Customer Reviews

No Side Handles - potentially Sharp edges
When we ordered this canner a few weeks ago, the picture clearly showed side handles. It also was being sold directly by Amazon.com instead of by a Marketplace vendor.

When we received the canner, we were disappointed to discover that there were no side handles...despite the picture on the label to the contrary. Apparently, Columbian Home Products/Granite Ware changed the design on this size canner to include a wide flange completely around the pot.

The wide flange would have been OK had it not had some sharp/rough edges on the underneath side. Since we were concerned that we might cut our fingers while carrying the pot full of water from the sink to the stove, we returned the pot. Amazon.com did make it easy for us to do so.

The pictures for this product on the Amazon.com website are inconsistent. Some show the side handles while some do not. Frustrating.

Note that side handles are available on the 21 quart size canner. Unfortunately, that size only holds 7 quart jars while the 33 quart size will hold 9 quart jars.

Cheaply Made
The pot I received was packed without any cushioning material whatsoever, so the fragile porcelain covering was chipped in several places and now obviously rusting after only a couple uses. When I pick the pot up, it feels flimsy (I weighed it at six pounds empty), and it feels like it is going to cut my fingers with its sharp edges. Despite all that, I am going to keep the pot, because I can can 9 quarts at a time with it for a while until it completely rusts through.

Oh My
I have not used or opened this item. It appears to be in great condition. It is a very large pot.
