šŸš€ Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The Presto Pressure Canner has been met with great positivity, with its excellent performance in preserving a wide range of foods from jams to stews being praised. Users who are new to canning appreciated its ease of use as the product eliminates the typical complexities of pressure canning. However, there was one account of the inner coating peeling off, although this seems to be an isolated issue that was resolved by customer service. For the most part, the Presto pressure canner simplifies the canning processes, making it less intimidating for beginners while still proving useful to experienced canners.

Pros

  • šŸ„‡ Excellent for canning a variety of foods
  • šŸ„ˆ Easy to use, especially for beginners
  • šŸ„‰ Virtually hands-free, making canning less time-consuming
  • āš½ Company is responsive in resolving issues

Cons

  • āš ļø Limited quantity - can only can 4 or 5 quarts at a time
  • āŒ Possible issue with inner liner peeling off, though seems isolated and was resolved

Should I Buy It?

If you're interested in preserving your own foods ā€“ be that due to health concerns, wanting to save money or simply for the love of canning ā€“ then the Presto Pressure Canner is a worthy investment. Itā€™s perfect for beginners due to its ease of use, while also being enormously beneficial to experienced canners who want to save time. Despite some minor limitations and one-off issues, the overall high ratings and positive experiences shared by users make it viable for purchase.

    • Totally worth the money -- what a high quality piece of kitchen equipment.
Size: 12 Quarts
I am all about quality when it comes to things in my kitchen. I only buy things that I know I am gonna use (otherwise, they get gifted or donated). This was like the tesla of pressure canners -- I mean in appearance, ease of use, and quality. I was overjoyed when I took it out of the box. It looks so high tech! I keep saying to my partner, this is the coolest looking thing in my kitchen. There are instructions inside that are suuuuuper easy to use. Seriously. They made the whole process so easy! Even the aesthetic/layout of the directions are designed well (graphic designer here). I have only pressure canned (not water canned), and it works really well for that. My favorite part? The fact that there is a sanitizing setting for getting jars clean before filling them up for canning! I pressure can at least once a week. Knowing I have the ability to easefully and safely preserve food is such a blessing. It is definitely an investment, but I wanted something that was reliable and well made. So it was a no-brainer. Super grateful for this! ... show more

    • Was Amazing but nowā€¦? (See Updates)
Size: 12 Quarts
I love this thing SO MUCH!!! Iā€™ve been wanting to get into canning for a really long time but I was honestly intimidated by it. I really love to cook but due to health reasons Iā€™ve made some big changes in my diet. So buying at the grocery store has become more expensive than usual plus I spend so much time reading labels. Canning has given me much greater control of my food (no chemicals) plus I love that I can reduce sugar. This canner has allowed me to explore both styles of canning with ease! Iā€™ve had it for a month and Iā€™ve been able preserve anything from low sugar jams to spaghetti sauce - it is so fun!! It has worked perfectly every time with no issues. The one thing I will say is it only cans 4 quarts at a time but since itā€™s just me thatā€™s not a big issue. I looked at cheaper ones here on Amazon but decided to go with this one because it was slightly larger. Iā€™m so glad I did. This has been one of the best investments Iā€™ve made in a long time!!! UPDATE::: I bought this at the end of June and have used it steadily since with no issues. Today when I was washing the inside liner (mid August), the inside coating peeled off! I notice it lifting at the bottom and when I checked it to see if it was just happening a little bit, it came off in sheets!! This is super frustrating because I have peaches ready to can. Unfortunately today is Sunday so Iā€™m stuck until tomorrow on getting any help from Presto but I submitted a message with a picture. I have seen this canner compared to the Nesco, so I literally ran to order that one as it will arrive tomorrow. For $300 I would have expected the presto to hold up longer than 2 months. At this point my original opinion has changed. Iā€™ll update my review as the situation develops. :( Update 2: I emailed Presto on Sunday because they were closed until Monday morning. I called Monday morning and got some rude lady who said if I emailed them then I would have to wait until they responded. She said ā€œwe donā€™t want 2 people working on the same issue ā€œ but she didnā€™t even want to bother to check to see if they got my email. On Tuesday afternoon I called again. Luckily I got a very nice guy Nick who immediately checked to see if he could find my email but he couldnā€™t. I emailed him with the picture while we were on the phone and he was clearly flustered at the picture and put me on hold to show Quality Control. They immediately started the process to send me a new liner pan. They also said they may send me a fedex label to send the messed up liner pan back. They told me this is highly unusual and wanted a bunch of model numbers off the unit. I hope to get the replacement liner by the weekend. In the meantime I bought a Nesco. I wanted to see if I made a frivolous choice in buying the presto over the Nesco. Iā€™m in the process of pressure canning split pea soup right now. Hereā€™s my thoughts initially- presto is definitely better. Itā€™s easy to use and warms the jars before canning which I really like because it automates this step. Plus the Presto is much bigger. I prefer wide mouth jars and can get more pints in the presto (7) vs the Nesco (5 and they are really crowded in there). I have decided to keep the Nesco (what can I say - Iā€™m on a canning roll) so that I can do multiple batches at the same time. I have a glass top stove and am afraid to pressure can on it. Plus I live in Fl so while they do heat up the kitchen the electric canners are not nearly as bad as it could be if done on the stovetop. Weā€™ll see how the new Presto liner pan holds up. They said the issue was not seen before and my research confirmed this because I couldnā€™t find any evidence that it was a problem before. IMHO if you can afford the Presto itā€™s worth it. The Nesco also acts as slow cooker and a pressure cooker which really doesnā€™t impress me. But Iā€™ll definitely it check out even though Iā€™m not a big slow cooker person and I gave away my instapot wannabe pressure cooker because I felt all it did was boil the meat. Final edit::: I have used both canners multiple times and have decided that I love the Presto the most. It is practically idiot proof because it beeps when it reaches the next step. Thatā€™s good for a newbie canner because I donā€™t have to guess if itā€™s time for the regulator or to start the timer like I do with the Nesco. Plus the Presto lid is much easier to clean and reassemble. The new liner pan for the Presto is a different color with a different coating. So maybe the one I got originally was phased out. The company was very responsive about resolving my issue after I got the right person on the phone. All in all Iā€™m still glad that I bought the Presto in spite of the issue. One last final edit: it is now two years later (May 2025) and I still love the Presto the most. I have had no additional problems with the liner pan at all and the canner still works perfectly. I actually sold the Nesco on marketplace because I just didnā€™t use it anymore. ... show more

    • Exactly what I needed

As someone who grew up with family that canned my entire childhood, you'd think I would know how to can. I know the basics but never tried as an adult because the thought of so many tools pushed me away. This digital canner is amazing! So easy to use. There is a great manual, but they also include a wonderful "quick start" guide that is laminated! Everything fits tight, the process is smooth. 100% success rate so far with jars sealing. It is a heavy machine, but it works well and I have zero complaints. Will definitely be used for years! ... show more

    • Best pressure canner! Plus itā€™s beautiful!
Size: 12 Quarts
I purchased this digital pressure canner in November of 2024 and I wanted to wait until I used it several times to write a review. I am a novice prepper, and I do quite a bit of canning and preserving. I am dedicated to preserving the Appalachian traditions of canning, the way my grandmother taught me. This new digital pressure canner is quite far removed from the old pressure cooker canner that we used decades ago. I will tell you this was one of the best purchases that I have made. It is literally a set it and forget it. It is self regulated and amazingly I do not have to move it outside to my outdoors kitchen like I used to with the water bath canner and pressure cooker canner. It is sleek, beautiful, and self regulated. It walks you through the process so if you are a beginner and want to venture into pressure canning so you can prepare for your future. The manual is easy to understand. I highly recommend this product. It sits on your countertop or your outdoor kitchen, even your dining room table if it is sturdy enough. It holds 8 pints, or 6 quarts which is plenty for one person. I am going to order a second canner so that I can keep up with my food prepping needs and my expanded garden. Donā€™t hesitate- get this canner. It is quiet, beeps to remind you of the next stage, cleans up super easy, and It is well worth the money for your peace of mind and safety. I absolutely recommend it. ... show more

I love this electric pressure canner. I had never pressure canned anything but really wanted to be able to can homemade broth or spaghetti sauce with meat in it. I was worried about a traditional pressure canner on my glass cooktop so bought this and absolutely no regrets! It's so easy to use as it tells you what to do at each step and gives the exact amount of time to set for what you're canning in the booklet it came with. I have canned broth, beans and spaghetti sauce using the pressure function and just used it on the water bath setting for jam and that did great as well. This is well made and has held up so far. ... show more

This is a long and, hopefully, informative review. Iā€™ve been using Prestoā€™s ā€œold reliableā€ aluminum 23-quart pressure canner with a third-party pressure regulating ā€œrockerā€ instead of the dial gauge. I can mostly pints of meats, fish, and poultry, and this old canner can hold 16 of them. (I had to purchase a second rack for the top jars.) But we live in Zone 8b, the hot/humid South, and I cannot bear to can in the house, nor can we afford to. (The cannerā€™s power consumption per load is a LOT, and then add to that how much harder the air conditioner has to work with the canner heating up the whole house.) Instead, Iā€™ve used an infrared burner outside and constantly monitor a load over many hours. Itā€™s one of the most stressful things I do, but I fairly regularly am given free proteins and just canā€™t turn it down. Things are getting so bad now, Iā€™m almost turning into a prepperā€¦LOL? Anyway, my whole body was screaming at me last week to buy this Presto Precise 17-quart digital canner. Could it really hold 13 pints? Could it really not heat up the whole kitchen? Could it REALLY not require the intense level of monitoring Iā€™ve gotten myself used to and absolutely dread each time I have a canner-load of something I have to process? Yes. (O.) Yes. (M.) YES! (G!) I thought at first I was going to have to buy a second rack to be able to stack jars to achieve the 13 pints, because you have to do that with the 23-quart canner. But the manual shows how to stack the canner, and they donā€™t use a second rack. Instead, what you do is put seven widemouth jars on the bottom, a circle of six with one in the middle, then six on top of them, staggered so the base/weight of a jar is balanced across the rings of two jars underneath. You donā€™t put a jar in the center on the top rack. I donā€™t can in regular-mouth pints, so I donā€™t know what you would do with those. It seems I read somewhere (or saw on YouTube) that the regular mouth pints are a little narrower and taller and therefore you can only get eight of those in this 17-quart canner. Or maybe I dreamed that after feverishly researching the canner before I bought itā€¦. For the homesteading/off-grid geeks: On Friday, I did a 75-minute initial water test with no stopping to emulate filling the 13 jars. (I also tested that the canner was venting steam properly with the back of a stainless steel spoon; our humidity makes it difficult to see the steam, so thatā€™s something else I now donā€™t have to stress over.) On Saturday, I did 7 pints of salmon for 100 minutes. On Sunday, I did two 75-minute loads, 13 pints of loosely raw-packed ground turkey (for dogs), then 8 pints of raw-packed chicken and 5 pints of purĆ©ed tomatoes. All in my kitchen, all easy-peasy, and really not much heat at all. After I put the pressure regulator on each time, I was off the hook for a good long while, during which time I was able to get a ton of other work done. (That alone is worth the price of the canner.) I ran the canner each time off our 1200-watt off-grid solar array, something Iā€™ve been too afraid to do before, and monitored the total energy consumption: Water test: 1.292 kilowatts Salmon: 1.389 kilowatts Ground turkey: 1.643 kilowatts Chicken/tomatoes: 1.369 kilowatts I was knocked out by how little energy is required to sustain the pressure after the canner starts counting down the minutes youā€™ve set. Hardly any at all! And I appreciate the new design of the sealing ring; it sits down on top of the liner instead of having to go in the lid, so itā€™s easier to take it out and wash/examine it than the ring on my 23-quart Presto is. This and the Prestoā€™s hands-off automatic monitoring features made doing two long loads in one day far less daunting. (Also, out of 46 jars, all but two of my Tattler lids sealed. How unheard of is that? I followed Tattlerā€™s directions for tightening down the rings after removing the jars, not Prestoā€™s instructions not to tighten the rings. I expect they meant the Ball type rings with metal lids.) So why am I so sad? There is ONE reference that I found on the product page to the removable liner being coated in PFAS-free ceramic. Everything else says stainless steel, stainless steel, stainless steel. Well, I donā€™t know how it happened, but somehow between the time I took my canner out of the box new and three days later, Iā€™ve got a big chip or flaked-off place in the bottom of the canner. Did the stainless steel rack somehow bump it when I was removing the liner to wash it? Is that spot just a defective ā€œmade wrongā€ coating point that sort of broke off and floated away under pressure? A product this costly should not have a chunk of coating come off after a few canning sessions. Whatā€™s underneath does NOT look like stainless steel; itā€™s whitish. Who knows what it is? Is it going to affect the longevity or sensing capability of the product? (My guess: yes.) Is it going to get into my canning jars? (My guess: no, but possibly.) Have I contacted customer service about this yet? To be honest, the idea of packing up this great big canner and hauling it across town to the UPS store to return it is unbearable, and I know full well thatā€™s what theyā€™ll say I have to do. I would have to ask a neighbor to go with me because the box is too big and heavy to handle myself. So thatā€™s my review. I LOVE the canner. I donā€™t think I could bear to be without it now that Iā€™ve used it. But I am not at all happy that it has this irritating chipped/flaked off/whatever flaw and really wish the Presto people would somehow reach out to me and make me whole. ... show more
