What size pressure cooker should I get for jars?
I’m looking into buying a pressure cooker that I can use for canning. What is the minimum size of the pressure cooker that I would need to buy?
I need to know what quart size I would want.

you need to have the water just cover the tops of lids, so figure out how many jars at a time you’ll be using, and tie a string around the jars, mark where the tie is, then open up the string and you can then take the marked string to the store and put it in the samples, until you find one that the jars will fit in without touching the inside of the pressure cooker insert.
You can get up to a 7 qt size.. and it ll do 16 pts … You can t go wrong in the long run getting the big good quality one GL
