The Presto 23 qt. Pressure Canner and Cooker is made for home pressure canning. Pressure canning is the method the US Department of Agriculture recommends as safe for canning vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood. It also works as a boiling-water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa, and as a large-capacity pressure cooker.
The canner is made of warp-resistant, heavy-gauge aluminum for fast, even heating. It has a polished finish. It works on regular and smooth-top ranges.
A dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures. This precise reading is especially important at higher altitudes. An air vent/cover lock lets pressure build only when the cover is closed properly. It also keeps the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced, and it gives a visual indication of pressure inside the canner.
