Presto 1781 23-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
GREAT Pressure canner, (What's this?) I bought two of these to do my canning this year.
Amazon purchased Presto Pressure Canner, (What's this?) This is a great product for home canning. Easy to use is light weight and easy to store. The price was very good on Amazon about $20.00 cheaper compared to the price at my local stores. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this product.
Presto 23 quart pressure canner, When comparing this Presto model to the similar All American model, the All American appears to be so much better constructed. So much so, that after placing the order I began wondering if I had done the right thing. When I received my Presto last week I was absolutely stunned as to how well it is made. For whatever reason, the pictures do not do the product justice. It works perfectly. As for the gauge accuracy issue, I also purchased the 3 piece weighted regulator set for $11.99. The regulator rocks precisely in sync with the gauge so it serves as a reliable verification. Down the road you might be looking at replacing the rubber cover seals but at LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE, choosing the Presto is a no brainer.
The best bang for the buck, I'd been thinking about getting into pressure canning for years, and I had decided to keep saving my pennies until I could buy the All-American (All American 921 All-American 21-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner), but then I found a great deal on this Presto 23 qt. unit that I just could not pass up...and I'm glad I did. It's a very well made canner--nice thick aluminum construction, positive lock, and redundant safety features. It's heavy duty without being too heavy. The option of using either a pressure gauge or a rattler weight is very convenient. The unit ships with a pressure regulator weight for 15 lbs., but others can be purchased (5, 10, 15 lbs., Presto Pressure Canner Pressure Regulator) if you don't trust pressure gauges.
My initial decision to go for the All-American really came down to not wanting to rely on the gasket on the Presto unit to seal, but the gasket works well and will last for years. The Presto unit also cools down more rapidly than the heavier All-American (and requires no screwdrivers or other prying implements to open), so if you do back-to-back batches, that is a significant advantage. All of that said, the All-American is a beautiful brute...
I recommend purchasing a second canner rack (Presto Cooking/Canning Rack for Pressure Canner) with the unit. It ships with one, allowing processing 7 qts. or 10 pts., but with an additional rack, you can process two layers of pt. jars. (Note that you could use a variety of other racks for this purpose, but the Presto rack is just the right size and is very convenient.)
Regulating pressure on the unit is not difficult. By the second run, I could keep it right at 11 lbs. with no problem at all. My 7 qt. wire water bath canning rack just fits in this pressure canner (Norpro Canning Rack), which was a pleasant discovery.
Great pressure cooker, (What's this?) I recommend this pressure cooker, it's great for cooking and sterilizing things. The pressure gauge is easy to read and helps adjust it to the desired PSI.
Great Canner, Great Price, (What's this?) I try to obtain 70% of my family's food from local sources, including my backyard. This requires me to have a big, high quality canner so we can store up for winter. It fits so many quarts that most days I only need to do one batch. But, if space is an issue and you are just doing small batches you can probably get by with a smaller canner.
Great Cooker, (What's this?) My wife and I had been looking for a pressure cooker without breaking the bank.
Great canner !!!, (What's this?) As a family we purchased this for our daughter and her husband for their birthday.
They loved it and I was able to help her can the pumpkin from their garden. It
worked great.
great product for the price, (What's this?) my wife just started canning, this product made it soooo easy!
good quality at a good price.

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. 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 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.
