I bought this in December 2023. So far so good. I use distilled water in the canner so my jars come out pretty. I have not had the peeling issue some have had but am on the lookout if it happens. Presto should take care of the problem if it should arise. I like the all american PC as well.
Always been afraid of pressure canning, now, following all the guidelines, I have canned lots, and feel confident when I use my presto canner, thinking of getting another.
I bought my Presto about 2 years ago. It sits on my counter permanently.it takes all of the stress out of pressure canning. Absolutely love this canner. Very user friendly. It does it all. Very few days go by without it being used. Highly recommend
I bought this about a year and a half ago and am mostly satisfied. A few things I would prefer are a longer cord and a stainless steel pot, since this is the only pot or pan in my kitchen that has nonstick coating. I'm also having some issues with my jars sealing. It seems that I have to tighten the rings more, and sometimes that doesn't even do the trick. I've never had this many failures when I used my Presto stovetop canner. I also wish I could fit more quart jars in it. Five is the limit, and I usually have a few left over that won't fit, so I have to run the canner twice. When I'm doing a 90 minute run, it takes an awfully long time to complete canning all the jars. Other than those few things, it's a lot easier to use, and I don't have to stare at my gauge the whole time I'm using the canner.
It makes canning easy but it has one major drawback. If the power goes out, the canner completely resets and you must start over with new lids. So good that was 75% processed will now be overcooked and mushy. My bread machine has a 15 minute memory. If the power goes out for less than 15 minutes , it remembers where it left off and continues. 15 mi it’s might be too long, but certainly it holds pressure for one or two minutes. A tiny blip in power loss should not cause you start over 100%.
I got my presto electric canner about six months ago and I am so glad I did. Being a first time canner, this canner made it so easy to learn how to safely can foods. I started to use the mini guide step by step sheet nail I got familiar with it and now it’s a breeze. Our family just loves our canned meats, vegetables and salsa.
L’appareil est d’une simplicité à utilisé. Presto m’a soutenue au delà de mes attentes avec un petit problème au départ. Ce qui a renforcé m’a confiance en la compagnie. Je pense a en acquérir un autre pour la saison l’an prochain.
I bought my Presto Digital about a year and a half ago and love it. I love that it's simple to use and I don't have to watch any gauges or jugglers. I also like being able to use the stove for other things. I have started using a stove top steam canner though rather than my digital because it is faster to heat less water and much easier to lift. I haven't had any need for water bath canning for quarts. The one improvement I would love to see is a steam canning rack with instructions and the option to use the same settings for water bath/steam canning. Hopefully quarts could be steam canned without needing the canner to be taller because I'm not tall. Otherwise this canner is awesome!
