- How many jars fit in the Presto 01755?
- It holds 7 quart jars, 10 pint jars or 13 half-pint jars in a single layer. That suits moderate batches rather than a full day of canning.
- Does it work on a smooth-top range?
- Yes. Presto rates it for gas, electric and smooth-top ranges with burners up to 12,000 BTUs. It is not rated for induction cooktops.
- Is it a pressure canner or a water bath canner?
- Both. You can use it with the regulator for pressure canning low-acid foods or without pressure for water bath canning high-acid foods.
- How does it compare with the 23-quart Presto canner?
- The 23-quart model holds about twice as many jars and suits large gardens. The 16-quart is lighter and easier to handle but needs more batches.
- Do I need to test the dial gauge?
- It is wise to have the dial gauge checked for accuracy, since processing times depend on correct pressure. Many local extension offices offer this service.
- What is covered by the warranty?
- Presto offers a 12-year limited warranty on the canner. Keep your receipt, since claims usually require proof of purchase.
