Presto 16-Quart Aluminum Pressure Canner, Silver

The Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner is a versatile and reliable appliance designed for easy and confident home pressure canning. It is the only safe method recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for canning low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. This pressure canner also doubles as a boiling water canner, allowing you to preserve fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars.

Featuring a deluxe pressure dial gauge, the Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner registers precise processing pressures, which is particularly important when canning in high-altitude areas. The special air vent/cover lock ensures that pressure can only build up when the cover is properly closed, and it prevents the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced. This visual indicator provides additional peace of mind during the canning process.

Crafted from durable heavy-gauge aluminum, this pressure canner offers fast and even heating, ensuring consistent results. It also functions as a large-capacity pressure cooker, allowing you to prepare a variety of dishes, including meats, poultry, soups, and desserts, with ease.

The Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner comes complete with a cooking/canning rack and an 80-page instruction/recipe book to guide you through the canning and pressure cooking processes. It can accommodate up to 12 half-pints, 10 pints, or 7 quarts of canned goods (half-pints and pints only for boiling water processing).

Designed for versatility and durability, the Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner is a valuable addition to any kitchen, offering a safe and efficient way to preserve a wide range of foods. With its heavy-duty construction, user-friendly features, and comprehensive instructions, this pressure canner ensures a seamless and confident home canning experience.
