The Presto 23-Quart is a stovetop pressure canner and cooker built for large batches of low-acid foods like vegetables, meats and fish, and it doubles as a boiling water canner for jams, pickles and salsa. Its standout feature is a stainless steel-clad base that makes it one of the few full-size consumer canners rated for induction, and it also works on gas, electric and smooth-top ranges. It holds 7 quart jars, 20 pints or 26 half-pints, so it suits gardeners and hunters putting up a season's worth of food. Against rival aluminum canners, the induction-ready base and the air vent/cover lock are the main advantages; the trade-off is weight and the need for a burner of 12,000 BTUs or less.

Owners of this canner generally report steady, predictable pressure and even heating, and many chose it specifically because it works on induction. Common complaints center on its size and weight and on the burner limits.
The Presto 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker is a stovetop canner with a 23-quart liquid capacity (21.8 liters). 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.
The body is heavy-gauge polished aluminum with a stainless steel-clad base for fast, even heating. An air vent/cover lock lets pressure build only when the cover is closed properly. It also keeps the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced.
Pressure canning is the only method the U.S.D.A. recommends as safe for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and fish. The unit also works as a boiling water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsas. It holds 26 half-pint, 20 pint, or 7 quart Mason jars, and it comes with a 12-year limited warranty.
