Product Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of a Victorio Steam Canner! This
manual will help you use your canner properly and understand its features.
However, this manual is NOT a general guide to home canning. If you
do not have a USDA approved home canning guide, visit their website
at nchfp.uga.edu, for more information. You can also visit our website,
www.Victorio.info, where you’ll find resources for approved home
canning procedures. Don’t forget, you can also check with your local
Extension office for helpful canning advice and your local altitude (see the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information on p. 8)
• Steam & Water Bath Canning Differences: Water bath canning is
the process of immersing the jars in water and using the boiling water
to raise the temperature of the jars. Steam canning is the process of
boiling the water below the jars and using steam to heat the jars. The
advantage to steam canning is that it saves time, energy and water. As a
result, steam canning is a much quicker and more efficient method.
• Aluminum Jar Rack: The Victorio Canner has an aluminum jar rack.
This rack enables the bottom pot to be filled with water to just above
the level of the rack. This provides enough water to finish one batch
before the pot needs to be refilled.
