In reply to Eddie. I know others are using the canning feature, but the USDA has not approved it for that use.

You can absolutely pressure can at 5000′. A scientist experimented with temp recorders in a jar to prove it, she’s at 5000′.

I’ve had my Max for about two weeks now and canned several batches of chicken, pulled pork, and hamburger. Tomorrow I will be cutting up a large beef roast to can. I am absolutely in love with the simplicity and ease of use! No heavy huge canner to lug to the stove and back. No guessing if the temperature is right. No jiggling weights! It is the perfect canner for those who prefer small batch canning. This and my Duo do everything I need done. One of these days I will even try the other features available on the Max, but right now I’m having so much fun canning I can’t stop! 🥰. Love my Max!

In reply to Linda Walker. Hi Linda - as far as I know, no electric pressure cooker has been approved by the USDA for canning. You can do hot water bath canning in it, but not low acid things like meats.

I would like to know about canning small amounts of veggies, meats and/or sauces…etc… sometimes I only have a quart or pints of produce/meats. Is this max safe to really can with?

Thank you
Linda

I am in the market to buy an IP Max. I have never used a pressure cooker before. I want to know when I program the IP Max for the type of pressure release, ie. Quick Release, Pulse Release , Natural Release, how do I know which type is the correct one for what is cooking inside the pot.

In reply to Robin. Hi Robin - sure, just round it up. However, I find that I don't need to adjust most recipes at that elevation.
