Looking for an alternative to stovetop water bath canning? Newell Brands, makers of Ball® products, has updated their electric water bath canner. The new version is called the Ball® EasyCanner.

This is a freestanding appliance and can be used for any water bath canned recipes. It is not a pressure canning appliance. It features some technology to help make water bath canning easier. The user must add time to adjust for elevation.

It holds up to 8 pints or 7 quarts. The rack is a bit bigger than the previous model. This appliance can also be used for cooking a meal, soup, or serving a hot beverage. It features a spigot to drain water or dispense other liquids.
