5. Sealing Ring
The sealing ring (Fig. F) fits into the canner cover
and forms a pressure-tight seal between the cover and
body during canning and cooking.
6. Overpressure Plug
The rubber overpressure plug (Fig. G) is located in the
canner cover. It will automatically pop out and release
steam in case the vent pipe becomes blocked and pressure
cannot be released normally through the vent pipe.
7. Canning/Cooking Rack
When canning, the rack (Fig. H) is placed in the
bottom of the canner to hold the jars off the bottom
of the canner. Always use the rack when canning.
When cooking, the rack is used for steaming foods.
It can also be used to hold foods such as vegetables
out of the cooking liquid, allowing several foods to
be cooked at the same time without an intermingling
of flavours. When it is desirable to blend flavours, do
not use the rack.
8. Stainless steel clad base
The pressure canner is constructed of heavy-gauge
aluminum with a stainless steel clad base (Fig. I)
for fast, even heating. It is specially designed for
induction* ranges but also works on gas, electric coil,
and smooth-top ranges.
* Portable burners may not be suitable for canning. They may not have enough wattage to
pressurize a fully loaded canner and/or they may not be able to support the weight of a fully
loaded canner. Refer to the owner’s manual for your portable heat source for weight restrictions
and other information.
The canner weighs 8 kg (16 lb) when filled with 3 quarts of water. When used for pressure
canning, a fully loaded canner will weigh up to 21 kg (46 lb). When used for the boiling water
method, it will weigh up to 24 kg (52 lb).
