Presto 23Qt Canning Kit

**Presto 23Quart Pressure Canner- When you process the summer's harvest you will want to do it easily with your family's safety and nutritional needs in mind. Canning allows the preservation of vitamins and minerals. Pressure canning does the same thing with one important difference; since the steam produced by the water is hotter than the water itself, you are assured that bacteria are eliminated. And, with this 23 quart Presto Pressure canner you can preserve even more of Summer's pleasures.

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A. for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish. So preserve your garden's bounty the safe way with a pressure canner!

The easy-to-read gauge automatically registers a complete range of processing temperatures. Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build up only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced.
