Pressure canning can be intimidating, and I’ll admit that I was nervous about canning my first batch in my All-American Pressure Canner more than a decade ago. Those big stove top models are tanks, but they’re also noisy and can be complicated to operate (especially for beginners). They also include an owner’s manual with more detailed maintenance guides, troubleshooting guides, and a recipe book that covers the pressure canning recipes in the USDA Guide to Home Canning, so you have those easily at hand if you don’t have any other canning books. I have seen plenty of people that say they use the Nesco and love it, but I’m honestly struggling. I want to love it, because it’s an economical option…but at this point it’s harder to use than just a standard stovetop pressure canner…and I’d recommend a regular stove top model before the Nesco. Everything is automatic, and it maintains the appropriate temperature inside the chamber all on its own, without manual altitude adjustments. There are steps for warming the jars, venting the canner, and everything else you need to make pressure canning a success. Good for: This versatile smart pressure cooker and canner is an ideal kitchen addition for those interested in canning food who want a reliable pressure cooker without purchasing separate appliances.

Pros and Cons of the Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner

Frozen to Crispy: Skip thawing and save time. Evenly cook frozen food from the inside out, starting with pressure cooking and finishing off with a crisping method of your choice. Do not strike the rim of the removable pot with any utensils. This could damage the rim, which may allow steam to escape and The one thing I will say is that it’s much easier to pre-warm your jars by running them in the dishwasher before canning, and that way, you don’t have to worry about pouring hot water into them (and messily pouring it out). You can just warm your jars in the dishwasher, and you don’t have to warm them in the canner itself.

When venting is over, the canner will prompt you to put on the pressure regulator and turn it to “canning” so that the canner can come up to pressure.

Presto Digital Pressure Canner FAQ

The USDA does not specifically test or approve pressure canners for home use. They do, however, put out guidelines that state what temperatures and/or pressures would be required to process foods safely. Pressure canning can be intimidating, especially for beginners. I remember the first time I turned on my big stovetop pressure canner; I was on pins and needles the whole time it was running, worried it might blow up. It prompts you for every step in the canning process, meaning you can’t forget anything, and then maintains the pressure all on its own, without any fuss. Like most modern pressure cookers, the item has an ergonomic control panel with an LCD screen and touch-sensitive buttons, allowing you to select one of the 15 preset programmes (Meat, Poultry, Vegetables, Steam, Sauté, Slow Cook, White Rice, Brown Rice, Beans, Broth, Curry, Soup, Multigrain, Congee, Yoghurt) or adjust the cooking process manually. For example, you can adjust the cooking temperature and time, and even the pressure level (low, medium, or high). You can also use the machine's delay timer if you want the dish to be cooked when you come home, and a keep-warm function to keep it warm till dinner. While it does “beep” at each step, that’s when you’re actively tending the canner, filling jars, and otherwise fussing with it anyway. Once the final “processing” beep happens, it gets the job done without another peep. Doesn’t Use Stovetop Space

What Customers Are Saying This video walks you through the process of water bath canning in the presto digital pressure canner: I am not in any way associated with Instant Pot or Presto Canning, and I bought these with my own money for this review. My opinions are my own, always.) Pros and Cons of the Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner Presto recently released the first (and only) electric pressure canner ( Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner #02144), and it takes the guesswork (and fear) out of pressure canning. It’s incredibly easy to operate, and it walks you through every step of the process. I have both models, but at this point I only recommend the Presto because it’s much easlier to use. Even as an experienced canner, I have had a number of errors with the Carey that resulted in potentially under processed food. I would love to have a more economical option to reccomend, but at this point, if you’re looking for an electric pressure canner the Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner is by far the best option.A few times already it’s managed to skip the “coming up to temperature” portion of the process, and it just starts the pressure canning countdown (before it’s up to pressure). There’s no way out once it gets into that mode, and you’ll have to re-process the batch.
