The thinkstar 24 Quart Pressure Cooker and Canner is a large stovetop aluminum pressure canner aimed at home canners and big-batch cooks. It offers three pressure settings (35, 70 and 100 kPa, roughly 5, 10 and 15 psi) and a bolt-on lid gauge so you can watch pressure instead of guessing from a jiggler weight. The 24-quart body holds about 7 quart jars per load, putting it in the same class as the All-American 921 and Presto 23-quart canners, but it uses a gasket and a dial gauge rather than All-American's metal-to-metal seal. Buyers get a lot of capacity for the outlay, but the aluminum is thinner than premium US canners and the gauge is not certified for dial-gauge canning.

Owner feedback on this class of imported aluminum canner is limited and mixed. Buyers like the capacity and the visible gauge, but canners warn that an uncertified dial and a thin gasket seal are weak points for safe pressure canning.
This is a 24-quart (23-liter) pressure cooker and canner made from heavy-duty, anti-rust aluminum. It measures 32 x 32 x 40 cm. The base is designed for rapid, even heat conduction and works with various stovetops.
The cooker has three adjustable pressure settings: 35 kPa, 70 kPa and 100 kPa. Pressure can reach 10 psi or 15 psi. A pressure gauge attaches to the lid and shows the pressure inside, so you can monitor and record the pressure used for different dishes. This is useful for precise measurements, especially at higher altitudes.
The lid has a sealing ring around its edge to hold pressure and prevent leaks. A locking mechanism clicks into place as an added safety measure. A pressure monitoring device is built into the handle. The cooker can be used for canning jams, meats, vegetables, fruits and seafood, a method the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends.
