Description

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for low-acid foods. Doubles as a boiling water canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa in pint and half pint jars. Also handy as a large capacity pressure cooker. Constructed of warp-resistant, heavy-gauge aluminum for fast, even heating. Works on regular and smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures. This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes. Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. 23-Quart liquid capacity (21.8 liters). The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. The Presto 23-quart pressure canner is more than adequate for any home canning needs. It's a professional-quality tool, made of heavy-duty aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a strong-lock steel lid. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, so that liquid can circulate underneath. And it can do double duty as a large pressure cooker. It's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. The sturdy lid locks down during canning or cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. The pressure dial gauge gives an accurate reading so that pressure can be kept constant during canning. This pressure canner is also a cooker that's useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding or Brown Bread! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The lid of the Presto 23-quart pressure canner is not immersible. In addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The dial gauge is delicate; detailed care instructions are found in the accompanying booklet. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 14 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 15-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

    • Good product
Style: 23 qt Canner
Easy to use. Works very well. Put an ounce of white vinegar in the pot with the water to keep it looking new. I've used mine for all canning. Good maintenance has given us great service.

    • Amazing Quality and So Easy to Use
Style: 23 qt Canner
I've been using this for over a year now, and it's been amazing. The quality is really good and it's the best canner I've used. I checked prices everywhere, and Amazon had the best deal by far. It's all aluminum and works great on my glass-top stove. The thick bottom plate spreads heat evenly, and it easily holds 18 PSI by adjusting the heat. It's way lighter and much quieter than my old All American canner - no loud noise that bothers anyone in the house. I use it almost weekly for canning vegetables, meats, and soups. It holds a lot, heats evenly, and keeps pressure really well. Super simple to use, and cleanup is easy too. If the rubber gasket wears out, it's only $7 to replace. The manual warns not to use it on outdoor propane burners over 12,000 BTU or it'll warp, but on a regular stove, it's perfect. It's held up perfectly with frequent use. Definitely worth the investment and should last me a long time. Highly recommend if you want a solid, no-fuss pressure canner. ... show more

What a fun toy this is! Once you get the hang of it you're off and running. I have a garden and I like to store up soups for winter. I'm very pleased with it. No problems and the quality seems to be excellent.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve owned my Presto 01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker (23 qt) for over a year now, and it has been absolutely fantastic. It’s incredibly easy to use, even if you’re newer to pressure canning, and the instructions are clear and straightforward. I use it for all my canning—vegetables, meats, soups—you name it. It holds a great capacity, heats evenly, and maintains pressure beautifully. Cleanup is simple, and it’s held up perfectly with frequent use. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a dependable, no-fuss pressure canner that will last for years. ... show more

I've done a fair amount of water bath canning in the past, and I work with pressure vessels every day at work, but for some reason I've always been freaked out by pressure cooking/canning. I'm really glad I finally decided to push past that, because it turns out I love it. It was easy- in some ways easier than water bath canning, and is clearly very safe. I especially love the little silicone over pressure plug in the lid. It also seems impossible to put the lid on wrong, and everything is very well-made. The manual gives instructions for doing a "dry run" with a few cups of water and no jars, just to go through the process of bringing it up to pressure etc, and I definitely recommend doing that if you've never pressure canned before, it made me feel much more confident doing my first real batch. I've now done two batches, one of squash and one of half pumpkin half beans, and I have no complaints at all! I went back and forth on which size to get, particularly because we're a family of 2, I thought the larger might be overkill. Ended up going with the larger, 23 quart version, and very glad I did. When it first arrived I thought omg that's huuuuge, but when I actually started putting jars in it, it's not a ton of space. Plus if you want this to do double duty as a water bath canner, I think the 23 quart is a must. If you're struggling to fill the canner, you can put a few jars of filtered or distilled water in with your batch- makes for good emergency drinking water! Ultimately I think the larger size is more efficient, even for small families. Since this is my only pressure canner experience, I don't know how presto compares to other brands. However, this was very easy to use for a beginner, and in my opinion very reasonably priced for the value. I expect it will get lots of use, I will update if I run into any problems- but for now this thing is awesome! ... show more
