Concord Stainless Steel Turbo Steam Canner 20-Quart — 7 Quart / 8 Pint Capacity, Triply Bottom

The Concord 20‑quart Stainless Steel Turbo Steam Canner is a full canning kit that uses steam to safely process up to seven quart or eight pint jars in one cycle.

This all‑in‑one canner set combines a tall stainless steel steamer pot, reinforced jar rack, tray and seven quart mason jars so you can preserve fruits, vegetables and sauces without buying separate parts. Built with a triply (tri‑ply) bottom for more even steam distribution and silicone‑wrapped handles to protect your hands from heat, the unit is designed for frequent use on gas, electric and induction cooktops.

How does this steam canner differ from a traditional water bath?

Steam canning uses the vapors rising from a covered pot to reach the temperatures needed for many high‑acid foods, while occupying less water and heating faster than a full water immersion bath. Concord’s extra‑tall lid fully surrounds jars so steam circulates evenly for reliable processing.

• Extra‑tall lid design fits and surrounds up to seven quart or eight pint jars.
• Triply (tri‑ply) bottom spreads heat uniformly across the base.
• Rack holds jars upright for 360° steam exposure.
• Suitable for high‑acid preserves, jams, jellies and pickled foods per manufacturer guidelines.

What parts are included and what are their key benefits?

The Concord set ships as an 11‑piece kit that gives you the core tools needed to start canning immediately. Each component is sized and finished for regular use and simple cleaning.

• 20‑quart stainless steel steamer pot with triply bottom for stability and even heat.
• Thick 3 mm stainless steel jar rack designed to securely hold jars in place.
• Steamer tray to lift jars off the pot bottom and allow even steam flow.
• Seven glass quart mason jars included so you can begin canning right away.

Is this canner safe and easy to handle?

Safety and ease‑of‑use were considered in the build: the pot features silicone‑wrapped handles that reduce heat transfer, and the heavy gauge rack keeps jars stable during processing. The unit’s dimensions and sturdy construction make it manageable for two‑person handling when full.

• Silicone‑wrapped handles for improved grip and lower surface temperature.
• Reinforced 3 mm wire rack secures jars during steam cycles.
• Triply base offers even, predictable heating and reduces hot spots.
• Induction‑compatible design works on most modern cooktops.

How many jars can I process at once and what are the size limits?

The canner’s tall lid and rack capacity let you process up to eight pint jars or up to seven quart jars in a single steam cycle, depending on jar layout. The rack holds jars upright to maximize exposure to steam for consistent results.

• Capacity: up to 8 pint jars or 7 quart jars per load.
• Jar spacing maintained by the 3 mm wire rack for safe stacking and circulation.
• Suitable jar height accommodated by the extra‑tall lid design.
• Set dimensions: approximately 12.6" x 12.3" for kitchen fit considerations.

Who is this for: The Concord Stainless Steel Turbo Steam Canner is aimed at home preservers who want a durable, ready‑to‑use canning kit that performs well on induction and conventional stovetops. It's a practical choice for hobbyist gardeners, small‑batch producers and anyone seeking a space‑efficient alternative to large water‑bath canners, provided they follow official canning guidelines for their food types.
