Low Acid "Pressure" Home Preserving, or Canning

Presto 23 qt Pressure Canner - For Low Acid Foods

This is the specialised equipment needed for "pressure canning", as you can see it's an oversized pressure cooker, big enough to hold about 7 big jars.

Low acid foods require processing at a temperature of 116 degrees centigrade for safe preserving to avoid the potentially fatal poisoning by botulism.

You do need a bit of specialised equipment to achieve these temperatures, but the process is simple. You can even re-use the jars. All you need is a recipe, and for safety's sake, new lids and a "pressure canner".

We recommend that even if you are just curious about "pressure preserving" that you download the Presto Manual. This publication is a lot more than just an ordinary manual, it contains preserving safety information, and many recipes.

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A., and many other organisations, for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish.
Further information can be found in good preserving books, like those sold on our site. You can also find lots of online resources, including the "USDA Complete Guide to Home Preserving" ... HERE.

PrestoŽ 23-Quart Pressure Canner

The easy-to-read gauge automatically registers a complete range of processing temperatures.
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.

PrestoŽ 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.

This Presto Pressure Canner is 280mm high, internally, and 310mm wide internally.

23-Quart liquid capacity (21.8 litres)

3 Piece Pressure Regulator

Part No. 50332

The 3 piece pressure regulator will give you regulated pressure at 5, 10, and 15 pounds.
This is NOT suitable for most pressure processing of low acid foods, as most directions call for 11 pounds, or 12 pounds at higher altitudes
However this is ideal to check that your gauge is still accurate ... the pressure regulator will rock, and release steam as the pressure reaches either 5, 10, or 15 pounds.

Sealing Ring & Over Pressure Plug

Part No 09905

Cared for properly, washed after every use, and oiled with a little olive oil, and your rubber seal will last many years.
If your seal does become stiff and hard, or the over pressure plug becomes brittle or in the case of a "over pressure" incident, blows out, it is time to replace both seal and plug.
This is a genuine "Presto" part.
