Our take on the Presto 23-Quart Aluminum Pressure Canner and Cooker 01781

The Presto 01781 is a 23-quart aluminum pressure canner that also works as a boiling water canner for fruit, jam, pickles and salsa. It holds up to 7 quart jars, 8 pint jars or 24 half-pint jars in a single layer, which puts it among the larger canners sold for home use. It runs on gas, electric and smooth-top ranges, so it fits most kitchens without a special burner. It suits people putting up a season of garden produce or bulk meat, and it is the standard first canner for anyone moving beyond water bath preserving.

Questions and answers

Can it be used for water bath canning too?
Yes. With the lid off and the jars on the rack, it works as a boiling water canner for high-acid foods like fruit, jam, pickles and salsa.
How many jars fit in one load?
Up to 7 quart jars, 8 pint jars or 24 half-pint jars in a single layer, depending on jar size and shape.
Does it work on an induction cooktop?
No. The aluminum body is not induction-compatible. It works on gas, electric coil and smooth-top electric ranges.
How often should the dial gauge be checked?
Presto and extension services recommend having the dial gauge tested before each canning season, and replacing it if it reads off.
What comes in the box?
The canner body, a domed lid with dial gauge and regulator, a jar rack and the manufacturer's instruction book.
Is it a good choice for a first pressure canner?
Yes. It is simple to assemble and the instructions walk through venting and bringing it up to pressure, and its size leaves room for full batches.
