Ball EasyCanner Electric Water Bath Canner, 21-Quart Capacity, Automated Heating, Multicooker & Steamer Functionality

Just used this today for the first time Saves soooo much time!! I don't have to wait forever for the water to get hot, then eyeball the water for boiling, and then wait for it to boil, before setting a timer.I dont sanitize my jars in this. I wash them w hot soapy water, rinse it hot water, put them on a cookie sheet and pop them into the oven while the oven is preheating at 220 degrees so jars gradually heat up w the oven. I have a flat top stove as well so a big canning pot on it always had me worried. When this went on sale i snagged it up. Also saves me room on the stove. I don't have to fit a big pot plus another one side by side and now just put my cookie sheet with jars on the stove for easy filling.

4.7 stars at first look. Appears to be high quality. Nice features like the pot lifts from the base, flip-up water drain spout, and a nice steam plate that fits in a groove on the pot, but can also be used on top of jars in o use it.the water bath to reduce splashing when at a rolling boil. I have a glass cook top, so knowing I am able to can quart and pint jars without worrying if the total weight will break the cooktop makes it well worth the investment. The only negative: I had to purchase a seperate canning rack with handles to lift jars out of the water bath.

Can not brag on this product enough!! It is so easy to use and easy clean up! The size is large with the capacity to can 10 pints at a time. It’s very sturdy and great value for the price! I love the dial on the front and then it walks you through the next steps letting you know when it’s ready.

Worked perfectly. Used it to can preserves. Can be used to make large batch soups and stews. Frees up a burner on your already crowded stove. No wasted heat from stove burner. I love it and will most likely buy a second.

I have been canning for more than forty years and have enjoyed all of the processes involved - right - it’s where science meets art meets the physical endurance of any athlete! Ha! After aging and injuries took hold canning was such a struggle - the lifting - the steamed up kitchen making it harder to see and just acclimate to the extra heat. Lifting that old enamel canner - just near to impossible now. Then, I stumbled across this Ball canner!I have to say this canner is the bomb!! I used it for the first time this week and went to town on several recipes! The timer is perfect, the display panel is good. Even with eyesight that is not as good as it used to be - I can see the display well. The instruction book is your friend with this - and very well written! If I could make one suggestion to Ball it would be to put the instructions on one “laminated card” so that when you refer to it again and again while canning - you’re not getting it wet!! The canner worked exactly as expected and did all the things the booklet said it would. One thing I missed but was clearly in the booklet: when the canner is processing a batch - it sometimes sounds like it’s turning off or slowing down (you’ll notice it’s not bubbling the same). . Initially I thought it was broken- nope! The canner knows its temperature and to stay at temperature it slows itself down (this is in the booklet). Another awesome quality about this canner is that the kitchen doesn’t become a sauna! It’s such a good solid piece of equipment. The spigot is fantastic! Zero lifting!! ZERO lifting! I’ve not had it long enough to speak about rust resistance however I did put the vinegar in the water as suggested bball in the booklet. To test the canner out I did several different recipes and they all set just fine and processed very well. No issues in a single batch out of seven plus recipes. I wasn’t sure when I was purchasing this product if it would indeed be worth the money - hands down the best thing I’ve bought in years!!! It truly is a game changer. The best part: I had thought my canning days were gone - another favorite thing I’d have to let go of because of how much I could no longer do physically. This technology and brilliant design of this canner has made it all possible again! So thank you to the design folks at Ball who had the vision to make a product that would respond to the needs of their consumers. Great job. To anyone reading these reviews - I’ve learned a lot from the reviews here - the take away from my review to you - is: don’t wait! You’ve earned this canner ;) and if you’re a canner you know what I mean. Just get it lol !!

I cannot recommend the Ball EasyCanner Electric Water Bath Canner enough! As someone who’s been canning for years, this device has completely transformed my process. The electric setup eliminates the hassle of monitoring a stove-top pot, and the preset temperature controls make it foolproof—no more guessing if the water is at the right boil! The large capacity allowed me to process multiple jars at once, saving me so much time. Plus, the automatic shut-off feature gives me peace of mind, especially when multitasking in the kitchen.

I love this Canner. I will say that it is pretty big, I think it can hold 7 pints, so it does take up a lot of space on the counter. However, it is very portable and has a side drain spout that allows me to just slide the canner to my sink and drain the water. It also would be great for cooking large batches of soup or pasta, it is multifunctional.

I love this for canning. However, it can also be used as a big slow cooker type pot. I wish there was a stainless steel spout attachment I could purchase so that I am not slow cooking a hot plastic spout in my food. Other than that I love this set up.
