Replaces Presto 07151 18 QT Pressure Canner
Customer Rating: Summary: STURDY RELIABLE PRESSURE CANNER Comment: This is the second Presto pressure canner we have purchased. A smaller one was purchased in 2004 and has received much service for home canning. We bought the 23 quart size since it can be used as a pressure canner and is tall enough to also serve as a water bath canner for quart jars. With the 23 quart size you can stack pint jars on top one another for two layers which is a great time saver when you have a lot of food to can. We have not used the canner for cooking large amounts of food, but there is a recipe book enclosed instructing how to use the unit as a cooker. Canning instructions are clear and many foods are covered. This canning season we used both canners at once with excellent results. Customer Rating: Summary: Kinda cheap Comment: Was in a hurry when I ordered this. Should have reviewed it a little closer. It is an OK canner. Much flimsier than a quality one, but it works. Made in China.
There is a better alternative, although it costs more. Search for All-American cooker/canner. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product Comment: this cooker is great. Works perfect for what i use it for. Highly recommended. User friendly Customer Rating: Summary: Reliable Canner Comment: This canner is taller than expected and works well with quart jars. After several uses, I am satisfied with its performance. As always, the price was a deal. Customer Rating: Summary: Bad Service Comment: They never send me the pressure Cooker. They took the order then waited and then I get notified that product is not going to be shiped. Sure I got refunded but I lost my canning season.

The optimum location for the cook top is along an exterior wall, rather than on an island or peninsula. With a stove on an outside wall, it's easy to install an effective hood and ventilation system, essential to expel grease, smoke and combustion gases. The stove or cook top needs a 21- to 30-inch overhead clearance so cooks can readily see and access rear burners and the ventilation system can do its work efficiently.
