Both electric and stovetop burner models have pros and cons. And, they range in price from $40 to over $200. All of the modern versions are waaaaayy safer than your grandma's. No more explosions throwing food allover the kitchen. You can log onto www.cooksillustrated.com (http://www.cooksillustrated.com) for a free 2 week trial and look at their reviews.

That is the bible for canning and preserving.

Did you get that 16qt? Not sure it's big enough to do canning. They will be labeled as "pressure canner" if they can handle several quart jars at a time.
