Does this work with half pint jars the taller ones and the squat ones

I've used it with 4 oz standard and squat jars, 8 oz. jars, and with quart jars. All work well in this, although if you are doing a HUGE number of jars, you will need to process in progressive increments, as this only holds 7 jars and stacking is not recommended in waterbath canning.

I successfully used it with half pints, just make sure there are Anouilh to prop each other up.

I've only used pints and quarts. It sits flat so would probably be OK on smaller jars as well.

Yes, the side that holds 7 pint jars will hold 7 half-pints. Some of my half-pint jelly jars with narrow bottoms were a little wobbly but generally speaking, it worked well.

It doesn't work with the quart size jars unless u flip it over to use the bottom but it's not very stable and isprobably not meant to be used that way.

The rack works most easily with the sqat half pints - very stable. With the narrower base of the taller ones, you need to make sure that the jars are pushed up against the outer support wire so that the base of the jar sits on the outer base ring. Otherwise the jars my tip. I have successfully used both sides of the rack - see which size best stabilizes the style jar you are using.

Yes, you just need to cover any size jar with at least an inch of water. I've canned 1/2 pint to quart jars in this.

They fit standard mason jars. I got the half pint jars but the mouth is the same size as the larger jar. I'm not sure if wide-mouthed jars are different again. The diameter of the lids are 3 inches across (about 7.5 cm) hope this helps.

I wouldn't think too many, it is 8 and 1/2 inside diameter and a bit over 7 inches inside height. Not sure size of your canning jars. Could work for pints or less.

I just measured the length of top while not in use. It measured 4 inches. I don't believe it will work with a jar that large. I love mine. It is over a year old and I have no complaints.

Two quart jars fit into this; however, I don't think I've actually canned with quart jars with this product. There are small plastic rings built into the bottom that are designed for three pints. I usually am using half pint jars and can put four in without a problem.

Yes fits very nicely. But if you are doing jars larger than pint jars, I would go to a larger stockpot for the extra depth.

Absolutely. You'll just use less water because they are not as tall. Don't get tempted to stack the jars just because they are smaller. Only can one layer of jars at once.

These fit quart and pints standard size. If you can take a quart size mayonnaise jar lid and fit it on your gallon jar, it fits, otherwise no! Gallon jars usually have a larger opening.

I use this on wide mouth quart jars. It works very well. If the 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars use the lids and bans then you shouldn't have a problem

I use this only when double stacking jars, and then I use the jar tongs to remove jars. It works fine for that, but I ended up buying one with lifting handles for when I do a single layer of jars, much easier. If I were you, I would just get the lifter style basket with handles..

Not really. I use jar lifters to get my jars in and out of the water. The rack works pretty well, I just wish the rings the jars sit on were closer. I have had problems with half pints shifting and staying in place during canning.

I have pint jars (16 oz) and they fit. They work great! Not sure about quart size (32 oz), you'll have to ask them...

Be Careful! The 6 quart Presto model is barely tall enough to accommodate the height of a pint mason jar with seal and ring attached. The total volume of the vessel is not the issue here, it's the physical dimensions, in this case the height!!!! My 6 quart Presto allows me to can 4 pints IF YOU TURN THE SPACER UPSIDE DOWN AND PUT 4 QUARTERS UNDER THE SPACER TO KEEP THE HEAT FROM THE BURNER FROM POTENTIALLY BREAKING THE JARS!!!!! The quarters allow water between the bottom and the spacer. These units really should not be used for canning, there are other reasons.

no it wont fit we use smaller jars 4.5 oz different product it rides halfway in lid rests on top but if we remove lid it drifts completely inside but i can give u inside dimensions if that help 4 1/2 inches deep 4 5/8 inches long 2 5/8 wide this be good for jar size i mention or tubes

yes, all canning jars are either regular or wide mouth. no matter whether 8 oz, pint or quart. as long as it is a regular mouth jar, it will work.

I bought this with a 35qt pot, but have a smaller 8qt pot too. It has trouble bringing the 35qt pot to a full boil if it is full, so it hasnt been great with qt jars. I have used it with pint jars and the 35qt pot and that seems to work well(shorter jars require less overall liquid). When using it with my 8qt pot it works fine for canning, but it is to short a pot for qt jars.
