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.

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.

  • 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

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.

    • Really a good investment!
Style: Canner
(full disclosure: I used AI to write the below review based on my bullet points. I reviewed its writing and it is accurate. The only thing I would add is to wait for the air vent/cover lock to drop after the canning process is complete otherwise you risk broken jars or poor seals). I am not someone who typically writes reviews. For me to take the time, a product has to be either exceptionally good or disappointingly bad. This Presto digital canner is, without a doubt, exceptionally good. It has completely streamlined my food preservation process. The best part is its incredible ease of use. The first couple of times, I kept the quick-use guide handy, but the process is so intuitive that I haven't needed to look at it since. The machine walks you through every step, and it manages the pressure and temperature perfectly on its own. It's a true set-it-and-walk-away device, which is a massive upgrade from nervously watching a stovetop gauge. I have put this machine through its paces using the pressure canning function. I've successfully canned countless jars of broth, meats, fish, and hearty soups and stews. Every single batch has come out perfect. For my canning, I exclusively use Ball Mason jars with their lids and bands. They've been in the business for over a century for a reason, and I trust their quality to match the reliability of this canner. I'll admit, I haven't tried the water bath canning method yet because I've been so focused on pressure canning everything from my pantry and freezer. However, given how flawlessly the pressure canning works, I have absolute confidence that the water canning function will perform just as well. If you're on the fence, I can't recommend this product enough. It takes the anxiety and guesswork out of canning and delivers consistent, safe results every time. ... show more

    • Was Amazing but nowā€¦? (See Updates)
Style: Canner
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

    • Best pressure canner! Plus itā€™s beautiful!
Style: Canner
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
