  Presto electric pressure canner

  So easy to use. I love it. I have been sitting on the fence with this for a couple years. Do I purchase this or not. Pressure canner to me, is intimidating, but I had heard that this one, easy to use. Okay. I noticed it had gone down in price and I decided to bite the bullet !! ordered it and used it the next day to water bath can. I was anxious, but, I followed the cheat sheet instructions, and wow !! Super easy, start to finish. Now I will use it to pressure can tomorrow and feel comfortable that it will be a "set it and forget it" till it beeps to let me know its done. This has opened the door to all those recipes that I put aside because I was scared of pressure canning. If you own an instant pot, you will have no problem. Same kind of idea only bigger kitchen appliance. Thank you, thank you.

  Excellent product makes canning fun!

  Love it! Doesheat my house on a hotDay! Never had a jar not seal. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a fear of a pressure canner. It’s sooo easy with this. I use it weekly. With meat getting so expensive I buy on sale and can one jar meals or whatever else.. it was expensive but I have no buyer’s remorse lol

  Worth it

  Arrived insanely fast. The canner itself is amazing and super easy to use. Pretty much a set and forget in comparison to tradional types. I wish I had five of these things

  Have used this product before..........

  This was a second purchase ...really good and takes the hassle out of constant 'baby sitting' traditional pressure canners - HOWEVER this purchase failed to function, was returned and refunded. Perhaps it had a 'bad' journey. So now I'm 'baby sitting, my original presto canner !! :)

  Exactly what I needed

  As someone who grew up with family that canned my entire childhood, you'd think I would know how to can. I know the basics but never tried as an adult because the thought of so many tools pushed me away.This digital canner is amazing! So easy to use. There is a great manual, but they also include a wonderful "quick start" guide that is laminated!Everything fits tight, the process is smooth. 100% success rate so far with jars sealing. It is a heavy machine, but it works well and I have zero complaints. Will definitely be used for years!

  So extremely happy and yet so horribly sad at the same time

  This is a long and, hopefully, informative review. I’ve been using Presto’s “old reliable” aluminum 23-quart pressure canner with a third-party pressure regulating “rocker” instead of the dial gauge. I can mostly pints of meats, fish, and poultry, and this old canner can hold 16 of them. (I had to purchase a second rack for the top jars.) But we live in Zone 8b, the hot/humid South, and I cannot bear to can in the house, nor can we afford to. (The canner’s power consumption per load is a LOT, and then add to that how much harder the air conditioner has to work with the canner heating up the whole house.) Instead, I’ve used an infrared burner outside and constantly monitor a load over many hours. It’s one of the most stressful things I do, but I fairly regularly am given free proteins and just can’t turn it down. Things are getting so bad now, I’m almost turning into a prepper…LOL?Anyway, my whole body was screaming at me last week to buy this Presto Precise 17-quart digital canner. Could it really hold 13 pints? Could it really not heat up the whole kitchen? Could it REALLY not require the intense level of monitoring I’ve gotten myself used to and absolutely dread each time I have a canner-load of something I have to process?Yes. (O.) Yes. (M.) YES! (G!)I thought at first I was going to have to buy a second rack to be able to stack jars to achieve the 13 pints, because you have to do that with the 23-quart canner. But the manual shows how to stack the canner, and they don’t use a second rack. Instead, what you do is put seven widemouth jars on the bottom, a circle of six with one in the middle, then six on top of them, staggered so the base/weight of a jar is balanced across the rings of two jars underneath. You don’t put a jar in the center on the top rack. I don’t can in regular-mouth pints, so I don’t know what you would do with those. It seems I read somewhere (or saw on YouTube) that the regular mouth pints are a little narrower and taller and therefore you can

  Great for beginners and seasoned canners

  I love this canner! I have had it two years now and used it several times to make jams and pressure can several other things. Great quality, doesnt look or feel cheaply made. Every step is so easy to follow and no guess work through any of it. Absolute dummy proof! Would definitely buy again!
