Granite Ware enamelware Canning Pot Kit 21.5-Quart — 8-Piece Water-Bath Set with Rack & Tools for Jams

Granite Ware's 21.5-quart enamelware canning pot kit includes a lid, chrome jar rack and a five-piece canning tool set to safely water-bath up to seven quart jars at once.

This enamelware water-bath canner is built for home preserving: a roomy 21.5-quart pot with a snug lid and a rust-resistant chromed steel jar rack, plus tools to make jar handling, filling and sealing neater and safer. The set is practical for beginners and experienced home canners who prefer a straightforward, stovetop water-bath system for high-acid foods like jams, jellies and pickles.

How much can I process in one batch?

The included chrome jar rack holds jars securely and maximizes the pot's capacity so you can run fewer batches. Rack capacity varies with jar size and spacing, letting you choose the right combination for your yields.

• Holds up to 7 one-quart jars
• Or up to 9 pint jars
• Or up to 12 half-pint jars

What tools are included and what do they do?

The five-piece toolset covers the most common canning tasks, reducing the need to buy separate utensils. Each tool is designed to make filling, sealing and handling hot jars more controlled and hygienic.

• Silicone bubble remover and ruler — releases trapped air and checks headspace
• Jar lifter — grips and lifts hot, sterilized jars safely
• Magnetic lid lifter — picks up sterilized lids without touching them
• Jar wrench — tightens or loosens metal screw bands for different jar sizes
• Jar funnel — clear, wide-to-standard mouth for mess-free filling

What materials and care should I expect?

The canner is finished in enamel over steel for good heat distribution and an easy-to-clean surface, while the rack is chromed steel to resist rust during typical canning use. Note that this product is not compatible with glass or induction cooktops.
