The family chef can pride fully serve his or her special recipes year round with that "right from the garden taste" and nutritional value. Stainless steel cookware has been used for generations all around the world due to its resistance to corrosion, scratching and denting.

The heavy duty lift jar rack is included and will hold seven 1-quart, nine 1-pint or twelve half-pint jars. The tempered glass lid allows visibility of products being cooked. The easy jar lift rack is designed to sit on the side of the pot so the jars can be loaded easily and then lowered into the canner: it keeps jars off bottom for full water circulation and is used to remove the jars from the canner.. Review: Very nice water bath canner! - I bought this because I needed a water bath canner with a flat bottom so I could use it on my glass top stove. It works like a charm! I love that the lid is glass, & it has a vent hole. It is a huge pot! It is solid, but it's not so heavy that I was scared about using it on the glass top stove. The jar lifter basket works perfectly also. It holds 12 half pints. I used it for my very first canning of jam. This would also be perfect for that huge pot of chili, beans, or spaghetti for those big family gatherings. Review: I very much like the pot but... - So the Stainless 21.5 QT Water Bath Canner is awesome! I have really been enjoying using the POT. I went from several different sizes of Granite-ware Canners to this one. I love stainless steel. But, here's the thing...the jar rack is impossible. I'm so annoyed with it I am finally writing a review. I burn myself almost every time (weekly) I use this canner with this rack. The rack is flimsy. It's not the right shape for the pot. The handles themselves are always falling into the boiling water. I scared myself today thinking I was going to drop the whole load when I actually picked up this flimsy rack, loaded with 9 pts of pickles, to move it from the stove to the table. Seriously! I could hardly make that short trip with the jars intact. I would like to purchase another rack unless the company has fixed this problem and would like to send me one for free. If not, I would still like to purchase another rack that would fit. Can anybody help me out with that problem? ## Features - COMPATIBILITY: The stainless-steel 21.5 quart pot combined with flat, aluminum encapsulated base is designed for use with gas, electric, and smooth glass top ranges. The base ensures uniform heat distribution, minimizing hot spots that can lead to uneven processing or jar breakage. - DURABILITY: Crafted from high-quality, heavy-duty stainless steel, this canner is built to last, resist corrosion, and handle the rigors of repeated use. - EASY-LIFT JAR RACK: Designed to rest on the sides of the pot so the jars can be loaded easily and then lowered into the canner while keeping jars off the bottom for full water circulation. The heavy-duty stainless steel rack holds (7) 1-quart, (9) 1-pint or (12) half-pint jars - SAFE HANDLING: The riveted stainless-steel handles will stay cool during cooking and provide a sturdy, comfortable grip. - GLASS LID: The tempered glass lid is shatter-resistant and allows easy viewing of the cooking process. - VERSATILITY: Not only for canning, the pot doubles as a large stock pot for cooking soups, stews, or boiling lobsters and corn on the cob. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CS5CH82 | | Best Sellers Rank | #135,538 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #1,679 in Canning Products | | Brand | McSunley | | Brand Name | McSunley | | Capacity | 21.5 Quarts | | Coating Description | Stainless Steel | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,713) | | Date First Available | May 21, 2016 | | Finish Type | Non-Stick | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00815912026204, 10815912026201 | | Included Components | McSunley Stainless Steel Prep N Cook Water Bath Canner | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is Suitable For Stovetop | Yes | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 16.75 x 14 x 9.5 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 14.5 x 14.45 x 11.55 inches | | Item Weight | 8.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | McSunley | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | McSunley Stainless Steel Prep N Cook Water Bath Canner | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Package Weight | 4.51 Kilograms | | Part Number | 620 | | Product Dimensions | 14"D x 12.5"W x 16.5"H | | Size | 21.5 Quarts | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | UPC | 793842081114 880910738909 735343623486 815912026204 704452329176 | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** McSunley - **Capacity:** 21.5 Quarts - **Coating Description:** Stainless Steel - **Color:** Silver - **Finish Type:** Non-Stick - **Is Oven Safe:** Yes - **Item Weight:** 8.5 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** McSunley - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 14"D x 12.5"W x 16.5"H ## Images ![Prep•N•Cook by McSunley 21.5Qt Stainless Steel Water Bath Canner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DLvp2o+pL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this safely be used on a glass top stove. Is the bottom perfectly flat?** A: Yes it can be used on a glass top stove and the bottom is flat. **Q: is the top cover heavy so it will not bounce up and down when you are water bath canning?** A: Yes. **Q: How many pint jars nd how many quarts does this hold?** A: Mine will do 8 quarts if you discard the rack and use this item "11-Inch Pressure Cooker Canner Rack (2-Pack) with Detachable Legs, Stainless Steel Pressure Canners for Canning Rack Compatible with Presto, All-American and More" **Q: Does this work on induction stoves? If a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work.** A: I don't know if it works on an induction plate, but just to inform you all, neither aluminum or stainless steel will attract a magnet. Induction capable pans of either sort have a steel/iron plate embedded in the bottom, giving them a magnetic area that the induction plate will work on ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice water bath canner! *by K***Y on May 20, 2020* I bought this because I needed a water bath canner with a flat bottom so I could use it on my glass top stove.

Can anybody help me out with that problem? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding canning pot *by A***R on September 9, 2021* I have enjoyed canning for over 30 years. I have always used what my mother and I used which was a Granite Ware type pot. It is a very good choice as well, however, I have had to replace that pot twice over the 30 years due to our hard water. This stainless steel pot should outlast the hard water much more than the old pot. The bigger size allowed me to can more at one time. All home canners can relate to being able to do more at one time instead of having to live in the kitchen all day into the night. It is a delightful choice and would recommend it to any and all home canners. It's easy to clean up and with a lid easy to store. Anyone wanting to start or are a long-time home canner like myself you will not be disappointed in making this pot your choice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Prep•N•Cook by McSunley 21.5Qt Stainless Steel Water Bath Canner - Norpro Canning Essentials Boxed Set, 6 Piece Set - Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/33798984-prep-n-cook-by-mcsunley-21-5qt-stainless-steel-water](https://www.desertcart.us/products/33798984-prep-n-cook-by-mcsunley-21-5qt-stainless-steel-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
