Consumer Evaluations

I purchased this pressure canner immediately after getting a single of the original canners from quite a few years ago. This is so quick to use - lighter, less difficult to close, simple and easy to read gauge. I like the jar support- it is so significantly greater than the old wire basket. Every jar is firmly supported. No a great deal more wobbling. This canner is totally superb!

Directions are included with the item that are simple and easy to follow. The instruction manual also contains directions for canning particular fruits and vegetables, knowledge about canning utensils and proper canning supplies. This size canner will process a 7 quart volume at a time. For a novis canner like myself this item was a best selection.
