Granite Ware 21-Quart Enamel Water Bath Canning Set — 9-Piece Starter Kit with Rack & Tools, Domed Lid

The Granite Ware 9-piece enamelware water bath canning set is a 21-quart, American-made starter kit with a domed lid, rack, colander and nine essential canning tools for processing up to seven quart jars.

This all-in-one canner bundle combines a roomy 21-quart enamel-on-steel kettle with the tools needed to begin water bath preserving at home. Built to heat quickly and hold a vigorous boil, the set includes a 7-jar rack and specially coated hand tools sized for safe handling. It’s a practical kit for making jams, pickles, fruit preserves and other high-acid canned goods—just avoid glass cooktops because the pot has a non-flat bottom.

How much can I process at once with this Granite Ware canner?

The canner’s 21-quart capacity is designed to accommodate up to seven quart jars standing upright on the included rack. That capacity gives you a single-batch yield suitable for most home cooks who make preserves or pickles in moderate volume.

• Holds up to seven standard quart jars.
• Domed lid promotes even boiling and steam circulation.
• 21-quart volume (overall 10" H x 15.25" W x 15.25" D) fits most stovetop burners.
• 7-jar rack keeps jars lifted for safe processing.

What tools come with the 9-piece canning kit and how do they help?

The kit contains the basic tools needed to safely fill, lift and handle hot jars: a colander, funnel, jar lifter, tongs, lid wrench and a magnetic lid lifter, plus the rack and lid. Each tool is designed or coated to resist heat and make routine canning steps easier and more secure.

• 9-inch colander for rinsing produce and draining small batches.
• Wide-mouthed funnel reduces spills when filling jars.
• Jar lifter and tongs with coated handles protect hands and improve grip.
• Magnetic lid lifter and lid wrench speed up sealing and handling lids safely.

Is this canner safe for my stovetop and how should I clean it?

The Granite Ware canner is made from enamel-on-steel and works well on gas and electric coil stovetops; it is not suited to glass or ceramic flat-top ranges because the base is not flat. After use, hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel finish and tool coatings.

• Compatible with gas and electric coil burners.
• Not for glass or ceramic smooth-top cooktops—do not use on those surfaces.
• Hand wash the pot and tools to maintain enamel and coated handles.
• Domed lid and loop handles provide secure, heat-conscious handling.

How durable and practical is the Granite Ware construction?

The pot is built with enamel fused to steel for quick, efficient heating and a durable surface that resists rust when cared for properly. Thick loop handles on the canner and coated tool grips are intended to make lifting and transporting safer during hot, wet processing sessions.

• Enamel-on-steel body heats efficiently and resists corrosion when dried thoroughly.
• Coated tool handles stay cooler and improve control while handling jars.
• Domed lid traps heat to help reach and maintain a steady boil faster.
• Made in the USA and sized for standard home canning batches.

Who is this for: Home cooks, gardeners and small-scale preservers who want a ready-to-use, American-made water bath canner with the primary tools included. It’s a good match for beginners and experienced preservers who process jams, jellies, pickles and other high-acid foods on gas or electric coil stovetops. If you have a glass or ceramic smooth-top range, choose a flat-bottom canner instead.
