Canning Racks
For Pressure Canners & Water Bath Canners
Canning your food? You need a canning rack. Canning racks are used to keep jars lifted above the bottom of the canner. They provide stability during the canning process, prevent jars from touching the hot bottom directly, and allow water or steam to circulate around each jar for even heat distribution, which is crucial for safe preservation.
There are two types of canning racks, depending on whether you're using a pressure canner or a water bath canner.
Pressure Canner Canning Racks
Waterbath Canning Racks
According to USDA canning guidelines, using the correct canning rack is vital for safe food preservation. Jars should not rest directly on the bottom of the pot because this can cause jars to overheat and break. Canning racks allow for proper water or steam circulation, ensuring each jar reaches a safe internal temperature to prevent bacterial growth, such as botulism.

Pressure Canner Canning Racks
Pressure Canner Canning Rack: Pressure canners today require racks with no side handles. Choose from wire or flat racks to ensure steam circulates completely around the jars during the pressurization process. You may need two racks if your canner will accommodate a second layer of jars. Pressure canner racks have no side handles because jars should be removed one by one by a jar lifter after processing has been completed. Select your canning rack based on your Pressure Canner model number or use a diameter measurement. When using a diameter measurement ensure the rack will sit flat on the bottom of the canner. Pressure canning racks should be 1/4 inch to 1 inch smaller than the interior diameter of the pressure canning pot.

Waterbath Canning Racks
Waterbath Canner Canning Rack: In water bath canning, a rack is used to hold jars upright and separated in boiling water. These racks usually have handles and fit standard canning jars. Since water bath canning requires jars to be fully submerged in boiling water, the rack's purpose is to keep the jars stable and allow water to move around them for consistent heating.
Our wire canning racks are crafted from durable galvanized steel. These wire canning racks provide a stable and secure platform for jars during the water bath canning process. Their design allows for optimal heat circulation, ensuring that jars are evenly heated, which is essential for proper preservation. Available in two sizes to accommodate different canner dimensions and jar quantities, wire canning racks offer versatility and convenience. These racks are compatible with most water bath canners but we recommend checking the measurements.
