Summary: SEEING IS BELIEVING
Comments: Who would think you could cook a pot of beef stew in 8 minutes - not me. It was trial and error for me the 1st time (read the instructions really well before using it and all will be well). 23 quarts? Man, I made enough stew to feed a small army and it turned out awesome and in such a short time. I was a skeptic of pressure cookers because of the possibility of danger that was associated with this kind of cooking; however with today's technology there are many safety features built into this cooker that nothing is overlooked. If you are looking for a pressure cooker - this is the1to get. Built to last. Heavy, strong and alalmost all indestructible. |

Summary: This thing is a monster
Comments: I have had this unit for more than 3 years, primarily to can tomatoes each year. I usually do pints as they keep fresher after opening (takes less time for us to go through it) and this guy can handle a big load of 20 jars. If you are like me you want to jam on through the processing part of the canning so the bigger the better. You do need a stove than can handle this guy with a high output and big burners, otherwise you will wait forever for it to get to temperature. I have even broke it out a couple of times to pressure cook the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving to make soup. Nothing is better for creating a stock in no time flat than a pressure cooker. The downside is clean up. It's so big it barely fits in the sink. I have recently added a small 6 Qt version for doing cooking in. however when it comes to canning do not even mess with water boiling methods or smaller units. This streamlines the whole canning process. |

Summary: a SUPER deal!!!!!!
Comments: i searched this particular product all over the web, and no price was cheaper than Amazon. Eone else had this for a min of $99 + around $22 shipping and handling. I got this from Amazon for $69 and free super saver shipping. I have always had a great experience with Presto products and this1is no different. I purchased it so my fiance could can deer meat, and this def has alot of room so you aren't waiting around in the kitchen forever to finish a decent sized batch.
It's a heavy pan so I would not put it on a glass topped stove or old coil burner stove.
worth e penny though and it's large enough to pressure cook a decent sized turkey in!! |

Comments: Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
the canning pressure weight is 15 pounds and almost all canning is done at 11 pounds, when you turn the heat all the way down, you hardly use any heat to keep the pressure at 11 pounds, no steam escapes unless over 15 pounds pressure. This is the best canner I ever used. The almost all energy efficient canner I have ever used. once you make the 11 pounds pressure and then reduce the heat as low as it will go, you then can let the canner do its work for 75 to 90 minutes and save on heat bills.
