There’s a level of joy one feels when hearing the plink of the lids as they seal on the jars. There’s also the pride beaming from one’s eyes when gifting that jar of jam, applesauce, salsa, or pickles to a loved one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to being a passion, home canning is food science. Using tested and approved recipes when canning is one part of the safety equation. Using tested and approved canning methods completes that equation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResearchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, funded by a grant from the USDA and the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP), released their findings on the safety of steam canning. Researchers concluded that steam canners can be as safe and effective as water bath canners when properly used to preserve acidified or naturally acidic foods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing the Aluminum Steam Canner is a safe method for canning high acid foods (pH 4.6 or lower). It is also a highly efficient method using considerably less water and energy than water bath canning. Using only two and a half quarts of water to produce the steam, the steam canner comes up to temperature much more quickly than water bath canning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur unique temperature indicator in the top of the lid takes the guesswork out of steam canning. Identify your zone based on your elevation. When the temperature indicator hits the green zone for your elevation begin timing for your recipe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Aluminum Steam Canner is perfect for the person who wants to can fruits, pickles, jam, and other high acid recipes, but doesn’t want to spend all day doing it!\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSDA-funded research has established that steam canners are safe for preserving acidified or naturally acidic foods when following the proper procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing much less water and energy than a water bath canner, the Aluminum Steam Canner is a safe way to can high acid foods (pH 4.6 or lower)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lid’s unique Temperature Indicator eliminates guesswork – just start timing when the needle hits your elevation’s green zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith the Aluminum Steam Canner you can preserve fruits, pickles, jam and other high-acid recipes in a minimum of time!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO GUESSWORK TIMING: Built-In Temperature Indicator with 3 elevation zones makes process timing easy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIME SAVER: Aluminum construction ensures quick heat-up and cool-down times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIGHT CAPACITY: Can process up to 7 quart or 8 pint jars of high-acid foods at one time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEASY AND SAFE: Lightweight design, lower water capacity requirement, and cool-touch handles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not accommodate half gallon jars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaves time and energy – cuts preheating time by 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow water requirements eliminates heavy lifting and messy over-boiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum canning rack included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess 7 quart or 8 pint jars per batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003enot\u003c\/span\u003e accommodate half gallon jars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaves water - uses 80% less water than traditional water bath canning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaves time and energy - cuts preheating time by 50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature indicator on the lid shows exactly when to start processing time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow water requirement eliminates heavy lifting and messy over boiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum canning rack included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\u003cspan size=\"2\" style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Width (Including handles): 16-1\/2”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack Diameter: 11-5\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack Height: 1-1\/4”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Palmer Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54989932003650,"sku":"VKP1054","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/0543\/1362\/files\/1054.jpg?v=1784172356","url":"https:\/\/mercantileonstate.com\/products\/vkp-aluminum-steam-canner","provider":"Mercantile On State","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
