Presto 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for preserving low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. The Presto 23-quart pressure canner is an excellent choice for home canning needs, offering versatility and professional-grade performance.

Constructed of heavy-gauge, warp-resistant aluminum, this pressure canner heats up quickly and evenly, making it suitable for use on both regular and smooth-top ranges. Its large 23-quart (21.8 liter) capacity allows for big canning jobs, accommodating up to 26 half-pint, 20 pint, or 7 quart Mason jars.

In addition to its canning capabilities, the Presto 23-quart pressure canner doubles as a large-capacity pressure cooker, allowing you to tenderize lean cuts of meat, cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than a microwave while retaining moisture and flavor. The included recipe booklet provides over 50 recipes, from basic soup stocks to hearty stews and even sweet treats like English Plum Pudding.

The pressure canner features a deluxe dial gauge that accurately registers the full range of processing pressures, which is especially important when canning at higher altitudes. The air vent/cover lock ensures that pressure can only build up when the cover is closed properly, preventing the cover from opening until the pressure is safely reduced.

For easy cleaning, the Presto 23-quart pressure canner is designed with a removable sealing ring and a vent pipe that can be kept clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner. The lid is not immersible, but the detailed care instructions in the accompanying booklet will help maintain the canner's performance and longevity.

Backed by a 12-year limited warranty, the Presto 23-quart pressure canner is a reliable and versatile investment for any home kitchen. Whether you're preserving your garden's bounty or preparing quick and healthy meals, this pressure canner is a must-have for any serious home cook.
