Going digital makes home canning simpler/easier.

I have been using stove top pressure canners for a few years and now have two digital canners, a Carey and now this Presto. I have used both twice for pressure canning and they are similar, I suppose I especially like the Presto because it does hold a little more, five quarts opposed to four. The Presto is nice that the digital read out tells you just what it is doing. It comes with a one page 'cheat sheet' so instructions are easy to follow and you know what is coming up next. I very much like that these digital canners do not heat up the kitchen so much and there is much less steam coming out of them so my windows are not steamed up when using them in the winter. Two great advantages of these canners is that you do not have to worry about them boiling dry, and after the ten minutes of venting, you can walk away and do what you want, the canner finishes, turns off, and you unplug them, let them cool, unload them, do a little clean up, and that's it. The Presto is a bit bulky, I only have one shelf in a closet where it fits, it's just a bit over 15" tall, but it stores fine once I made a designated spot for it. I'm glad I got the Presto and while I've never done water bath canning, I intend to try doing that with this unit.Read full review...

safe and easy

i gave presto 12 quart digital pressure canner a great use pressure canning my vegetables from the garden this fall season.. i recommend that you do your homework on this product. My research said i was at 750 above sea level which made the presto's electric digital a safe and easy use for a beginner canner.Read full review...

Game changer for canning

Awesome canner. Game changer in both pressure and water bath canning. Highly recommended, if you can find one. I looked for months before finding it on eBay.

Love it!

I'm an old guy who's been canning since I was a boy. I remember helping my Grandmother, my Mom, my wife, and now I'm on my own. I'm not a 'newbie' to pressure canning. This digital electric pressure canner is an absolute game changer. Why? As an official 'old guy' I sometimes tend to doze off a little in my chair in the evenings. Needing to constantly monitor and regulate the flame under my big canners seemed a little risky to me sometimes. I like to process a canner batch in the evenings. Now, all I need to do is get everything ready, and when it tells me to put on the weight, I can go away with total confidence. The canner takes over from there. Perfect! Just the safety and the convenience are enough for me to recommend this. I still have my big canners, and when the garden is producing like crazy (right now!) I still use them for bigger batches. But I would not want to part with this new digital electric one.Read full review...

easy to use, FDA approved

This Pressure Canner takes all the guess work out. Read the instructions and, even as a beginner, you are good to go! I use it almost every day since my purchase.

I hadn't canned since I was a child helping my Mom. This made it SO easy to get back into canning! I would highly recommend this for anyone who cans or who wants to start!

Love the idea of electric, it will free up space on my stove. Giving me more room for prepping all my canning food.

I actually haven't used it yet but after all the reviews. It's what I needed and have been wanting.

Presto digital canner.

It came early, so we used it right away. So easy to use. Just set the time for what you are canning, and it does the rest. Absolutely love it.

Life made simple

I have used a water bath canner for years but have always been intimidated by the pressure canner. This canner is so easy to use, great instructions and perfect results so far. Saves my back from having to lift a heavy pot with water. I could not be happier with my purchase Read full review...
