T-fal 22-Quart Aluminum Pressure Canner, 3 PSI Settings, Home Canning, Includes Racks & Canning Guide, Large Capacity, Pressure & Water Bath Canning for Vegetables, Meats, Seafood & Fruits, Silver

This canner is phenomenal for the price. I was a bit nervous to buy this canner because it's not as expensive as the other canners I saw, but also isn't $50 bucks or anything. I took the leap and this canner is awesome and does the job.

This pressure is not only budget friendly, but performs very well. Canning is breeze when you can double stack your cans with the included racks. The items it will can is meat and vegetables and of course your jams. The seal works flawless, and the pressure release valve is easy to use as well.

I used this over the weekend. The canner is very well made and should last a long time. The only issue I had was with my glass top stove. There was an issue with the burners keeping consistently high temperature. I’m going to buy a gas burner to put on a camp table for my back deck to see if that will resolve the issue. I’m extremely happy with the pressure canner.

UPDATE 10/31/24 After some months of use I think I am comfortable now saying this pressure canner is easier to use than others in that, it automatically trys to hold at the pressure it is set to. Not that I don't adjust my heat levels, but I think this does most of the heavy lifting there for me. 1 is 5 psi, 2 is 10 psi, and 3 is 15 psi. This canner has worked well for me and holds a lot of pints. I can fit 14 pints in one batch, which is really helpful when you are doing large batches of things. Also, there is a water line marked on the canner, which I completely disregard. If you fill it up that far your jars might tip over... you only need a couple inches in the bottom. Another tip if you don't can... put some vinegar in the water. Helps reduce staining on the inner walls. -------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am new to canning, and I was expecting the PSI gauge pictured, but instead I got a 1-2-3 system. The photos on the listing also seem to contradict the book. Veggies are setting 1 in the image, but the book says setting 2 or 3 depending on altitude. Also the processing time in the included manual is different than my cookbook says. (for instance, Green beans the manual says 75 minutes on setting 2 for my altitude, but my cookbook and internet say 20 minutes on 15 PSI - which I don't know what setting that means) For this reason I am knocking a star off because it's going to take me more time to learn this and I might ruin a few batches of food trying to learn. This is a very large canner, and the price was right though.

I have a large garden and use this for pressure canning my stewed tomatoes peppers and onions. It is safe and easy to use.

I don’t know where to start pointing out all the issues with this 22 quart pressure canner but I’ll do my best: Since 2015 the USDA specifies 11 PSI for dial indicator type pressure gauges and this T-fal 22 quart pressure canner CAN’T do it. All my research from University agricultural extensions and the USDA etc. state that when pressure canning above all it is imperative that the food be processed at a minimum specific pressure for a specific amount of time. These specific pressures are listed for EVERY kind of food (vegetables, meats, soups, jelly etc.). Missing the minimum of either time or pressure and you could end up poisoning anyone consuming your food. This information such as a minimum of 11 PSI vs. the 10 PSI T-fal claims it does on pressure valve setting number 2 is in the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning Agricultural Information Bulletin No. 539, (Revised 2015). T-fal should know being that T-fal themselves refers to this very same USDA information bulletin . . . IN THEIR MANUAL for this 22qt pressure canner cooker on page 26 & page 27. There is a link for the manual on the Amazon listing you are reading right now. T-fal is selling this 22qt pressure canner/cooker on Amazon and they claim it is UL certified. T-fal is selling the same model with one of three different style dial pressure gauges. PSI Gauge Style 1) The pressure gauge shown at the top of this listing shows a pressure gauge dial with three separate green zones labeled 1 - 2 - 3. While there is not any PSI numerical identification on the dial but there are 30 un-numbered segments and I would ‘assume each segment is equal to one psi. Each green zone covers 2 – 3 segments so if the needle is in a green zone the psi in that zone could not be simply stated as 5psi, 10psi or 15psi. PSI Gauge Style 2) This is a real PSI gauge. Under the section in the middle of this listing labeled "From the Manufacturer" there is the description and illustrations. This is where T-fal shows the UL certification seal. In this area T-fal has pictures of this pressure canner but the pressure gauge dial in these pictures is divided into 30 segments with every fifth segment numbered (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.) up to 30psi. Oddly enough in this this same section (and NO WHERE ELSE) T-fal states that the three separate green zones labeled 1 - 2 – 3 correspond to 5psi – 10psi – 15psi - - even though the type dial gauge pictured in this section does NOT have that 1 - 2 - 3 green zone style of PSI gauge dial. PSI Gauge Style 3) The style pressure gauge dial on the 22 qt cooker that I received has a PSI gauge dial that has the stupid three separate green zones labeled 1 - 2 – 3 BUT it only has 27 (not 30) segments. So it is impossible to know what the exact pressure is. But that is a moot point because this gauge can’t get EXACTLY to the 11 PSI required by the USDA. If UL certification means that this T-fal 22 Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner with the style 1 PSI gauge 3 green zone PSI settings show at the top of this listing is safe to can food with; it is NOT. I suspect that the T-fal pressure cooker with the same model number that T-fal submitted for UL certification was the one that had the gauge style 1 pressure gauge dial in that is divided into 30 segments with every fifth segment numbered (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). With this style 1 pictured pressure gauge you (and Underwriters Labs) would KNOW WHAT THE EXACT PRESSURE IS. Finally T-fal does NOT have ANY information regarding the ‘1 – 2 -3’ green zone PSI in the owner’s manual or on their web page for the product or anywhere else on their web site that states 5, 10 or 15 PSI for the green zones. That info is ONLY in this Amazon listing. One more thing . . . If you can navigate your way to this model pressure canner on the T-fal web site the PDF manual you download is NOT for this model. If you download the PDF manual through the link in this listing it is the manual for the 22qt canner with UL certified PSI gauge (style #2). Unfortunately for all the tomatoes I picked from my garden and canned, to be safe I had to settle on going with the highest PSI in green zone number 3. The needle never made it to top dead center which should be 15 PSI. I figure as long as I was over the 11 PSI required by the USDA any bacteria was killed and I won’t be poisoned over the next 18 or so months. However I will have overly mushy tomatoes and chili soup instead of chili. I am returning this.

So much quieter and nicer than the older machines with shakers on the top. One I turn down the heat, the temperature stays true for the rest of the canning time. I love this canner.

Takes the guesswork out of canning

Exelente producto. Tamaño ideal para la familia lo recomiendo ampliamente y su funcionamiento es perfecto y seguro

Love it! Works exactly how it should! Great value for the price

Una olla muy grande,.para ocasiones especiales, tiene mucha capacidad y fácil de usar y lavar

I purchased this canner to do a variety of canning. We have jarred potatoes, stews, chili (yes chili and it stores and jars well) chic peas, kidney beans and meats. It's simple to use and instructions with it are good. It has a good lock. We watched quite a few videos on canners before purchasing this and I'm happy with the purchase.

Maravilhosa!!!
