Jar capacity by vessel size
| Vessel Capacity | Jar Capacity and Layer Arrangement |
|---|---|
| 10 L | 7 × 500 ml jars |
| 20 L | 14 × 500 ml jars stacked, or 5 × 1 litre jars |
| 30 L | 18 × 500 ml jars stacked, or 9 × 1 litre jars |
| 40 L | 27 × 500 ml jars in three layers, or 18 × 1 litre jars in two layers |
| 50 L | 27 × 500 ml jars in three layers, or 18 × 1 litre jars in two layers |
Jar capacities depend on the actual jar dimensions and loading arrangement.
Food preservation: Pressure canning in glass jars or suitable food-canning tins for households, homesteads, farms and food producers.
Batch pressure cooking: Prepare meal batches for catering, hospitality and institutional kitchens.
Dried beans, lentils and other legumes must be pre-soaked before pressure cooking or packing into jars for canning. Pre-soaking allows them to absorb water and expand before cooking or jar filling, reducing the risk of overfilling and jar breakage.
Mushroom cultivation: Steam-sterilise mushroom substrates for cultivation.
The welded Grade 304 stainless steel vessel has a heavy-duty bottom and satin finish. Swing clamps and wing nuts secure the lid, with heat-resistant handles on the body and lid. A pressure gauge, safety control valve and overpressure plug provide pressure monitoring and relief.
Features & benefits
Standard 103.4 kPa Regulating Weight
Supplied with a 103.4 kPa gauge (15 psi) regulating weight, which begins regulating at a minimum of this pressure. Saturated steam at this pressure is approximately 121°C at sea level after correct air venting.
Detachable 2 kW Electric Base
