Presto 01755 16-Quart Pressure Canner vs Presto 23 Quart Pressure Canner

Buy the 23-quart if you can on an induction range or want one canner for large batches. Buy the 16-quart if you can on gas, electric or smooth-top and want a lighter, easier-to-handle pot. Both are heavy-gauge aluminum with a deluxe pressure gauge, air vent/cover lock and a 12-year limited warranty, and owners praise the simple, reliable design. The 23-quart holds more jars per load and adds an induction-compatible base, but it is bigger and heavier to lift when full.

• Choose the Presto 16-Quart if you can on a gas, electric or smooth-top range and want a lighter canner that is easier to lift and store.
• Choose the Presto 23-Quart if you cook on induction or regularly can large batches and want the extra jar capacity.
