Crafted from warp-resistant aluminum, it features a deluxe pressure dial gauge for precise control, works on all stove types, and includes a canning rack plus a comprehensive recipe booklet. Backed by a 12-year warranty, it’s designed for serious home canners and busy professionals seeking efficiency and reliability.

## Description

desertcart.com 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 Product 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).

Review: Excellent Cooker - This is a great item to have in the kitchen. Though large, it works well and completes the job. Cooking time is cut in less than half. It cook everything evenly as well. I can do a soup and place all my ingredients in at the same time and when the pressure reaches 15, everything is completed and I don't have the problem with some food melting away and some not cooked. No leakage, no fear of explosion, nothing sticks to the bottom, neither does the water evaporate quick, actually you have to be careful you don't put too much water in the pot. Excellent!
Review: Wonderful and worth the investment - I’ve enjoyed canning with my Presto. I purchased this in September of 2025 and have prepared 100s of quarts and pints on my family’s favorite foods. The instructions are easy to read and understand, and using this is relatively straightforward. I love canning so much that I’m now looking for a smaller electric canner for smaller batch items.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many qt jars can be canned in this pressusre canner?**
A: 7 quarts jars. 10 regular mouth pints jars. I currently today have 20 pints of pork canning (i have an additional metal plate like the one that goes on the bottom ) 10 pints on the bottom and 10 on the top rack. You can not double stack quarts. This is the best canner I have owned

**Q: How many Quart and pint jars does it hold?**
A: I would not put in more than 9 regular mouth pint jars per level, for a total of 18 jars. When you put in 10/level the jars get wedged in and there's a risk of jars cracking, based on my experience. I've been canning for 50+ years and am on my third 23-quart pressure canner just my opinion.

**Q: Can this canner be safely used on a glass-surface range?  If so, what is the smallest burner on which it can be safely used?**
A: The issue people have with using large vessels on glass top ranges is that if the vessel is larger than the burner ring, it could transfer heat past the area where the glass has been properly tempered for high heat (outside of the burner ring). This could cause a failure in the glass top surface.

I would check with your range mfg as well as inly cook in a burner that is the same diameter as the vessel you're using.

**Q: how pressure is regulated**
A: The pressure is actually regulated by a weight that sits on top of the vent pipe.  The canner comes with a weight for 15 PSI, but Presto has weights for 5 & 10 PSI.  You may also manually regulate the pressure by monitoring the gauge and controlling the heat under the pot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Want A Pressure Canner? Get This One!!
*by A***O on October 24, 2016*

23 Quart pressure canner for $76 plus free shipping? Okay, sounds great. Shipped USPS on 10/22 arrived on 10/23 [Sunday]?? Stunned, is what I am, stunned. A big THANK YOU to the shipping team at Amazon!! Okay, so here's my review. All aluminum, body & top are lightly polished. The bottom has a 10 inch diameter, 1/4" thick bottom-plate to disperse heat better. The pressure caner can be used on a glass-top range... just tested it on mine [a Jenn-Air Model... well in Jenn-Air fashion, they put the info on the underside of the stove... very smart move!], worked great. In the Presto manual, there are more than a few warnings NOT to use this unit on an outdoor propane cooker as the excessive heat will warp the bottom. It states, nothing over 12,000 BTU burner, which is a normal large burner on an average range top. I also own an All American 21.5 qt pressure caner. My personal opinion is, the Presto is better for non-industrial useage. The Presto costs 66% less, is MUCH lighter, can be used on a glass-top range where the All American cannot, mostly because of it's weight. The Presto is WAY quieter. The shuka - shuka - shuka of the 'vent-weight' on the ALL American is so loud my wife asked me never to use it when she's home reading or watching the Idiot Box. To keep 'things' copacetic at home, I obliged. Presto's is as quiet as it gets. No complaints from the wife, 10 feet away, reading... always reading. If the Presto's rubber gasket fails over time, a new one can be had for $7. If the aluminum mating surfaces of the ALL American fail, you have to buy a new pressure caner, or take it to a machine shop that can accommodate a 15 inch part on a lathe. How can it fail? If you don't clean it immediately after use, maybe, for whatever reason, you don't get to it for a week, pitting of the mating surfaces will occur. At that point, unless you have a lathe that can chuck a 20" part, the ALL American is toast. I've personally seen this pitting happen more than once. This happened when cooking a roast, beef tongue, not canning. The meat was removed, the liquid was left behind for about 2 weeks because of an out-of-state family emergency. "Somebody" was not pleased when he attempted to use it the next time. The ALL American, no matter how tight the lid, would not hold pressure. All American caners/cookers are super high quality, VERY heavy duty. But as we age, that weight can become a problem. So, I'm pretty stoked with the Presto, the price and, the shipping miracle.
