Amazing! Never having canned prior and scared of the traditional canner, I took the chance…and bought this one. It simplified the process for a newbie like me….and I should have done this months ago. You will not regret buying this!
I bought this about 6 months ago and have used it both for water bath and pressure canning. It’s so nice to have this on the counter and not crowd the stove. I underestimated how much I’d appreciate the jar pre-heating function, it’s made the process so much smoother without having to consider timing the dishwasher cycle. I’ve loaned it to a few friends who also bought their own after trying it. The only disappointment is that it can’t water bath quart jars. Highly recommend if you can at least a few times per year.
After reading all the information on this canner I started saving up to buy one, my kids gave me one for my 80th birthday, and I absolutely love it! I have only had two issues was while pressure canning, 1st was canning with wide mouth quarts, for some reason the vent lock wasn't coming up and I had to check the seals and start over. the 2nd was no where have I seen that you need to raise the rack above water level when pressure canning 1/2 pints, I learned that from the Facebook group for Presto Digital Canner. I would buy another tomorrow if a larger one was available that would water bath quarts.
First time canner. I needed something easy to use, as no experience and no one who taught me in the past. It's just 2 of us in the home but with adult children nearby. Ease of use, good size, cleaning is a breeze and great customer support makes this a great appliance to have. I look forward to using both functions and supply our families with wholesome and healthy food.
bought this canner 2 years ago, best purchase ever. It so easy to operate and makes canning just as easy. I've canned with the old school canners with the pressure gauge and adjustment knobs, this electric one is so not intimidating at all. Quality is great and love that's American made!!!! I would recommend this one. I like being able to do up to 5 quartz size jars at one time as well.
