they are good for jams/pickles, but not really for home canning purposes as the lids and glass vessels need to be able to withstand high pressure and heat that non acidic foods require.
I must say folks, I'm now considering trying to open an estore if I can get stock at the right price to make it competitive for us.
Would there be interest?
Cogs are now a turning.
All the best, stay safe, stay prepared.

Right quality at the right price and no gouging*?
I'd love to find that shop
Do it...... Please

That looks more like Pickling (preserving by making a hostile enviroment for the bugs ) rather then Canning (sealing in a container and then using heat to kill the bugs)

Found this pressure cooker that I have heard you can use for canning. But cant find where its says about Lbs of pressure? But its a catering one and cooks faster then a domestic one. So I expect the pressure is higher
Everywhere I have read it says you need 15lb psi for canning meat etc. I would worry that it would spoil in one any lower.
I already have a pressure cooker and it goes to 12psi but wont use it for canning unless I see absolute evidence to say you can use it.
Apparently prestige hi dome one can be used as a canner and it goes up to 15lb psi, I would buy this but it only holds a couple of jars and would take way to long to can a lot of produce You can find them on ebay for much less ( vintage ones are the best ones as they were built better.
According to the Canning threads on the other sites I go on, if you buy nothing else you should buy This book
Kizzie. At that sort of money shipping one over from the land of 'Merican's is probably cheaper
Rik. Good link, I've got a friend who swears by her pressure-cooker (I don't think shes Canned in it though) and at that price it might be worth getting one

Thank you for the book recommendations. Its now on my list
I was hoping I would find a 2nd hand canner or the huge pressure cookers on ebay.. You never know. Looking for a Excalibur dehydrator as that is the king of dehydrators. Mine is OK but cant get much on it and it takes longer. but it does for now.
This is a link about why its not a good idea to use cookers for canners
