jars you are about to use. You should look for a pot that includes a rack that you can place at the bottom, although you may be able to use a rack you already have for this purpose. As you look at different pots, look for one that is tall enough for the short rack and still has the cans upright while covered in an inch or two (2.5 to 5 cm) of water. You have to submerge the jars completely, and a pot that isn’t tall enough can boil over during canning.

While you’re considering dishes, you should also make sure you choose one that’s large enough for your purposes. You should be able to fit a number of jars into the pot without them touching. If you’re using a smaller pot, you can include fewer jars at a time, but that extends the amount of time you’ll be spending canning. You should choose a pot that is large enough to hold multiple jars, but not too large for the stovetop burner you plan to use.

If you can’t find a canning jar you like or don’t want to spend the money on one, you can always use any type of jar you already have that fits your size needs for canning. You can use a crock pot rack or a dehydrator or cooling rack to place in the bottom. If you’re looking for a pressurized jar, you should find one that fits your size needs and provides you with the internal pressure controls you prefer. These types of cookware are used for low-acid and more specialized canning of foods than double boiler cookware.
