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

    • 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

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

    • Great canner, but wish it included adjustable weight
Style: 23 qt Canner
The Presto 0178107 works perfectly and feels solid and well made. It holds pressure very well and does exactly what it should. The only downside is that it only comes with a 15 PSI weight — it would be much better if Presto included the adjustable 5 / 10 / 15 PSI weight as standard. Other than that, it’s an excellent canner and I’m very happy with it. ... show more

    • Very Pleased
Style: 23 qt Canner
This canner will hold: 24 regular half pints 16 wide mouth half pints 20 regular pint sized jars (name brand) 16 wide mouth pints 18 regular pint sized jars (generic) 7 regular or wide mouth quarts 4 half gallon jars Dimensions: 15" high x 12" wide It fits on my stove and clears the hood above it. It does not fit in my cabinets, even with the lid flipped over. It takes up less space on the stove top than my BWB canner so i have more room for other things. It is not necessary to have an extra rack in order to stack jars. Just make sure that the second layer is resting on top of the bands and not on the lids themselves. However, I did purchase the extra rack. The rack also fit into my BWB canner which is great because the old wire rack is completely rusted and needed to be replaced. Canning Rack Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LNY6T2/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk Also purchased the Presto Pressure Canner Pressure Regulator (50332) because I don't have any way to have my dial gauge tested. I relied on the regulator to make sure the pressure was constant. The dial gauge read 12 lbs consistently and that was fine by me. Close enough to where i needed it to be so i feel confident the gauge isn't far off but i won't be canning without the regulator. It was really nice to be able to use the dial gauge and the regulator together. Regulator Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HMBVQ8/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk The directions say to remove the canner from the burner and this was a little difficult. I have had several abdominal surgeries over the years and at times, it is difficult to lift heavy items. I wouldn't want to lift the canner over and over but there are hours in between loads so it isn't impossible. DO NOT let jars cool in the canner overnight. This causes flat sour and it is disgusting. I am 5'4" so reaching in and out of the canner while it's on the stove isn't difficult. My mother is 5'0" and she would be able to do it too but it would be easier with a small step stool or something as small as a couple of bricks. Because it can be used as a water bath canner, i will probably be getting rid of my really old blue speckled canner. DO NOT stack pint jars when using as a BWB canner. The instructions say that you can't process quarts this way but this pot is taller than my BWB canner. So use your own judgement. The directions are well written and easy to follow. I followed them exactly and i had no siphoning and all of my jars sealed. In the past i had issues with siphoning and this time the only change i made was keeping the kitchen windows closed. For those that are afraid of their canner "exploding", there is an overpressure plug. Should too much pressure build up inside the canner, the rubber plug will pop out and relieve the pressure. No explosions, just an un-processed batch of jars. DO NOT use this canner on an induction stove. For that you need a pot that is either all steel, or has steel insert in the base. Do not use pressure canner on an outdoor LP gas burner or gas range over 12,000 BTU's. There is a line of caution about this in the instructions. An additional "Caution" page is included with the directions: Do not use pressure canner on any outdoor heat source such as a gas burner for a turkey fryer. This type of burner will soften the canner causing the bottom to warp. It may also result in property damage and/or personal injury. In addition, the food may not be safely processed.
