Victorio Aluminum Multi-Use Canner

Model VKP1145

Your complete Multi-Use Canner includes the following items:

 Glass Lid, containing a Thermostat Knob

 Aluminum Stock Pot

 Stainless Steel Jar Rack

Operating Precautions

WARNING! To prevent personal injuries, please read and

follow all instructions correctly.

 Steam canners and boiling-water or water bath canners are

not to be used for canning low-acid foods, such as

vegetables and meats. Low-acid foods must be processed in

a pressure canner.

 Be certain your range or cooktop is rated for home canning.

Some models of ranges or cooktops cannot be used for home

canning, -especially smooth top ranges–since they can be

damaged. Check with the manufacturer of your cooktop before

using your canner. Victorio Kitchen Products IS NOT

responsible for damage of any kind to the range or cooktop as a

result of using this canner.

 Always use heat protective gloves or mitts when handling any part

of your canner.

 When removing the lid from the canner, be sure to always tilt it

away from you to avoid steam burns.

 Any steam produced will be hot and can cause serious injury. Use

extreme caution while using your canner.

 Never leave your canner unattended while it is in use.

 Check the stock pot water level after every batch. DO NOT LET

THE STOCK POT BOIL DRY. This will cause serious damage

to your canner and may render it unusable. Your stove top could

also be damaged if this happens.

 Do not use by or near children.

Product Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of a Victorio Multi-Use 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. 10)

 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.

 Double-Sided Jar Rack: The Victorio Canner has a stainless steel

double sided jar rack. This rack enables the canner to be used as either

a steam or water bath canner depending on how it is placed in the pot.

To use the rack for water bath canning, pull open the handles and

hook them on the sides of the pot. For steam canning, fold the

handles down inside the rack, turn the rack over, and place it in the

canner with the flat side up (see diagram below).

Water Bath Steam

 Stock Pot Capacity:

○20 Quart liquid capacity

 Canning Jar Capacity:

○8 Pint Jars

○7 Quart Jars

Care Instructions

Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to wash your Victorio Multi-Use

Canner by hand before the initial use. This will help to remove any

particles or residue from the factory. Then follow these simple care

instructions to keep your canner clean:

 After each use, wash the pot, lid and jar rack in warm, soapy water.

Rinse and dry well. Be sure to use a soft cloth to keep from

scratching the aluminum surface.

 As the canner is used, you may notice hard water build up as well as

discoloration or darkening of the stock pot. This is normal for

aluminum.

 To remove hard-water deposits from the stock pot, add 1/4 cup of

vinegar and 1 gallon of water to the pot and boil for 2 to 3 minutes.

 NEVER ALLOW YOUR CANNER TO BOIL DRY. Negligence

might result in damage to the canner or your stove. Check the water

level after every batch.

Canning Jar and Lid Selection

Regular and wide-mouth Mason-type, threaded, home-canning jars with

self-sealing lids (lid and screw-band combination) are the best choice. The

regular jar mouth opening is approximately 2-3/8 inches. Wide-mouth

jars have openings of approximately 3 inches. These types of canning jars

come in several different sizes depending upon your needs and recipe

requirements. For further information on jar and lid selections and for jar

cleaning and sterilization, please refer to the USDA’s Complete Guide to

Home Canning.

Jar Sterilization

According to the USDA, all jams, jellies, juices and pickled products

processed for less than 10 minutes in a water bath canner should be filled

into sterile empty jars.

To sterilize empty jars after washing in soap and rinsing thoroughly,

submerge them, right side up, in a boiling-water canner with the rack

in the bottom. Fill the canner with enough warm water so it is 1 inch

above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a boil, and boil 10 minutes

at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional

minute for each additional 1,000 ft elevation. Reduce the heat under the

canner, and keep the jars in the hot water until it is time to fill them.

Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time, saving the hot water in

the canner for processing filled jars. Fill the sterilized jars with food, add

lids, and tighten screw bands.

Indicator Knob Instructions

WARNING! Be careful where you place your lid. DO NOT set the

lid on top of hot burners or hot pans as this can cause the indicator

to give inaccurate readings or become damaged.

Your Victorio Canner has an indicator built

into the knob on the lid. This indicator tells

you when to start your processing time.

The indicator has 3 different “Zones”. The

zones are divided into altitude ranges. In

order to properly use the indicator, you will

need to know what your altitude is so that

you can determine which “Zone” you need

to use. If you don’t know your altitude

level, you can contact your local Extension

office (see the Troubleshooting Guide for

more information on p. 10).

Why do I need to know the altitude where I am canning?

Water boils at different temperatures as altitude increases, thus changing

the amount of time needed for processing a recipe. The correct

processing temperature is not reached until the water is boiling.

How does the indicator work?

The indicator measures the temperature of the steam inside the canner.

When the temperature inside the canner reaches the processing

temperature (boiling) the indicator will reach the green area for your zone.

You may also see steam escaping around the lid as another indicator that

the canner is up to the correct temperature.

NOTE: The “Zones” on the indicator are approximations for the

different altitudes. As you use the canner, watch where the indicator is

pointing when the water is boiling or when you can see steam escaping

from the vent holes in the lid. You can use that as your guide to start your

processing time.

Canner Use Instructions

Please make sure you have read through the sections -

Operating Precautions (p. 2) and Indicator Knob Instructions

(p. 4) - before using your canner.

Warning! The steam and water will be hot and can cause a

serious burn injury. Use extreme caution while using your

canner.

Water Bath Canning:

1. Fill the stock pot with 11 quarts of water

and place on a large stovetop burner.

2. Set the jar rack so the handles are resting

on the top lip of the pot (see diagram at

right).

3. Preheat water to 140° F for raw-packed

foods and to 180° F for hot-packed

foods.

4. Follow the directions in an approved canning guide to prepare and fill

the jars with the product you are going to process.

5. Place your prepared, hot jars on the canning rack. It will hold 7 quarts

or 8 pints.

6. Pull up on the handles and lower the rack down into your simmering

water.

7. Make sure the tops of the jars are covered by at least 1 full inch of

water. If needed, add enough hot water to fully cover the jars.

8. Place the lid on the pot so the vent holes are towards the back and

you can easily read the indicator knob.

9. Make sure you know which “Zone” you are in according to your

altitude. If you do not, contact your local Extension office (see the

Troubleshooting Guide for more information on p. 10).

10. Turn your burner on so the water comes to a vigorous boil.

11. As soon as the needle reaches your “Zone’s” green area, start your

processing time (see p. 4 for Indicator Knob Instructions).

12. DO NOT let the water continue to boil vigorously throughout

the entire processing time. This can cause leakage and breakage of

jars. Slowly turn down your burner unit, watching the needle

carefully, to keep it from continuing to rise further into your green

area. You only need enough heat to maintain the temperature inside

your pot and to keep the needle just inside your “Zone’s” green area.

13. When the processing time is finished, turn off the heat, remove the lid

(by tilting it away from you to avoid steam burns), and let stand for 5

minutes before removing jars. If the jars are removed immediately

from the canner after processing, that could increase the possibility

for breakage due to drastic temperature changes taking place too

quickly.

14. Warning! The steam and water will be hot and can cause a

serious burn injury. Use extreme caution while using your

canner.

15. Use hot pads or a jar lifter to remove the jars from the canner. Place

the jars on a dry towel, cloth or cooling rack, in a draft-free area,

leaving 2 inches of space around all sides of the jars. Let cool for 12-

24 hours.

16. After cooling time is complete, remove the rings and check the seals

by depressing the center of the canning lid. If it pops back up, it is not

sealed. Reprocess within 24 hours or refrigerate immediately and eat

the contents within a few days. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark

place.

Steam Canning:

Processing times for boiling-water canners are the same for steam

canners and can be used interchangeably.

DO NOT let the canner boil dry. Check water level after each batch

and add more if needed.

DO NOT remove lid during processing. Removing the lid allows the

steam to escape and the jars will no longer be at the correct temperature.

If the lid is removed during processing you will need to bring the canner

back up to heat and restart the processing time to ensure the jars are

processed correctly.

1. Fold the handles of the jar rack

inward, until they rest inside the rack.

Turn it over and place inside the pot

so the folded handles sit on the

bottom of the pot. (see diagram at

right).

2. Fill the stock pot with 3 quarts of

water. The water level should be just

below the top of the jar rack.

3. Preheat water to 140° F for raw-packed foods and to 180° F for hot-

packed foods.

4. Follow the directions in an approved canning guide to prepare and fill

the jars with the product you are going to process.

5. Place your prepared jars on the canning rack. It will hold 7 quarts or

8 pints.

6. Place the lid on the pot so the vent holes are towards the back and

you can easily read the indicator knob.

7. Make sure you know which “Zone” you are in according to your

altitude. If you do not, contact your local Extension office (see the

Troubleshooting Guide for more information on p. 10).

8. Turn your burner up so the water comes to a vigorous boil.

9. As soon as the needle reaches your “Zone’s” green area, start your

processing time (see p. 4 for Indicator Knob Instructions). Be sure

your processing time is from an approved canning guide to ensure you

have a safe finished product. (The processing times for steam

canning are the same for water bath canning).

10. DO NOT let the water continue to boil vigorously throughout
