I was absolutely amazed at how HUGE this canner was. I bought it to can soups, stews, veggies, and any other sort of things that a waterbath canning wouldn't work for.
<br />
<br />The first thing I set about canning (and yes, this was the very first time I was using my pressure cooker/canner) was 3 quarts of green beans and a quart of carrots. These required the same pressure .... and the same processing time, according to the recipe I was using.
<br />
<br />I followed the recipe to a 'T' .... followed all instructions ....
<br />
<br />And the pressure cooker LITERALLY exploded. And only seconds after I had my face near it to check how the pressure was doing. Thankfully, no one (my husband was nearby too) was hurt!
<br />
<br />
<br />Please, please, PLEASE be careful .... I'm NOT the first this has happened to. No matter WHAT the USDA says, using pressure cookers CAN be dangerous ..... EVEN when you're following the instructions perfectly, as I was. | 2 | 775 days ago | Excellent pressure canner at a great price!
I decided to purchase this pressure canner after an exhaustive search online. This was the best price of any of the other sites I checked. I'll admit that the review from the woman whose canner "LITERALLY exploded" had me a little concerned, but since it was the only negative review, I decided to chance it since the price was so good ($79.97 and Free Super Saver shipping)! Best of all, it arrived in TWO DAYS!!!
<br />
<br />The first thing I did was take the pressure gauge to my local county extension office (as recommended by the manufacturer) where they tested it and found it to be working perfectly. After getting their "OK", I hit the produce sales at my local market.
<br />
<br />Even if you don't have a garden, you can still can fresh fruits and vegetables. I've already made 8 jars of strawberry jam using the hot water method, and canned enough tomato sauce to get me through until my own tomatoes are ripe and ready for the canner later this Summer. Unlike commercially canned or frozen produce, I can control what ingredients go into my food!
<br />
<br />The instruction book that comes with this pressure canner gives different ways to can most foods depending on if you want to can them (1)"cooked" so you can warm them up when you're ready to use them or (2)just safely preserved to be cooked right before serving or using in recipes.
<br />
<br />Overall, an excellent pressure canner at a great price! Just follow the manufacturer's instructions - including having the pressure gauge checked by your county extension office - and you should have no problems preserving fresh, healthy foods for yourself, your family, and your loved ones. | 5 | 775 days ago | Excellent product, and I received it free!

This is well worth the purchase. Not only reasonably priced, but does the job very well! | 4 | 775 days ago | Works as Advertised
I bought this to can homemade tomato sauce resulting from having a huge crop of tomatoes. I was able to fit 10 pint mason jars in at a time. The canner is heavy duty, and all of the parts (presure gauge, presure weight, etc) worked perfectly.
<br />The first time I used it, the rubber seal really put off quite a "rubbery" smell - the second time it was less and so on.
<br />It was priced at $79.99, but after shipping ($12.50) and our local Seattle sales tax ($8.15) I was up to $100. Since it is so heavy, shipping will be high. It might be best to buy something this big at a local retailer. Good product though, and I recommend it. | 4 | 775 days ago |
