This Weaver-made replacement canning shelf is sized for Lehman’s Amish-built stainless steel stovetop canner. Adding a second shelf doubles the pint capacity of the pot — from 18 pints in a single layer to 36 pints stacked — making it possible to put through a full bushel of tomatoes, pickles, or applesauce in a single boiling cycle rather than splitting it across two canning days.
The shelf is built from food-grade stainless steel wire welded into a rigid disc that holds jar weight without flexing. Round perforations let boiling water circulate freely between the upper and lower jar layers so heat penetrates every jar evenly and processing times stay accurate. Sturdy lift wires keep the shelf at the right working height inside the pot and let you raise and lower fully loaded jars without bumping the glass.
For households that already own the matching Lehman’s canner, this is the single upgrade that turns a one-batch day into a two-batch day. For households where the shelf has worn out or rusted out (typically from old aluminum or steel canners), this stainless replacement is the right swap — corrosion-free, dishwasher-safe, and ready to outlast the pot it sits in.
