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

  • Highly recommend!
Style Name: 23 qt Canner
It’s large enough for big batches of food, easy to use, and it holds pressure well. I’ve used it several times for canning fruits and vegetables, and it has worked flawlessly every time.

  • Love it!
Style Name: 23 qt Canner
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

  • Presto 01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker: A Multifunctional Marvel for Mushroom
Style Name: 23 qt Canner
The Presto 01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, with its 23 qt capacity and sleek silver design, has been a game-changer in my mushroom growing endeavors, and I am more than happy to share my positive experience with this versatile tool. From the get-go, what impressed me was its sheer size and simplicity of use. The canner is spacious enough to accommodate all my sterilization needs without feeling cumbersome. Its construction is robust, promising longevity and resilience, especially important when dealing with the rigors of regular sterilization processes required in mushroom cultivation. The ease of assembly and operation is noteworthy. Setting it up was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions provided, making it ready for use almost immediately. The inclusion of a 15lb pressure regulator, contrary to my initial belief, negated the need for any additional purchases, streamlining the process further. Its performance in sterilizing mushroom substrate jars has been exceptional. The canner efficiently reaches and maintains the necessary 15psi, crucial for eliminating any contaminants, thereby ensuring a sterile environment for mushroom spawn. The safety features, including a lock that engages with pressure buildup and a vent pipe acting as a primary pressure relief valve, instill confidence in its use, mitigating any concerns of potential mishaps. The capacity to hold and effectively sterilize multiple jars in a single session has significantly optimized my workflow. Not only does it save time, but it also allows for larger batches to be prepared, enhancing productivity. The durability of the canner, evidenced by the heavy-duty seal and quality materials, ensures that it can withstand the demands of frequent use. While primarily purchased for mushroom growing, its versatility extends beyond, capable of canning a wide array of foods, which speaks to its multifunctionality. The only caveat noted was the gauge and weight discrepancy during operation, which required some attention to ensure accurate pressure management. However, this was a minor issue in the grand scheme, easily overshadowed by its overall stellar performance. In conclusion, the Presto 01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker has been an invaluable addition to my mushroom cultivation toolkit. Its robust construction, ease of use, and exceptional functionality make it a highly recommended purchase for anyone in the field. Whether you're a seasoned mycologist or a hobbyist looking to dive into mushroom cultivation, this pressure canner and cooker is a wise investment that promises reliability, efficiency, and safety. ... show more
