16-Quart Pressure Canner

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish. The easy-to-read gauge automatically registers a complete range of processing pressures. Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. Presto Pressure Canners also double as water bath canners for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsas. Canners are constructed of extra-strong, warp-resistant aluminum and are suitable for use on regular and smooth-top ranges. Includes cooking/canning rack and complete instruction and recipe book. Mason Jar Capacity: 12 Half-Pints, 10 Pints, 7 Quarts. Pints and half pints only for water bath method. 16-Quart liquid capacity (15.1 liters).- SKU: ZX9NPI008
