Its aluminum construction keeps the unit light, the cool-touch handles reduce risk during handling, and the integrated temperature gauge removes guesswork so you know when to start timing your process. Ideal for jams, pickles, salsas and other high-acid foods, it accepts up to seven quart jars or eight pint jars per batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the built-in temperature indicator simplify timing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe temperature indicator in the lid knob shows when the canner has reached the target processing temperature so you don’t need to guess or watch a stove dial.
