    • Was Amazing but now…? (See Updates)
Style: Canner
I love this thing SO MUCH!!! I’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 I’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! I’ve had it for a month and I’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 it’s just me that’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. I’m so glad I did. This has been one of the best investments I’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 I’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. I’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 “we don’t want 2 people working on the same issue “ but she didn’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 couldn’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. I’m in the process of pressure canning split pea soup right now. Here’s my thoughts initially- presto is definitely better. It’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 - I’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. We’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 couldn’t find any evidence that it was a problem before. IMHO if you can afford the Presto it’s worth it. The Nesco also acts as slow cooker and a pressure cooker which really doesn’t impress me. But I’ll definitely it check out even though I’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. That’s good for a newbie canner because I don’t have to guess if it’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 I’m still glad that I bought the Presto in spite of the issue. ... show more

    • So easy to use, so practical...you won't regret it
Style: Canner
Absolutely love this canner. I have the All American 941 which is huge and is able to pressure can 19 quarts at a time. However, you have to do that outside on a turkey fryer burner and isn't practical for small batches. Enter the Presto Digital Pressure Canner. First it is very sleek, beautiful deep bluish purple metal exterior. It is extremely easy to use and QUIET once it Is at pressure. Virtually silent when under pressure. Oh, it also doesn't heat your kitchen up! Side walls get warm but not hot. You can pressure can in your office, bedroom or garage for that matter as you plug it in and go! Let me tell you, I will make a big pot of gumbo, chicken curry, beef stew, etc, I feed the family and then instead of putting the rest into containers in the fridge, I will pressure can 2 to 3 quarts. Absolutely awesome to have shelf stable ready to eat meals that have the meat literally fall apart tender. Also, for you who do retort canning (MRE) type of canning, this allows you to make a small batch to play with recipes. Do a YouTube search on retort canning! Talk about easy preparedness with using jars... Side note...if you ever do retort canning, you MUST use a vacuum chamber sealer, can't use typical sealer, just saying. If you do, the bags will go boom! Yes, a stovetop presto canner is much cheaper, but, this takes some of the "scary" part out of canning. My wife pressure canned green beans for the first time. She was kind of scared of pressure canners, not anymore! You won't be sad to have this. I truly use it every week. Game changer my friends! ... show more

    • LOVE IT
Style: Canner
Been using it for four days now. First few batches I used the cheapest meats ever and they came out like dried turds but the flavor in water was good ... no broth just water. Now I'm doing raw packing. Jars are sooo expensive. I highly recommend this way of life because it makes food faster when hungry and cuts food wastage. I'm still in stage of trying all sorts of stuff to cook up and can. Well I don't cook twice so it all goes into jar raw. This machine is really designed v well. Makes it v easy. Love the beeps. ... show more

    • EASY AND FAST
Style: Canner
My sister ordered this item and raved. So I bought one. She showed me the easy steps to can meat (my first time) and I can can a case in a day now. No watching pressure pot on the stove....no hovering. I even go to bed after hitting the last button step! When I get up, it is depressureized and cool. Does 4 wide mouth quarts and I LOVE this machine. It is a permanent fixture on my counter now. No more wasting leftovers! Fantastic machine!!! My only warning is if you are in an electrical storm, don't use it, because if your power goes out, you can lose y our food and jars. This is the only drawback from the gas stove unit I have...And I got this wonderful machine on sale!!! ... show more

    • So easy to use!
Style: Canner
Sometimes when you see a product that seems too good to be true, it usually is. That's what I thought when I saw this canner, no way could it effectively do both water and pressure. But my mother, who has 50 years of canning experience, swears by it, so I bought one on prime day. This product is wonderful. It walks you through the canning process with simple, easy to follow instructions. I'm running out of jars for canning and am saving money by processing food at home. Highly recommend. ... show more
