Granite Ware Pressure Canner/Cooker/Steamer, 20-Quart

The Granite Ware Pressure CannerCookerSteamer, 20-Quart has received mixed reviews from customers. Some have had positive experiences, praising its durability and multifunctionality. They have used it for pressure canning and water bath methods and found it to be great and worth the investment. Other customers, however, have had negative experiences with the product. One customer mentioned that the bottom of the canner pitted and developed a hole after just three years of use, which was disappointing Considering the cost and the fact that their previous canner lasted over 20 years. Another customer faced issues with the pressure regulator not working properly due to a tiny wire inside that resembled a staple, which was not mentioned in the instructions and almost ruined a batch of spaghetti sauce. Another customer found it difficult to find replacement gaskets for the canner, and after a full canning season, experienced issues with it coming up to pressure reliably. The customer also noted that the coating inside began to flake off, making it unsuitable for use as a steamer. Despite these negative experiences, there are also customers who have had no complaints and have used the canner over 30 times without any issues.
