An atmospheric steam canner is a distinct appliance used only when a current authoritative tested process explicitly permits atmospheric steam canning.

Do not confuse canner types

An atmospheric steam canner is not a pressure canner, pressure cooker, electric multicooker, or boiling-water canner. Never substitute its operating method for pressure canning or combine instructions from different methods.

What to look for

  • A purpose-built atmospheric steam canner with a fitted rack and cover
  • Current manufacturer instructions and a reliable method for confirming a full steam environment
  • Compatibility with the jar sizes, cooktop, process, and elevation requirements in the tested guidance
