Stacking 4 or 8 oz jars in a steam canner with a rack #730102

Asked October 11, 2020, 6:04 PM EDT

Is it permissible to stack 1/4 or 1/2 pints (or even pints, for that matter) in a steam canner if I use the rack from my pressure canner and do not stack them directly on top of each other?

Thanks for contacting Ask-the-Expert.  I have attached a copy of a factsheet that addresses the proper use of a steam canner.  The publication does state that you can fully load the canner.
