After many months of research, and watching my daughter use the same device I was convinced that I should invest. I do love the product with the exception that my fresh Garden produce is truly over processed. It's unfortunate because that is the primary reason I purchased it. I'm sure that it's due to the amount of time it takes to cool down. I wish there were a way that we could see the actual temperature throughout the processing and cool down cycle without having to purchase another digital device for couple hundred dollars. If I had kept the Box inside the house and it had not been damaged by rain last night, I probably would return it and purchase a good old-fashioned non-digital product. Bottom line, I'm slightly disappointed even though the ease of operation is incredible.
I purchased this canner to make it easier to can beans and meats without having to continuously babysit a pressure canner. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Got us stocked up on essentials and some with no salt added for my parents. I love being able to control what goes into my foods! Taste is SO much better!
I have done approximately 12 batches of boiling water bath pickles, jams and chutneys so far. I absolutely love it and feel confident that what I am doing is canning safe. I can hear the water boiling as it processes for the water bath. For me, this has become a game changer! On to salsas next!
I purchased my Presto Digital Canner about a year ago. I had read several reviews from other websites before purchasing and determined their testing that this was a safe canner. Not only can I count on food safety with it, but it is so easy to use. The directions that come with it are very easy to understand. I love using it to can food. The only drawback is the cool down time. If I have several batches to do, I have to wait for it to cool down.
I bought the larger Presto canner last fall and it has been such a blessing because I had no idea how to can. This canner makes it so easy for me at my age. It's been a great experience and I know what is in my food now and feel so good that I made it. It does take some prepping but it is all worth it. Put on some music and enjoy canning with this Presto. Customer service is excellent too. Any ?'s you have they are very helpful and that's what makes a 5 star business.
The thought of using a regular pressure scared me to death so I had never pressure canned until I bought my Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner in 2021. I love the laminated instruction sheet that came with it, which makes it so simple to use.
Three years ago I bought this canner on the advice of a friend. I bought it in JANUARY and spent the rest of a western Pennsylvania winter reading and re-reading instructions. I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing. My MIL had used an older stove top pressure canner and it terrified me---I was sure it would explode any minute and I vowed I would NEVER have a pressure canner. And look at me now. I LOVE my pressure canner!
I wanted to start canning but was afraid of a traditional pressure canner and didn’t really know where to start. I saw a video of someone using this and set out to learn more about it. It’s so easy to use and understand. Customer service offers a lot of support.
