About the Presto Precise 23-Quart Electric Pressure Canner

The Presto 23 QT Pressure Canner gives home preservers one tool for two canning methods. Pressure mode is the only process the USDA recommends for safely preserving low-acid foods, while water bath mode handles high-acid staples like jams, jellies, pickles, and fruit preserves. The 23-quart aluminum body accommodates large batches on a single run and works on gas and electric ranges, including smooth-top models. Built-in safety features and an easy-to-read gauge take the guesswork out of pressure monitoring, so canners can focus on the food rather than the equipment. Every unit ships with a canning rack to protect jars during processing and a comprehensive recipe and instruction book.
