Presto 02154 16-Quart Digital Pressure Canner

Super happy I bought this. It’s nice for when you do big batches of pints. I also love that it does quarts. It’s a little slower than I’m use to but it’s worth it. Everything works perfectly no leaks easy on / off with lid. Super sturdy and the safety part is a plus. It’s big and it does its job.

LOVE this thing. I was nervous about canning in the first place, but as I watched videos, I realized I would not want to sit on top of a canner and worry about the proper heat and all the things you do to can successfully in a regular canner. As a newbie, this was the best option for me. I have canned over 120 items without a hitch. The first time I used it, it would not go to the canning phase. I searched the internet and found out that the air vent/cover lock was not engaging because the nut that is on the inside of the lid was loose. As soon as I tightened it up, I had no issues. That could have worked its way loose during travel, so not a fault of Presto. It is not loud. I am used to the different sounds it makes, but I appreciate that I can be in different places in the kitchen and it will let me know with a beep or beeping that it is ready to move to the next phase. It seems durable. I don't think it will have any issues in that department. I can tell you that owning this has made me addicted to canning. I am so happy to learn how to do it and to have a canner I can count on every time to come to the correct pressure/temp. and time. Wish I could have a second one.

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!

Fantastic. Canned a lot of fruit this spring and this appliance made it so much easier than than in the past. I live off grid and can save a lot of propane by using my sun energy from the solar rather than canning on the gas stove. But its got SO many more advantages than that. If boils your jars at the right temp, for the right amount of time, let's you know when they are ready to fill, aits for you to fill them keeping the,water at the proper temp, senses when the water around the filled jars is back up to temp before it starts timing the canning. You pre-set the temp and time before everything. Then you close it down, let it can and it does the rest, even a cool down period then let's you know to remove the jars. Takes a lot of keeping track and guess work out and you can just concentrate on all the prep instead. It's truly worth it.

This pressure canner is absolutely amazing! Without a doubt, it’s the best canning purchase I’ve ever made—and that’s saying a lot since I already own two stovetop pressure canners. It’s incredibly easy to use, simple to clean, and the perfect size for canning quart jars or two layers of pint jars. If I had to mention one minor downside, it would be that it takes a little while to cool down after processing. But honestly, that’s not really an issue and certainly doesn’t take away from how well this canner performs. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

I bought this pressure canner earlier in the year and used it for thr first time yesterday. I am totally impressed. This canner does everything for you. All you have you have to do is plug it in, set it for the type of canning you want to do. Turn a dial to set the time and push a button to start. It does everything from warming your jars all the way to the finish. It beeps between cycles. Its a water bath canner and pressure canner in one. I can fit 15 pint jars in it at a time no problem. Wish I had one years ago. I absolutely LOVE it and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to simplify their canning process.

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!!

I’ve been using the Presto Precise 23-Quart Digital Pressure Canner for about two weeks now, and overall I’m very happy with it. I’ve used it for both pressure canning and water bath canning, and it has made the process much easier than using a traditional stovetop pressure canner. There is a slight learning curve when you first get started, especially if you’ve always canned the traditional way, but after a couple of batches it becomes very straightforward. I really appreciate that the digital controls take much of the guesswork out of maintaining pressure and timing. My only real complaint is with the jar warming cycle. If you don’t want to warm your jars first, it’s not very intuitive how to skip that step. Also, once you’ve started a cycle, you can’t adjust the settings or time you have to turn the unit off and start over. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice if Presto added more flexibility in a future model. One thing I’m still keeping an eye on is the removable rack that sits in the bottom of the canner. After a 90-minute water bath of cherry tomatoes, I noticed what looked like scorch marks or discoloration on the bottom when I cleaned it the next morning. I always add a little vinegar to the water, so I’m not concerned about cosmetic staining, but I do hope it’s just normal discoloration and not a sign that something isn’t working correctly. Overall, this has been a great for this beginner’s canning setup. It simplifies both pressure canning and water bath canning, is much less intimidating than a traditional pressure canner, and gives me confidence throughout the process. Despite a couple of minor quirks, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easier way to preserve their harvest. So far have canned squash, beef, beans, tomatos.

I have had my canner a week. Have pressure canned and water bath canned and love it. Such an easy machine to use. Super simple. Absolutely in love so far. The only negetive I have so far is it only comes with one rack so you can’t stack your pressure canner. But there very inexpensive to buy.

Best product for quick results and fairly easy to use.

Best thing ever!

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

Worth every penny!
