Great canner. My mom had one and now I have on too. The stated capacity of it is completely wrong though. It only holds 16 pint jars, not 20. If you can get 20 pints in it, I want to see how.

I was scared that pressure canning would be too difficult, but it’s been awesome! I’ve canned quarts and quarts of French onion soup with vidalia onions. I’m using Ball recipes and everything has turned out perfectly. The dial gauge is easy to read and understand.
If you are looking for a heavy-duty canner that won't break the bank, the Presto 23-Quart is a workhorse. It features a reliable dial gauge and includes the necessary jar rack, making it easy for beginners to start pressure canning meats and vegetables safely. However, buyers should be aware of the manufacturing origin. While Presto is a historic U.S. brand founded in 1905, their current canning pots are made in China. The design and quality testing are still handled in the U.S., and the build quality remains sturdy, but if 'Made in the USA' is your top priority, you may want to look at All American models instead.
Sadly to say I bought this scanner five years ago and never used it because I was afraid of it when I was in high school a canner exploded and they had 11 foot ceilings and the lid was stuck in the ceiling. There was glass and tomato everywhere. luckily we had gone to lunch and when we came back, that’s how the room was Unbelievable well, my friend who has a canner and has been doing this for many many years said I will help you with this. I got the canner down off the shelf on my husband did for me. I put it on the counter and I read the instructions and I thought boy what a stupid person I was This was probably the easiest thing to use in the world so my first attempt was beef stew it came out great tomorrow I’m going to do meatloaf and then I’m going to do beef, vegetable soup, chicken and spinach casserole type dish and a few others. I have venison. I’ve got rabbit you know but anyway so I’m very very happy with my canner. Yes I’m extremely happy with it. I love it. I can’t say enough about it enough of my rambling.
I have had my canner a couple years now and have really started using it the last couple months. It’s been such a joy to make all my summer sauces and soups and actually free up freezer space. It has not only been a canner, but a large batch soup pot as well. Wish I had a second one, but I don’t have the space
Other than the gasket this canner will last a lifetime. Works 100 percent perfect. You cannot go wrong with this pressure canner. You can spend more for a canner but it is not necessary.
was given one j used it today for first time i love it
I have had a Presto for years and just purchased another one to cut canning time. These canners are perfect.
Saved up for quite sometime to get this canner imported into Ireland, delighted to receive it today, looking forward to using it this harvest season. A weighted regulator as an option rather than additional purchase would be nice.
Haven't used it yet but I'm sure I'll love it when I get back into canning. Really like that I will be able to stack jars and get more done at one time.
