Presto 23 qt Pressure Canner and Cooker, Silver

The US Department of Agriculture recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for canning low-acid foods like vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. The Presto 23-quart pressure canner is a versatile tool that serves as a boiling-water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa. It can also be used as a large capacity pressure cooker. Made of warp-resistant heavy-gauge aluminum, this pressure canner ensures fast and even heating on regular and smooth-top ranges.

The deluxe pressure dial gauge on the canner registers the full range of processing pressures, making it especially important for canning at higher altitudes. The air vent/cover lock feature allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly, preventing it from opening until the pressure is safely reduced. With a liquid capacity of 23 quarts (21.8 liters), this pressure canner is perfect for big canning jobs.

The sturdy construction of the Presto pressure canner includes stay-cool handles and a strong-lock steel lid. An accompanying rack keeps jars off the bottom of the pot for better circulation of liquid during canning. The lid locks down securely during canning and cooking, with an inner sealing ring to keep the steam in. The pressure dial gauge ensures accurate pressure readings for consistent canning results.

Cleaning the aluminum pressure canner is easy with nonabrasive cleansers, and occasional use of a fine metal polish can help maintain its shine. The detailed instruction booklet that comes with the canner includes over 50 recipes, from basic soup stocks to stews, pot roasts, and even desserts. The pressure cooker measures 14 inches in diameter and 15-1/2 inches tall, including the lid.

Presto offers an extended 12-year warranty on this pressure canner, guaranteeing its quality and durability. The instruction booklet also covers important safety issues related to pressure cookers, ensuring that users can operate the canner safely and efficiently. With its versatile features and professional-quality construction, the Presto 23-quart pressure canner is an essential tool for any home canning enthusiast.
