Presto Pressure Cooker Canner Is Great For Home Canning Needs

Last Updated on October 30, 2015 by Cassie Lyons

What better way to make use of a garden harvest or great deal on fruit and veggies at the farmer’s market than to can your bounty? With the 23 Quart Aluminum Presto Pressure Cooker and Canner, you are able to can what you want safely while being in control of the ingredients. With safety in mind, this Presto Pressure Cooker Canner designed the canner with a sturdy lid that locks down during the canning process. In fact, pressure is only allowed to build when the lid is properly closed. In addition, a built-in pressure plug lets off excess steam as needed. An easy-to-read pressure dial gauge lets the cook keep an eye on the pressure level.

This large Presto Pressure Cooker Canner holds twenty pint jars, twenty-four half-pint jars or seven quart jars. Serving a dual purpose, this canner also acts as a pressure cooker. Use this feature to create not only soups or stews but also roasts and even desserts. An instruction and recipe booklet are included with this model.
