E48960 Non-Electric Pressure Canner

Designed for Safe & Reliable Pressure Canning

The E48960 Non-Electric Pressure Canner is a professional-grade, heavy-duty stainless steel unit designed specifically for pressure canning of all food types. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, it ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with all cooking surfaces, including stoves and gas burners.

With its 103.4 kPa (~15 psi) pressure regulator, this canner achieves a steam temperature of 121°C (250°F), the scientifically recognized temperature required to safely process low-acid foods such as meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables in glass preservation jars. This high temperature also makes it suitable for sterilization applications, such as preparing mycology substrates and other heat-sensitive materials.

For recipes requiring lower pressure, an optional 80 kPa (~10 psi) pressure regulator is available. The unit’s pressure regulator weights are calibrated for Johannesburg altitude, ensuring accurate pressure control without adjustment at any lower altitude within Southern Africa.
