Product Description
Pressure canning, the only method recommended safe by the USDA for canning low-acid foods, allows you to preserve meats, vegetables, and fruits. Presto pressure canners feature an easy-to-read dial gauge for accurate pressure control and extra strong, warp-resistant aluminum construction. The air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. Includes cooking/canning rack and complete instruction/recipe book. 22-quart liquid capacity (20.9 liters).

We needed a pressure cooker that would work on our glass top stove. Not many of them do so we were very happy when we found this one...It's a GREAT pressure cooker and we love it! :)

I received this as a gift 3 years ago. Since then, I have canned just about everything you can imagine in it. The only complaint I have is that the outside spots up and the inside stains, but I guess it's from all the use. I would definitely buy another one of these, but I think mine will last for years.

There isn't much I can say besides that it does just what you expect it to do. It works, it seals fine, it keeps pressure fine. It works as a water bath canner just fine. Really, it does what it needs to do. I've put up about 300 cans so far and it's doing just fine. (from applesauce to grape juice to green beans to venison)
My sister got the All American Canner and we canned side by side a lot so we could compare the two. Here's what we noticed the difference are:
All American is a heavier pot. She can make applesauce in hers w/o burning the bottom (I burned mine), but I can use the Presto one on my glass top oven which she can't do with her All American because of how heavy it is.
The All american has a bit of a domed lid which means she can fit one more can in hers than I can. Somehow, since the middle is higher, we had an instance where hers was able to fit the combinations of stacked jars and my Presto wasn't.
The All American is a weighted gauge canner, while this Presto one is a dial gauge canner. In my estimation, that means the All American needs less babysitting than the Presto. I had to keep adjusting the heat under my Presto to make sure I wasn't getting it too high or letting it fall too low. She could put her weight on the canner and walk away knowing it would stay at 10 lbs w/o much fuss.
And finally, the All American has a handle on the top that makes transporting it much easier.
All that being said: they canned exactly the same. Every time we canned side by side, the time to bring them up to pressure, the time to can, and the time to bring them back down took exactly the same amount of time.
I had to go with the Presto because of my glass top range.... Read more ›

Outstanding product, easy to use! I have been canning for years with an older model and now use both when canning to get twice as much done at a time.

This pressure canner came very well wrapped and secured. It is beautiful and I love the little instruction booklet that came with it.
The last canner I bought had a big ole book that was complicated and I never did figure out how to use the thing.
In this new canner booklet each fruit or vegetable has its own instructions giving time limits and pressure amounts. I have already successfully used it twice.
The book also explains care and replacement parts options. It even told me how to protect my stove top. I am very pleased with this pressure canner.

This my first canner and I am very pleased with it. Found it easy to use and have canned 10 jars of chili and I am ready for more. Also this package came with 5 piece canning kit and Blue ball book with it and is very helpful.

We purchased the pressure cooker as a combination birthday/Christmas gift for our daughter-in-law. If it works as well as the one I purchased and have been using for over 15 years it will be awesome. Mine is also a Presto!!!
