Our take on the 12 Qt Electric Pressure Canner

The Presto Precise is a 12-quart electric pressure canner that automates the pressure-canning process. It is the first digital pressure canner to meet USDA guidelines for processing meat, vegetables and low-acid foods, and its sensor holds the right temperature without altitude adjustment. A digital display walks you through each step, and it also works as a boiling-water canner. It suits first-time canners and anyone who wants set-and-forget batches of low-acid food; it is not a pressure cooker for quick weeknight meals.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a safer, simpler route into pressure canning than a stovetop canner. They like the guided display and the no-adjustment altitude handling. Complaints center on its size and on batch limits.

  • Batch sizeMixedThe 12-quart capacity suits small batches but fills up fast for larger harvests.
  • VersatilityMixedIt also works as a boiling-water canner, but it is not a quick pressure cooker for meals.

Canning your goods is a process that takes a little bit of time and attention. To make it simpler, Presto® introduces their Precise Digital Pressure Canner to the novice and expert canner! Made from stainless steel and plastic, the Digital Pressure Canning is automated for simple home canning, and it resembles a basic electric cooker. This is the first digital pressure canner to meet USDA guidelines for processing meat, vegetables, and low-acid foods safely.

Other features include an easy-to-use digital display to walk you through every step of the canning process whereas its built-in timer assures accuracy and reliability. You can even use it as a boiling water canner to preserve your favorite red plum preserves, strawberry mint jam, blueberry jelly, pickled okra, and kimchi.

And for your protection, it provides 10 built-in safety features that include a cover-locking system and an alert symbol to indicate an incomplete canning process.
