Home food preservation used to be an essential part of rural America making it through the winter, and Granitware has been part of that tradition since 1871. Thanks to modern agriculture, efficient transportation and competitive food market pricing, today most Americans can afford to buy food as they need.

So why home canning?

Food preserving has become a hobby and a leisure activity so needs to be promoted accordingly. Gardeners enjoy freezing and canning the fruits of their summer labors to share with friends and family throughout the year. In spite of low food market prices, gardening as a pastime continues to grow, and home canning is an extension of the gardening hobby.

This 21 1/2 quart preserve pot comes with a lid and canning rack to rest 7 of your 1 quart jars. Graniteware's high efficiency, quick boiling performance combined with its modest cost make it ideal for canning.
