Remove your jars from the water bath canner one at a time using your jar lifter. Dump the water out of the jar into your water bath canner to ensure there is still 2-3 inches of water above your jars.

Specifically, water bath canning uses a vessel called a water bath canner. The large, tall pot (made of aluminum of porcelain-covered steel) has a fitted lid and a stainless steel rack on the bottom.
