Product overview
The Basterfield E48960 is a locally manufactured pressure canner for preserving food in glass jars. It suits home and homestead canning, seasonal harvest preservation on farms and orchards, and food-production settings processing jars in batches.
The welded Grade 304 stainless steel vessel combines corrosion resistance with heavy-duty construction for repeated use. A substantial bottom, smooth satin finish and heat-resistant body and lid handles make it practical to handle and clean. Swing clamps and wing nuts secure the lid.
Use a suitable gas burner or electric hot plate with controllable heat. The canner has a pressure gauge, a standard 103.4 kPa regulator, a safety control valve and an overpressure plug. An 80 kPa regulator is optional. It is not suitable for direct use on induction plates or coal fires.
Choose from 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50-litre vessels. Use the model specifications and the capacity buying guide below to compare jar loads and stacking arrangements. Jar capacities are indicative and depend on actual jar dimensions. Canning racks and trivets are optional extras; include the racks needed beneath jars and between stacked layers.
Food preservation must follow the supplied instructions and a process appropriate to the food, jar and load. For mushroom substrate preparation, discuss your containers and proposed process with Basterfield before selecting a model. Local manufacture provides access to replacement parts and after-sales support.
