Kitchen Crop Steam Canner with Temperature Indicator (Aluminum Steam Canner)

This worked as described and I love the fact that it only uses 2.5 quarts of water. The process is so much quicker and easier.

I will be making comparisons to a traditional water bath canner (like the granite ware ones), and will state whether it’s a pro or con. This canner uses a lot less water, which in turn, requires less energy and time to heat (pro). It’s lightweight, lighter than my granite ware even without water and especially with water. That means emptying the water after canning is much easier (pro). It has a max processing time of 45 minutes. It shouldn’t be used to process over that time, or the canner may run dry and cause damage. That makes it tricky when canning tomato products, which can take 35-50 minutes under 1000ft (processing time gets longer the higher the elevation). I personally do not risk it, and only can pickles and fruit in the steam canner, and use the water bath canner for tomatoes. If all you’re canning is pickles and fruits, this is the superior choice. Rather than waiting 30-45 minutes to heat a water bath canner for something that only takes 10 minutes to process, this is the better solution. If you’re only canning tomatoes, don’t buy this canner (con). Size wise, this holds 7 quarts, same as my water bath canner. Some miscellaneous comments: The indicator knob on top has an odd design. You’re supposed to calibrate the canner before you use it the first time and at the beginning of every new canning season. There are instructions in the manual on how to do that. But when you look at the indicator, it has those green zones for your elevation for when to start timing; those don’t mean anything, they’re useless background. You have to make a mark when you calibrate when it’s full of steam, then you start the timer. I question why they added those green zones when it actually has no meaning. (as shown in the picture, I marked it too early, but I know to start time when it goes past the line I made) I’ve used this canner about five times, and the inside changes color based on where the water was sitting. The rack and the bottom pan look different than when I initially received it and used it for the first time. It seems to be just a visual change, and hasn’t caused any problems.

This streamer is amazing, it's so much faster to sterilize and can, it uses less water, it's easier to remove the jars without getting burnt and it's light enough if I need to move it with water still in it I don't have to go get my husband. This is my new preferred method to can high acidic foods.

If you like to can veggies, fruit etx-this is what you need! Easy to use. MUCH better than large pots of very hot water. It steams, is perfect for all sizes of cans and uses 1 gallon or less of water.

I wanted to start canning to try and save a little money and hopefully cut out some of the over processed foods. I have a really small galley style kitchen so I was not looking forward to buying a big water bath canner and trying to process a lot of cans all at once. When I was looking into canning best practices I ran across steam canning, and decided to give it a go. I ordered my Victroio and have used it three times now. It is great! I can make small batches of jellies, jams and sauces in the morning clean up and be ready to cook lunch and dinner. You can use the same recipes that you would use for water bath canning, they do need to have at least a 10 minute process time. So if you are looking to dip your toes into the canning world this is a good place to start.

It makes canning so much easier. Way less weight to tote from sink to stove.

This steam canner is fantastic, as well as the company! Originally purchased in 2023, in 2025 the gauge stopped working and I was promptly sent another one. This season when canning strawberry rhubarb I thought there was water escaping from the lid. Nope I had a pin hole in the base pan. Called the manufacturer sent a screen shot of purchase and the pin hole last week. Once again, they promptly sent a replacement, got it today. I can honestly say this has been the best experience for a product that has a 5 year warranty! I was dreading the thought of returning to water bath canning.

I bought this steam canner to replace a much older model I'd used for years. There wasn't much left of it and I had considered purchasing a water bath canner this time around. There's always questions of food safety with steam canners and I have to admit, though I'd canned with one for years and rarely had a problem other than an occasional jar breaking during processing or one never sealing, I was starting to doubt myself. But as I clicked "purchase" on a water bath canner, I started thinking about my back issues and hauling a bunch of water to and fro, and the fact that I need a new oven and I want a ceramic top to replace my gas, and there are studies that have found steam canning to be safe when done correctly. So, I cancelled my water bath canner order and sent out for this one. Within two weeks, I had canned around 60 quarts of applesauce (My kids love the stuff with their dinner and people kept throwing apples my way. ) and didn't have a single issue. Everything sealed, nothing broke during processing, the canner was easy to use and everything processed beautifully. I love the gauge at the top that tells me when to start timing according to my elevation and I love how little water sputtering there was (my last canner spit water everywhere, even when I had filled it correctly), and I love how easy it was to move and clean and refill. Yeah, I made the right choice. Steam canning has served me well and I think it will be even better now with this truly awesome canner.

This steam canner is absolutely fantastic! It has made the canning process faster, easier, and far more efficient than traditional water bath methods. It heats up quickly and uses much less water, which means I can start and finish a batch in a fraction of the time. The even steam distribution ensures that everything seals perfectly every time — no more guessing or reprocessing jars. The construction is solid and well-made, with a sturdy base and a clear lid that makes it easy to monitor the steam level. The built-in temperature gauge is a great feature, taking the guesswork out of when it’s ready to start timing. Cleanup is also a breeze since there’s no huge pot of boiling water to deal with. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and works perfectly on my glass-top stove. Whether I’m canning jams, pickles, or tomatoes, the results have been consistently excellent.

This is my favourite bit of equipment. Forget those heavy pans full of boiling water, forget putting the oven on to sterilise jars, this does the job in minutes. No more water bathing. Omg, this is just great, it’s a big big storage wise but vest la vie. It’s very lightweight and when it arrives you wonder what your money was spent on, however, you soon learn that it’s lightweight shell is a bonus in the end.

Bra produkt och mycket mer bekvämt än att vattenkonservera! Lite svårt att se ångan då hålet är precis i kanten nedantill, hade varit bättre om ångan släpptes ut från toppen, men det fungerar. Bra - mycket mer bekvämt än att vatten konservera.

I’m in the country women’s association in Australia and I make a LOT of jams and pickles etc.. this is convenient and easy to use.. lightweight and easy for re sanitizing jars as you are on the go. Recommend you put marbles in the base incase you get low on water.. makes a noise. Or the base could warp if it boils dry.

This is an amazing canner
