Ball EasyCanner Electric Water Bath Canner

I have been canning for more than forty years and have enjoyed all of the processes involved - right - it’s where science meets art meets the physical endurance of any athlete! Ha! After aging and injuries took hold canning was such a struggle - the lifting - the steamed up kitchen making it harder to see and just acclimate to the extra heat. Lifting that old enamel canner - just near to impossible now. Then, I stumbled across this Ball canner!I have to say this canner is the bomb!! I used it for the first time this week and went to town on several recipes! The timer is perfect, the display panel is good. Even with eyesight that is not as good as it used to be - I can see the display well. The instruction book is your friend with this - and very well written! If I could make one suggestion to Ball it would be to put the instructions on one “laminated card” so that when you refer to it again and again while canning - you’re not getting it wet!! The canner worked exactly as expected and did all the things the booklet said it would. One thing I missed but was clearly in the booklet: when the canner is processing a batch - it sometimes sounds like it’s turning off or slowing down (you’ll notice it’s not bubbling the same). . Initially I thought it was broken- nope! The canner knows its temperature and to stay at temperature it slows itself down (this is in the booklet). Another awesome quality about this canner is that the kitchen doesn’t become a sauna! It’s such a good solid piece of equipment. The spigot is fantastic! Zero lifting!! ZERO lifting! I’ve not had it long enough to speak about rust resistance however I did put the vinegar in the water as suggested bball in the booklet. To test the canner out I did several different recipes and they all set just fine and processed very well. No issues in a single batch out of seven plus recipes. I wasn’t sure when I was purchasing this product if it would indeed be worth the money - hands down the best thing I’ve bought in years!!! It truly is a game changer. The best part: I had thought my canning days were gone - another favorite thing I’d have to let go of because of how much I could no longer do physically. This technology and brilliant design of this canner has made it all possible again! So thank you to the design folks at Ball who had the vision to make a product that would respond to the needs of their consumers. Great job. To anyone reading these reviews - I’ve learned a lot from the reviews here - the take away from my review to you - is: don’t wait! You’ve earned this canner ;) and if you’re a canner you know what I mean. Just get it lol !!

I cannot recommend the Ball EasyCanner Electric Water Bath Canner enough! As someone who’s been canning for years, this device has completely transformed my process. The electric setup eliminates the hassle of monitoring a stove-top pot, and the preset temperature controls make it foolproof—no more guessing if the water is at the right boil! The large capacity allowed me to process multiple jars at once, saving me so much time. Plus, the automatic shut-off feature gives me peace of mind, especially when multitasking in the kitchen.

When i saw this, I thought it cost too much for the 7 or 8 batches of jelly & jams, tomato sauce and pickles I usually make in a year, but my husband bought it for my birthday, anyway. I am so happy he did. It makes canning so much easier. It times every step out for you, from heating the jars to letting them rest in pot for 5 minutes after processing is done. The spout is a game-changer as I am not as young and strong as I used to be; no more lifting heavy pots of water. I plug mine in near the sink, and fill it using the sink sprayer. When It's done, I just open the spout , let the water drain into the sink and down the drain. I have also used it to steam a dozen ears of corn.

I love this Canner. I will say that it is pretty big, I think it can hold 7 pints, so it does take up a lot of space on the counter. However, it is very portable and has a side drain spout that allows me to just slide the canner to my sink and drain the water. It also would be great for cooking large batches of soup or pasta, it is multifunctional.

The Ball EasyCanner is a game-changer! Simple to use, efficient, and reliable—it makes water bath canning effortless. Highly recommend for beginners and pros alike. Love it!

This electric water bath canner simplifies home preservation! Its automated temperature control ensures precision, while the spacious design handles multiple jars effortlessly. Durable, user-friendly, and time-saving—it delivers consistent, safe results every time. Perfect for beginners and experts alike. Highly recommend for stress-free canning!

The media could not be loaded. I am very pleased with how well it worked. I am 66 years old and had started wondering how much longer would I be able to can. It is not as easy as it use to be lifting heavy pots full of hot water. I bought this in hopes that I would be able to can for some years to come. I have not been disappointed in my purchase. The kitchen was no where near as hot using the stove top canner. The timer is very convenient and end timer alarm can be heard from another room. You do not have to sit close by to hear it. No lifting heavy pots of hot water just let it drain into sink. Wish I had gotten this years ago. Easy to understand instructions, will be canning a lot more in no time. I highly recommend this canner.

I love this for canning. However, it can also be used as a big slow cooker type pot. I wish there was a stainless steel spout attachment I could purchase so that I am not slow cooking a hot plastic spout in my food. Other than that I love this set up.
