Q: Induction compatible?

6 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Neighbor! No, this product is not induction compatible because it's made of aluminum. Presto does make specific induction-compatible models, often stainless steel with a clad base, that work on induction ranges. You need to look for models specifically labeled as "Induction Compatible" or with a stainless steel base for use on induction cooktops.

Get a better weight if you want to dial in presure

a month ago
Very difficult to maintain an appropriate pressure for canning. It comes with a 15lb weight only and you control pressure through adjusting the heat. Dialing in a temp is very difficult this way. So forget about precision unless your running 15lbs. Not very versatile in that regard.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great Canner

5 months ago
Actually, purchased this "used" from someone local. I'm very new to canning but this was easy.

Great product! Great price!

Very satisfied with the presser canner. Easy to read directions, it worked very well on my glass top stove and was very easy to operate. It was delivered the next day! Highly recommend.
