Presto 01755 Aluminum Pressure Cooker, 16-Quart, Silver

Designed for easy and confident home pressure canning, this product is the only safe method recommended by the USDA for preserving vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. It doubles as a boiling water canner, allowing you to process fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars.

Suitable for use on gas, electric, and smooth-top ranges, the deluxe pressure dial gauge precisely registers processing pressures, which is particularly important in high-altitude areas. The air vent and cover lock ensure that pressure can only build when the cover is properly closed, and prevent the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced.

Versatile and durable, this pressure canner can also be used as a large-capacity pressure cooker for meats, poultry, soups, and desserts. Constructed with heavy-gauge aluminum, it offers long-lasting performance and fast, even heating. The included cooking/canning rack adds to its functionality.

For your convenience, the package includes an 80-page instruction and recipe book, guiding you through the processes of canning and pressure cooking. The regular mason jar capacity ranges from 12 half-pints to 10 pints or 7 quarts (only half-pints and pints are suitable for boiling water processing).

Measuring 13-1/4 by 14-1/2 by 11-3/4 inches, this pressure canner comes with a 12-year limited warranty, ensuring your investment is well-protected. With its easy-to-read dial gauge and secure air vent/cover lock system, this product offers a safe and reliable solution for all your home pressure canning needs.
