This is the Canadian model (01785) of the Presto 23-quart pressure canner. The gauge on the American model, 01784, can be checked locally in the US but not in Canada.
The canner is made of heavy-gauge aluminum with a stainless steel-clad base for fast, even heating. It works on induction, glass, electric and smooth-top ranges. It is not designed for outdoor LP gas burners or for gas ranges over 12,000 BTUs.
Pressure canning is the recommended method for vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood. The canner also works as a boiling water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa, and as a large-capacity pressure cooker. An adjustable regulator maintains 5 lb, 10 lb or 15 lb of pressure. An air vent/cover lock lets pressure build only when the cover is closed properly. It keeps the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced, and it shows visually that there is pressure inside.
