KITCHEN CROP VKP1130 Harvest Stainless Steel Multi-Use Canner with Temperature Indicator

Made some fantastic recipes, that have turned out very well. The instructions are clear to follow. And left you feeling safe with the process.

I used the appliance to have jars of tomatoes canned

It took me a year of going back and forth on do I need this or do I just want this, do I want to spend that kind of money, is it really worth the money, will I use it enough to justify getting it, going on and on and on. I received it in the mail yesterday and used it immediately. I am here to tell you YES it is worth the money! I should have ordered it a lot sooner! It is worth every cent! I love that it has a temperature indicator knob to take the guess work out of letting you know when the water is up to the right temperature and when to start timing after you have added your jars. I like the glass lid that allows you to see what's going on inside the pot at all times. It's lightweight and easy to handle. The instructions are very clear and precise. I like that it's not only a water bath canner but a steam canner as well. As for the "big yellow sticker" that many of the other reviews complained about, the makers of this product must have listed because mine did not come with one. Just goes to show the company cares about it's customers. Two thumbs up for them. I used it twice yesterday and my answer is YES I am very glad I went ahead and got it. It works great with our glass top stove, it has a temperature indicator knob, it has a glass lid, it has a stock pot capacity of 20 quarts, and it's a water bath canner and a steam bath canner. I think it's worth it. When I attempted to use the galvanized canners the racks always rusted making the water rusty and the canner itself was not good or recommended for our stove. So that's my take on this item.

This is a fantastic canner. Heats faster on my glass flat top electric stove than my regular cooking pots and simmers vigourously on low for 3 hours without needing water added every half hour. I usually only top it up after an hour and a half of simmering. The temperature indicator on the handle of the lid is very useful and works consistently. I’ve canned 22 litres of beets and 22 litres of green beans this summer and love it! My only complaint is that it holds 7 narrow litre jars. If I want to use quart jars or litre jars with wide or “gem” size mouths, I can only fit 6 in the canner. But I guess that’s the price to pay for an efficient, flat-bottom, stainless steel canner that fits on my stove element. It’s of very durable construction.

Very easy to use, guage works well and the pot is huge and has come in handy for more than just steam canning. It's made from good heavy stainless steel.

This pot replaces my 50 year old granite ware pot. I love that I can steam can my preserves. It is so much easier than manoeuvring a heavy pot of water from sink to stove and vice versa. I loved that it easily fit 7 quart/litre jars when steam canning. I preserved 100 lbs of peaches, many jars of pears, pickles and relishes with no breakage and perfect sealing everytime. The invertible rack allows you to waterbath or steam can. The rack and pot are stainless so no more rusting. In addition, the pot itself is solid and would be great for large batches of soup etc.

Love it! Great for water bath canning and cooking lobsters. The glass lid makes it easy to see what's happening in the pot without lifting the lid and dropping the temperature. Feels nice and sturdy.
