My new favorite electric pressure canner
on August 25, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you are serious about canning with an electric unit, this is the way to go! I own several other Electric Pressure Canners -- including the Presto Precise Digital 12 quart, as well as a stovetop Presto 23 quart. I can lots of soups and home-grown veggies. I love that when I need to do a large batch, I need to use only one electric pressure canner instead of pulling out multiple smaller units. I also love that there's no liner, and the canning process remains simple and do-able for the busiest folks! Remember, as always, to use tested times and recipes! Thanks much for this newest addition Presto!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Effortless, Reliable, and Perfect for Big Batches
on August 24, 2025

I recently purchased the Presto digital pressure canner, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Although I’m an experienced water-bath canner, I’m still relatively new to pressure canning and was initially hesitant to try a digital model. After using this canner, I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations.
As a busy homesteading mom with three children under four, I appreciate any tool that simplifies my workload. This canner is truly a lifesaver. It’s easy to operate, requires no constant monitoring, and offers the largest capacity available on the market. I also love that it frees up valuable stove space, especially important in a smaller kitchen, so I can continue cooking meals or working on other projects while the canner runs. Presto has clearly put a great deal of thought into both convenience and performance with this design.
In addition to home use, I create content for Can-uary each January, where I share daily canning projects. This canner will significantly reduce the stress of producing consistent, high-quality content while also keeping up with the demands of regular food preservation.
The only improvement I would suggest is a removable power cord for easier storage. Otherwise, the canner is excellent. In fact, I’m already considering purchasing the smaller version as well, which would be ideal for days when I’m processing especially large batches and want to run two canners at once.
Overall, I highly recommend the Presto digital pressure canner to both new and experienced canners who want reliability, efficiency, and capacity without sacrificing ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My only complaint is for the price you would think they could find a way to keep the inside nice and shiny like first out of the box. Other than that I'm loving it.

It is normal for the inside of the canner to discolor. This discoloration, which is not harmful, is a result of the various minerals in your water interacting with the aluminum of the canner. To minimize this discoloration, add 1 teaspoon cream of tarter or 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the water in the canner each time you use it. Enjoy your canner!

Best of both products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own all the digital models and I also own all sizes of the stove top models of Presto Pressure Canners.
I have owned the Presto Precise Digital for over 5 years and absolutely love them. However, the 5 quart capacity is a bit under what I typically need. When the new 16 quart Model, 10-30225 came out I was excited to give it a try!
I have owned the Presto Precise Digital for over 5 years and absolutely love them. However, the 5 quart capacity is a bit under what I typically need. When the new 16 quart Model, 10-30225 came out I was excited to give it a try!
What is most desirable about this new model is that it holds 7 quarts and 8 or 10 pints, (wide or regular) and is smaller in physical size than the original Presto Precise.
The new 16-quart, like it's Stove top companion can Waterbath can as well as Pressure can. The Digital display is quite easy to follow and the Quickstsrt Guide ensures an error free result.
After a test run of water, I canned Fresh Beans. I used the Ball Book recipe for Hot Packed beans.
I ran both Digital units side by side to make a comparison. I did notice there is a 3 quart mark inside the canner for the fill line. I had read others said they didn't see one. There is a 3 quart fill line.
The warm cycle in the 16 quart was a bit longer, however, to be fair there were more jars. It held the temperature well as I fill individual jars.

I found that the unit cycled nicely and I didn't have any error codes.
I prefer the longer cord as it gives me more flexibility in where I can can. I also appreciate how little steam and humidity is created in my kitchen. (A big bonus in summertime canning).
The one main difference is that there isn't a separate pot inside the canner as there is in the other Digital models. The big benefit is that you can safely add vinegar or cream of tartar to prevent hard water stains without the potential for the coating to flake off as it had on some of the older digital models.
The 16 Quart digital cannot be submerged in water and there for a bit more "clumsy" to clean than those with a removable pot. However, it's easy enough to clean and dry.
The one thing I did notice was that the pressure relief valve did not drop at the same time as the canner signalled "done". I waited about 30 to 45 minutes for it to drop. I didn't notice that canning the water. But, it dropped as designed.
The lid of the new 16 digital goes on exactly the same as the stove top. The arrows are clearly marked and that works nicely.
I did notice that when using the Waterbath setting, it is necessary to remove the pressure relief valve. That can be a step that could be accidently overlooked or the valve might be lost in the shuffle of a canning project.
That said, overall, I give this a "5" star rating because, it is much nicer canning using a digital canner because the canner automatically cycles and reduces the potential for hundreds error. And, because the 16 quart is smaller in size than its other digital counterpart, but holds more jars, it is, in my opinion a better value. It is the best of both products, I am looking forward to many years of canning with it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy Peasy!

I've been a lifelong user of Presto stovetop canners and when I stumbled upon the 12 quart PPDC, I knew I had to get one! I love the ease of use! When the 17 quart PPDC came out, I knew I had to have it! Canning larger capacities is wonderful!
And then...the new 23 quart hybrid came out...yes, I "needed" it!
I love how light it is for its size (lighter than the original PPDCs).
I love that the lid and canner body are designed as traditional stovetop canners (no more worrying that I'm going to break the green latch).
To me, the biggest improvement with this design is the fact the sealing ring stays put when in use! No fiddling with it to assure it's seated properly, throughout the process!
The canning rack is solid and doesn't have rubber "feet" to worry about losing.
I was concerned this canner would heat up the kitchen, but it doesn't! Beware: the outside does get hot.
The jar warming stage does seem to take a bit longer, but it's no big deal, as it gives me plenty of time to prep!
The canner also runs as quietly as the original PPDCs!
Cooldown period is significantly shorter than the originals, as well, allowing for me to run multiple loads if I need to.
The only CON for me is: there is no "fill line" that I can see or feel. Having to measure 3 quarts is easy enough to get used to...I was spoiled by the fill lines in the originals.

23 quart Presto Precise digital canner
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: Babs

Presto Precise digital canner 23 quart review. This is actually my 5th Presto product. I have a Presto Nomad travel slow cooker (love it) and also have a stovetop Presto canner, a 12 qt Presto Precise, a 17 qt Presto Precise and now the 23 qt. Presto Precise digital canner. Love all my Presto products!
So, this is for the 23 qt. 1st, yesterday my neighbor and I canned 32 half pints of seedless blackberry jam. With this canner the hardest part was stirring that jam (NCHFP no pectin recipe) for an hour for each batch lol.
This canner requires 1100 watts of power, so less than the other digital canners which need about 1500. Which is good because less power usage is always a benefit.
I never had an issue with the removable power cords, however I like the power cord being attached.
This canner does not have the "water level line" bump inside like the others with removable pots and I do miss that. Reason being because it was easier to just fill back up to the line when doing multiple batches a day. However it is not a deal breaker.
Also, you can now do 5 minutes on the timer so if you have that recipe that only needs to process for 5 minutes now you can!
In addition, the rack no longer has the little rubber feet that others lost in the past. It is totally metal with metal bumps as "feet". So another improvement that Presto listened to customers about!
The seal and other parts are very easy to remove to clean and to put back in. When water bathing I just put the blow out plug and the regulator in a baggie or bowl to keep them from getting lost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

23-quart Digital Canner
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: anonymous

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 23-quart Presto Digital Pressure Canner is a stand-alone appliance which allows you to use your stovetop for other tasks. If you have a glass stovetop, this appliance is a great alternative.
These Presto Digital canners can be used for pressure canning and water bath canning. The instructions are easy to follow. Always thoroughly read the instruction booklet and the one-page user guide. There are some details in the booklet that are not noted in the one-page user guide.
When first using it, always do a practice run with water-filled jars to learn how the appliance works. Do not attempt to skip any steps in using these appliances. There are alerts that sound as the appliance moves through the canning process. This is beneficial, and there are some steps that require your attention.
Other features that are beneficial include a power cord permanently attached to the canner, a regulator weight that is easy to put on and remove for pressure canning, and when pressure canning the appliance automatically adjusts for your elevation. Note: for water bath canning, time must be added to adjust for elevation when setting the processing time.
Overall, this canner is a winner!
