Presto 01780 22-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner

For canning your summer and fall fruits and vegetables, this 22-quart pressure canner and cooker is designed for easy, confident home canning, the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid food preparation. With its deluxe pressure gauge, it prepares food 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary methods. Comes with a special air vent/cover lock that allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly, and also prevents the cover from being opened until the pressure is safely reduced. Ideal for use on regular and smooth-top ranges. Holds 24 half-pint jars, 20 pints or 7 quarts. Extra strong and durable, it is warp resistant and heavy-gauge for fast, even heating and a long life. Included is a cooking rack and a complete instruction and recipe booklet for canning meats and seafood, too. Canner fits 24- 1/2 pint jars, up to 20- 1 pint jars, 7- 1 qt jars.
