Presto 01755 16-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker, Silver

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

Constructed of durable heavy-gauge aluminum, the Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner features a deluxe pressure dial gauge that registers precise processing pressures, which is particularly important in high-altitude areas. The special air vent/cover lock mechanism allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced, providing a visual indication of the pressure inside the canner.

In addition to its canning capabilities, this versatile appliance can also be used as a large-capacity pressure cooker for preparing a variety of dishes, including meats, poultry, soups, and desserts. The included cooking/canning rack and easy-to-follow 80-page instruction/recipe book make it easy to get started with both canning and pressure cooking.

The Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner has a regular mason jar capacity of 12 half-pints, 10 pints, or 7 quarts (half-pints and pints only for boiling water processing). Its sturdy construction and stay-cool handles ensure long-lasting performance and efficient, even heating, while the simple cleaning instructions and 12-year limited warranty provide peace of mind for the user.

Whether you are a seasoned home canner or just starting out, the Presto 16-Quart Pressure Canner is an essential tool for safely preserving a wide variety of foods while also serving as a versatile pressure cooker for everyday meals. Its professional-grade design and user-friendly features make it an invaluable addition to any home kitchen.
