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

When calibrating this steam canner, the needle indicator went past the marked increments on the dial. I contacted the company and they said it can go well past the marked letters, and to proceed with the test. The company did say to check the steam hole with an instant read thermometer when it reached the 10 minute mark of testing and it should be between 209 and 212 degrees. I did this and it was 211 degrees. I feel this is the best indicator of safe canning temperature. This canner is so much easier than a hot water bath, used so much less water and heated up pretty quickly. I did make a dot on the indicator with a marker where the high temp was reached as the little red arrow does not stay in place. The company was very quick to respond when I contacted them. This canner is a great value for the money and I am looking forward to preserving summers bounty with it.

Excellent! Use all the time in summer for the non pressure cann8ng needs.

This stainless steel steam canner is exactly what I needed! It heats up quickly and works perfectly on my induction cooktop, which can be hard to find with some canners. The temperature indicator is a great feature—it takes the guesswork out of canning and ensures everything is processed at the right temperature. It’s also lightweight compared to traditional water bath canners, making it easier to handle when full. Cleanup is simple, and the quality feels durable and well-made. If you're looking for a reliable, easy-to-use steam canner, this is a great choice. Highly recommend!

UPDATE: I've changed my review from 2 stars to 5 stars after receiving excellent customer service from the company. After exchanging emails, I was told that some water sources (in my case, well water) contain particles that attach themselves to the pan and appear rusted. A simple solution is a good cleaning with a product called Bar Keepers Friend. Do not use steel wool though, just a regular sponge with a srubby side. The steam canner performed very well in my 1st run of jelly. I'd highly recommend the canner and the company. You can also use the pot to cook food in it as it's rated for such. Bonus! This canner is easier to use than a water bath canner and makes sterilizing jars simple and safe. It's a keeper! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ORIGINAL REVIEW: Rust spots developed on the interior of the bottom pot during the initial calibration. Stainless steel should not rust. The pot did not boil dry at all. See photos. My elevation is not to high above sea level and the gauge needle went off the chart, which I suppose is the maximum. This was confusing. I contacted the company's support on their website, we will see how they respond. I really wanted to love this product but the rust issues are worrisome.

My wife saw one on YouTube and wanted to give it a go. She really likes it and uses it in conjunction with her standard water bath canner. Less water and less heat.

Great product, simple and effective.

Seems to be good quality of construction. Directions were simple to understand. I have only used it for jelly so far. Was easier and faster than water bath.

Love my steam canner. Only bad thing about this one is the dial on the handle doesn’t seem to want to stay attached and pops off. I’m sure it will end up lost.

Gute Qualität, funktioniert auch einwandfrei auf meinem Gasherd

This is the one to buy! I did purchase the cheaper version and it's not held it's shape after dropping it! This one, however is definitely sturdier and just by picking it up you can feel the quality. As my Mother would say, "buy nice, or buy twice". I use this steam canner 3 or 4 times a week. It can hold 8 pints easily. I am on a well, and it takes less water than a water bath canner. I'm only 4' 10" and a senior, and I can easily lift it onto and off my glass top stove without help. I don't need to worry about breaking the glass on my stove and it takes up less storage space as well. 5 stars? Should be 10 stars!

Love this steamer. It stabilizes at the same temp my pressure canner does. Works well, quick to steam.

This is my second steam canner. The first one was aluminum, I don’t recommend wasting money on aluminum, it lasted less than 2 years and it was gently used. This stainless steel one is a beautiful workhorse, I love it.

J’adore ce produit. J’avais le modèle entièrement en aluminium que j’aimais beaucoup mais j’ai dû le changer pour ce nouveau modèle en acier inoxydable puisque j’ai changé ma cuisinière pour une modèle à induction. Cette méthode de conserve à la vapeur pour les produits acides est formidable, moins d’eau, plus léger, plus facile à manipuler et à laver et tout aussi sécuritaire! Sincèrement, c’est un excellent produit. Par contre, maintenant, l’indicateur de température est modifié. L’idée est excellente mais je constate quelques désagréments: lorsque l’on fait le test pour l’ajustement de l’indicateur, l’aiguille dépasse de beaucoup les lettres de l’indicateur. Donc beaucoup plus difficile de se repérer. La flèche rouge qui s’attache sur l’indicateur et qui est là pour nous aider et marquer l’emplacement, se détache vraiment très très facilement. On ne peut pas si fier. Personnellement, j’ai pris une photo et marquer avec un marqueur permanent pour m’aider. Mais j’aurais aimé utiliser la flèche rouge et un tableau avec un lettrage qui va plus loin sur le cadran pour m’aider à me repérer. C’est pour cette raison que je n’ai pas mis 5 étoiles. Ne vous empêchez pas de vous procurer ce produit, c’est quand même vraiment génial. Faites des commentaires sur leurs sites et peut-être que ça aidera à améliorer le produit à l’avenir! J’ai fait cette démarche et j’ai été très bien reçu.
