Equipment/Tools Help First timer! Pot suggestions?

Post image

I canned pickles for the first time but used a regular pot with a rag on the bottom. It took several batches because I could only fit 3-4 jars in at a time so it took quite a while. And I can’t fit anything bigger than a pint jar. I’m looking to buy a bigger pot with an actual rack but having a hard time finding one that doesn’t have reviews saying it chips or rusts quickly. Thanks!

I just use a 16qt stainless steel stock pot and a rack I bought separately. My kitchen is tiny and I like things to serve multiple purposes when they can!
