Our take on the MegaChef Aluminum Stovetop Pressure Cooker

The MegaChef 24-Quart Aluminum Stovetop Pressure Cooker is a large-capacity pressure canner built for putting up big batches of vegetables, fruit, and meat at home. Its 24-quart body, 13.7-inch diameter, and steamer grid suit families canning in volume, and the removable pressure gauge plus integrated lid lock give you a reading and a safety backstop. Aluminum heats fast and evenly but is lighter and less corrosion-resistant than the stainless steel canners it competes with, and it works on induction as well as gas and electric. Owners rate it well overall, though some note the gauge and seal need watching and the size is heavy when full.
