Review: I love this thing SO MUCH!!! I’ve been wanting to get into canning for a really long time but I was honestly intimidated by it. I really love to cook but due to health reasons I’ve made some big changes in my diet. So buying at the grocery store has become more expensive than usual plus I spend so much time reading labels. Canning has given me much greater control of my food (no chemicals) plus I love that I can reduce sugar. This canner has allowed me to explore both styles of canning with ease! I’ve had it for a month and I’ve been able preserve anything from low sugar jams to spaghetti sauce – it is so fun!! It has worked perfectly every time with no issues. The one thing I will say is it only cans 4 quarts at a time but since it’s just me that’s not a big issue. I looked at cheaper ones here on Amazon but decided to go with this one because it was slightly larger. I’m so glad I did. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time!!!UPDATE::: I bought this at the end of June and have used it steadily since with no issues. Today when I was washing the inside liner (mid August), the inside coating peeled off! I notice it lifting at the bottom and when I checked it to see if it was just happening a little bit, it came off in sheets!! This is super frustrating because I have peaches ready to can. Unfortunately today is Sunday so I’m stuck until tomorrow on getting any help from Presto but I submitted a message with a picture. I have seen this canner compared to the Nesco, so I literally ran to order that one as it will arrive tomorrow. For $300 I would have expected the presto to hold up longer than 2 months. At this point my original opinion has changed. I’ll update my review as the situation develops. :(Update 2: I emailed Presto on Sunday because they were closed until Monday morning. I called Monday morning and got some rude lady who said if I emailed them then I would have to wait until they responded. She said “we don’t want 2 people working on the same issue “ but she didn’t even want to bother to check to see if they got my email. On Tuesday afternoon I called again. Luckily I got a very nice guy Nick who immediately checked to see if he could find my email but he couldn’t. I emailed him with the picture while we were on the phone and he was clearly flustered at the picture and put me on hold to show Quality Control. They immediately started the process to send me a new liner pan. They also said they may send me a fedex label to send the messed up liner pan back. They told me this is highly unusual and wanted a bunch of model numbers off the unit. I hope to get the replacement liner by the weekend.In the meantime I bought a Nesco. I wanted to see if I made a frivolous choice in buying the presto over the Nesco. I’m in the process of pressure canning split pea soup right now. Here’s my thoughts initially- presto is definitely better. It’s easy to use and warms the jars before canning which I really like because it automates this step. Plus the Presto is much bigger. I prefer wide mouth jars and can get more pints in the presto (7) vs the Nesco (5 and they are really crowded in there). I have decided to keep the Nesco (what can I say – I’m on a canning roll) so that I can do multiple batches at the same time. I have a glass top stove and am afraid to pressure can on it. Plus I live in Fl so while they do heat up the kitchen the electric canners are not nearly as bad as it could be if done on the stovetop.We’ll see how the new Presto liner pan holds up. They said the issue was not seen before and my research confirmed this because I couldn’t find any evidence that it was a problem before. IMHO if you can afford the Presto it’s worth it. The Nesco also acts as slow cooker and a pressure cooker which really doesn’t impress me. But I’ll definitely it check out even though I’m not a big slow cooker person and I gave away my instapot wannabe pressure cooker because I felt all it did was boil the meat.Final edit::: I have used both canners multiple times and have decided that I love the Presto the most. It is practically idiot proof because it beeps when it reaches the next step. That’s good for a newbie canner because I don’t have to guess if it’s time for the regulator or to start the timer like I do with the Nesco. Plus the Presto lid is much easier to clean and reassemble. The new liner pan for the Presto is a different color with a different coating. So maybe the one I got originally was phased out. The company was very responsive about resolving my issue after I got the right person on the phone. All in all I’m still glad that I bought the Presto in spite of the issue.One last final edit: it is now two years later (May 2025) and I still love the Presto the most. I have had no additional problems with the liner pan at all and the canner still works perfectly. I actually sold the Nesco on marketplace because I just didn’t use it anymore.

Review: So easy to use. I love it. I have been sitting on the fence with this for a couple years. Do I purchase this or not. Pressure canner to me, is intimidating, but I had heard that this one, easy to use. Okay. I noticed it had gone down in price and I decided to bite the bullet !! ordered it and used it the next day to water bath can. I was anxious, but, I followed the cheat sheet instructions, and wow !! Super easy, start to finish. Now I will use it to pressure can tomorrow and feel comfortable that it will be a “set it and forget it” till it beeps to let me know its done. This has opened the door to all those recipes that I put aside because I was scared of pressure canning. If you own an instant pot, you will have no problem. Same kind of idea only bigger kitchen appliance. Thank you, thank you.

Review: This was a second purchase …really good and takes the hassle out of constant ‘baby sitting’ traditional pressure canners – HOWEVER this purchase failed to function, was returned and refunded. Perhaps it had a ‘bad’ journey. So now I’m ‘baby sitting, my original presto canner !! 🙂

Review: I purchased this digital pressure canner in November of 2024 and I wanted to wait until I used it several times to write a review. I am a novice prepper, and I do quite a bit of canning and preserving. I am dedicated to preserving the Appalachian traditions of canning, the way my grandmother taught me. This new digital pressure canner is quite far removed from the old pressure cooker canner that we used decades ago. I will tell you this was one of the best purchases that I have made. It is literally a set it and forget it. It is self regulated and amazingly I do not have to move it outside to my outdoors kitchen like I used to with the water bath canner and pressure cooker canner. It is sleek, beautiful, and self regulated. It walks you through the process so if you are a beginner and want to venture into pressure canning so you can prepare for your future. The manual is easy to understand. I highly recommend this product. It sits on your countertop or your outdoor kitchen, even your dining room table if it is sturdy enough. It holds 8 pints, or 6 quarts which is plenty for one person. I am going to order a second canner so that I can keep up with my food prepping needs and my expanded garden. Don’t hesitate- get this canner. It is quiet, beeps to remind you of the next stage, cleans up super easy, and It is well worth the money for your peace of mind and safety. I absolutely recommend it.
