Presto 02153 Precise 23-Quart Digital Pressure Canner

This made pressure canning way less intimidating. The instructions are excellent, and I followed them easily. I processed several batches this season and it worked perfectly every time. I probably wouldn't be doing pressure canning without it. One of my favorite perks when using this is that my kitchen does not get nearly as hot when using this as it does when I do the processing on the stove. It says you can do water bath canning with it and has instructions for that, but I don't think I'll ever use it for that simply because you have to boil water on the stove an put in it once your jars are filled and loaded in the pot. I don't want to do that. This was definitely designed mainly for pressure canning, which is what I got it for, so it works for what I want. The only gripe for me is that the fill line is so small that I couldn't see it anymore after the discoloration after using it one time. Not a big issue though, I just measure out the 3 quarts of water when I put it in.

If pressure canning makes you nervous, this is a million times worth the investment! You don’t have to babysit this pressure canner like the old time ones, and it has so many safety features. I like that it will hold 20 pint jars and up to 7 quart jars. It’s relatively easy to clean, and I haven’t had issues with the seal at all. It’s not too heavy either. The quality is amazing and it’s so easy to use. It will tell you exactly what to do each step.

Amazing product. Very easy to operate. You do not have to stand over a stove anymore. Once you put the weight on, you press a button and it does the right. It was hard for me to stand for long periods of time do to a health issue. It also does water bath!

I love this pressure canner! First, it was packaged really well. The instructions are very easy to follow. When I purchased it, I didn't realize you could also water bath can so that was a nice surprise. I just used the water bath canning function last weekend, for the first time and my only complaint would be it seemed to take a long time for it to heat up BUT the directions did say to add boiling water and the water I added was not boiling but room temperature. The canner seems built really well; it's pretty heavy. Definitely worth the money.

My third presto electric product! 12 quart Electric Cooker, 7 years, 12 quarts Electric “Canner”, 7 years, 23 Quart Electric “Canner “, 1 month! I Begged for the 7 quart Canner in Electric, when the 12 Quart came out! But Presto has perfected the design with the New 23 Quart model. The metal on metal closure is very “Safe”. I love the beeping. I can hear it all over the house when the cycle changes. I have toasted my arm a few times putting jars into a hot canner. I’m a short lady and the canner is tall, just be careful. This one is not insulated like the 12 Quart model. Actually that’s an advantage because it makes the Pot lighter and easier to lift and empty. Never try to empty a Hot Canner. Let it Set Overnight! Presto is a great Customer Service Company. They replaced my 12 Quart Canner when the green lid broke. The price is high, but it’s American Made. I’m Proud to be a long time Presto Customer. Yes, I still have the old 23 quart manual canner. Mines an Antique! I keep it in memory of Hard Times, and my Mom. If you choose to buy this 23 Quart Electric Canner you’ll be very happy! Canning 7 quarts at a time is soooo much better than having room for only 5, in my 12 quart model. But being able to do pints in double stacked is an Electric Blessing! It will save you so much time!

Bought for my sister. She said this works very well and saves her a lot of time. Large capacity.

I have used Presto pressure canner for years. Have always loved them. When I saw this electric pressure canner, I had to try it. It's a bit pricey compared to their "regular" pressure canner, but it's on part with the cost of an All American. I took the plunge and bought this one, giving it a first test on a taco soup recipe. It performed great and made pressure canning the soup very easy! I was a but puzzled that it doesn't require you to set a lbs per pressure depending on your altitude. I also do not like that it makes you warm your jars in the canner first before you fill them. There is no way to bypass this step. But overall, this canner has performed great and I look forward to using it for next season's harvest. It's nice that it won't be taking up space on my stove top and it's a stand alone unit. This saves so much time and space!!

Love it , it’s easy to use!!!

Purchased for the wife so she can continue to can in the winter. Win win win!

So easy to use compared to traditional pressure canner. Use distilled water - mine has a terrible burnt smell if I use tap water.

Best product for quick results and fairly easy to use.

Worth every penny!

Amazing!!!
