A. Yes. If it is deep enough it may be used as a water-bath canner (p. 4
). Or you may use a pressure canner to process fruits and tomatoes at 0
to 1 pound pressure without having the containers of food completely
covered with water. Put water in the canner to the shoulders of the
jars; fasten cover. When live steam pours steadily from the open vent,
start counting time. Leave vent open and process for the same times
given for the boiling-water bath.
