Our take on the Presto Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner

The Presto 01781 is a 7-quart polished aluminum pressure cooker that doubles as a boiling-water and pressure canner. It holds 24 half-pint, 20 pint or 7 quart jars, and its domed lid and tall body give it more canning room than most 6-quart cookers. It works on gas, electric and smooth-top ranges, though aluminum will not work on induction. Reviewers treat it as a dependable, simple canner for beginners and small batches; rivals like the All-American 921 are heavier, stovetop-only and built to last decades, while stainless cookers resist staining better but cost more.

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Can it be used for both pressure canning and water-bath canning?
Yes. With the regulator on it pressure-cans low-acid foods; with the lid off or the regulator removed it works as a boiling-water bath for high-acid foods like tomatoes and pickles.
Does it work on induction cooktops?
No. The aluminum body is not induction-compatible. It works on gas, electric coil and smooth-top radiant ranges.
How many jars does it hold?
It holds 24 half-pint jars, 20 pint jars or 7 quart jars in a single layer.
Does it have a pressure gauge?
No. Pressure is set by the weighted regulator that jiggles at the target level; there is no dial gauge for reading exact pressure.
Is it dishwasher-safe?
No. Hand wash and dry it; dishwasher detergent darkens and pits bare aluminum.
What comes in the box?
The canner body, domed lid, weighted regulator, vent pipe and a rack for keeping jars off the bottom.
