Presto 23-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner Review
The item arrived as pictured. I have not had a chance to use it yet. These are the drawbacks: 1. Item was not well packed but arrived with no scratches or dents, 2. Item has a film of oil or grease on it..for protection, I assume…but no instructions as to how to remove this film, and 3. and most important there is a warning label inside the pot warning against using the cooker on a propane fueled “turkey cooker”. This was NOT mentioned in the description of the item. My main purpose of having this item was to use it outdoors on such a heating unit. I have not received an answer yet saying why I can’t heat the item in this way. 4. Item is made in China and I wish it weren’t…I don’t trust that it will last.

My canner arrived promptly and I’m putting it to good use. Since this is a seasonal item, Amazon was a great place to find a good price for a difficult item to locate outside Harvest season.

Rapid response. Have not tried it yet since I have Jenn Air flat top range I’m going to have to use someone else’s stove or come up with an alternate heat source.

My husband wanted a canner/pressure cooker but didn’t want a small one, so we purchased the Presto 23 Quart Pressure Canner. It was an awesome price and arrived relatively quickly. We have canned tuna, fruits and veggies and have made a couple of chickens in it. It only took 10 mins to cook a whole chicken! We couldn’t be happier with our new pressure canner! We were able to can 24 half pints of tuna at the same time eliminating the need to fire it up multiple times. I would definately buy this product again.
