Details
This 16-quart pressure canner is specifically designed to make home pressure canning easy and reliable. It follows the recommended safety guidelines of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for canning a variety of foods, including vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. Additionally, it serves as a boiling water canner, perfect for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars. Compatible with gas, electric, and smooth-top ranges, this canner features an adjustable regulator that automatically maintains pressure at 5, 10, or 15 pounds. Its unique air vent/cover lock system ensures that pressure builds only when the cover is closed properly, and it prevents the cover from being opened until the pressure has been safely reduced. The built-in visual indication of pressure provides added safety. This versatile product can also be used as a large capacity pressure cooker for preparing meats, poultry, soups, and desserts. Constructed from durable heavy-gauge aluminum, it offers longevity and even heating. The canner includes a cooking/canning rack and a comprehensive 76-page instruction/recipe book for canning and pressure cooking. It has a regular Mason jar capacity of 13 half-pints, 10 pints, or 7 quarts (boiling water processing limited to half-pints and pints). With an extended 12-year limited warranty, you can trust in the quality and performance of this pressure canner.
