Presto 01755 16-Quart Aluminum canner Pressure Cooker, One Size, Silver

The Presto 16-Quart pressure Canner is designed for easy, confident home pressure canning. The only safe method recommended by the U. S. Department of Agriculture for canning vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. Doubles as a boiling water Canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars. Works on gas, electric, and smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers precise processing pressures, which is especially important in high altitude areas. Special air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced.
