Compatible with gas, electric, and smooth-top ranges, it includes a rack and a comprehensive recipe booklet, making it an essential tool for efficient, nutrient-preserving cooking and preserving. ## Description desertcart.com The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. The Presto 16-quart pressure canner is more than adequate for any home canning needs. It's a professional-quality tool, made of heavy-duty aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a strong-lock steel lid. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, so that liquid can circulate underneath. And it can do double duty as a large pressure cooker. It's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. The sturdy lid locks down during canning or cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam-release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. The pressure dial gauge gives an accurate reading so that pressure can be kept constant during canning. This pressure canner is also a cooker that's useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding and Brown Bread. Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The lid of the Presto 16-quart pressure canner is not immersible. In addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The dial gauge is delicate; detailed care instructions are found in the accompanying booklet. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures approximately 14-4/5 by 14-4/5 by 12 inches and carries a 12-year limited warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers Product Description The Presto 16-Quart pressure Canner is designed for easy, confident home pressure canning.

We use quart jars only so I would like confirmation? Thanks** A: Per the manufacturer website: "Mason Jar Capacity: 12 Half-Pints, 10 Pints, 7 Quarts*.*Pints and half pints only for water bath method" www.gopresto.com **Q: Does the regulator is set at 15 pound? Why do some people buy the extra weight?** A: This canner is ready to use as-is by closely monitoring the dial gauge. The regulator cap that comes with it will keep the steam valve closed until the pressure reaches 15psi, at which the regulator will start to wiggle to let off steam and relieve pressure. I choose to use the 5/10/15 weighted regulator because most of my canning is at 10psi. I set it for the proper weight so it wiggles at 10psi. This gives me an audible cue at 10psi so I don't have to watch that dial like a hawk. I can hear the rhythm of the regulator rocking and more easily adjust the heat without dipping below pressure and having to start the time over. I can keep it within earshot while I do other things. Without it, I was constantly checking the quite canner to make sure it hadn't dropped below 11 on the dial; plus, I don't worry about the dial malfunctioning because the rocking regulator insures I'm at pressure. **Q: Does this canner come with a rack in the box?** A: No rack, just the removable base with holes to keep the jars off the bottom of the pan. I use my jar lifter from my kit and have not had a problem. Yeah, it would probably be a little easier with a rack, but not enough to justify the additional cost if it was included. With my arthritis, I couldn't lift the weight of all the jars anyway. Dear Hubby does it for me with the water bath canner. **Q: does it come with the weighted guage?** A: Our 16 quart(01755) model canner comes with a steam dial gauge and a 15 pound regulator that will only rock when the pressure has reached 15 pounds. Your steam dial gauge will show you the amount of pressure in the canner. You will need to adjust the heat to maintain the correct pressure that is called for in the recipe.If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail us at contact1@gopresto.com.
