Round pots waste the corners; this one is 521 mm long and 292 mm across, which is why fifteen one quart jars fit in two layers with room for the water to move around them. It holds 49 litres brim full, the plate is 1.5 mm of 304 stainless, and the bottom is flat so it sits square on gas or on the top of a wood stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo racks come in the carton. The lower one keeps the glass off the base, away from the direct heat, and the second sits on top of the first layer of jars so a second layer can go above it. The handles pull off for washing and storage, and the lid drops on closely enough to bring a full pot to the boil without a long wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower rack keeps glass off direct heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond rack carries a full upper layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFifteen 1 quart jars in a single batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable stainless handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-fitting flat lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5 mm 304 stainless, brushed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJams, jellies, pickles, chutneys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone fruit, berries, sauerkraut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a pressure canner; not for low-acid foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVevor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJars per batch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 1 quart jars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJar size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.95 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCanner capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304 stainless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlate thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e521 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e292 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.9 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRacks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 stacking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetachable stainless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat gas and wood stoves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMethod\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater bath high-acid foods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for beans, vegetables or meat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a water bath canner, which means the contents never go above boiling point. Low-acid foods such as beans, plain vegetables and meat need the higher temperature a pressure canner reaches. Keep this one for jams, jellies, pickles, chutneys, fruit and other high-acid preserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it work on my stove?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker lists gas and wood stovetops, and the bottom is flat and brushed so it sits square on either. At 521 mm long it is wider than a single domestic burner, so plan on it bridging two, and check your cooktop's own guidance on oversized pots before you fill it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy are there two racks?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne does a job the other cannot. The bottom rack holds the jars up off the base, away from the direct heat, so the glass is not sitting on hot steel. The second rack goes on top of the first layer of jars and gives the second layer something flat to stand on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow many jars really fit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen one quart jars, which is fifteen at 0.95 L each, run as two layers with the second rack in place. Smaller jars pack in more tightly. Leave enough water above the top layer to cover it, and do not fill so high that it boils over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I look after the stainless?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water and a mild detergent, then dry it properly, especially after hard water. Skip the steel wool and anything chlorine based, both of which mark 304 stainless over time. Take the handles off to wash them and store the racks inside the pot with the lid on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OV Supplies","offers":[{"title":"15 jar","offer_id":49072515743976,"sku":"OVS-WC-15-15-jar","price":279.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3136\/4840\/files\/15-jar-water-bath-canner-w1.jpg?v=1789600071","url":"https:\/\/shop.ovsupplies.com.au\/products\/15-jar-water-bath-canner","provider":"OVSupplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
