This 23-quart pressure canner is made for home pressure canning. It also works as a boiling water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa in half-pint and pint jars. It can be used as a large-capacity pressure cooker for meats, poultry, soups and desserts as well.
The body is heavy-gauge, warp-resistant aluminum for fast, even heating. A deluxe pressure dial gauge shows processing pressures, which matters at high altitudes. An air vent/cover lock lets pressure build only when the cover is closed properly. It keeps the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced, and it shows visually whether there is pressure inside.
It works on gas, electric, smooth-top and induction ranges, though it may not work on all portable induction ranges. It is designed for household range burners of 12,000 BTUs or less. A cooking/canning rack and an 80-page instruction and recipe book are included.
