Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks (particularly grandmas) have known for a long time--they're really fast. And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor.

Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! This professional-quality stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools.

The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like 5-minute custards! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.

Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 6-quart pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 8-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty.

User questions & answers

Question:	is is made in usa
Answer:	No, but hot air/smoke does come out from the back. So I place it under a hood to vent and you want to keep the back away from things that don't like heat. It is basically an oven so the heat and the smoke from the food have to come up some how. However because it is generally much tightly enclosed, the heat is better trapped inside for cooking, which is one of the reasons why this things is more efficient than an oven.
Question:	Could canning be done in this if so how many jars and what size
Answer:	Hubby said “If they fit, yes”. He does 2 chicken breasts and they come out perfect.
Question:	Can someone please confirm that this pressure cooker is induction stove compatible by seeing if a magnet will stick to the bottom? Thanks

Answer:	There was a time when canning using pressure cookers was deemed a safe method of preserving. However, since 2006 Presto has not provided information for canning in pressure cookers. The information used to support canning in pressure cookers was based on research done in the late 1970's. The current recommendation from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates that to pressure can you will need to use a vessel that is specially a pressure canner, which holds at minimum four quart-size jars.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do they mean by "...and turn the heat down"? how far? i know all stoves vary (me personally i have a glass top) but how far do i go with this
Answer:	Once it reaches "full" pressure (constant steam) on WHATEVER STOVE YOU ARE USING you turn the heat down (meaning to get more of what I call a "slight or soft steam") for the recommended "cooking time." It depends on the time recommended for what you are cooking... so that: A) You do not over-cook what is in the pressure cooker...meaning turn it to mush... and B) That's the way pressure cookers work! (The science of which is a steady pressure within the pot for the designated cooking "time" recommended.) It's some trial and error if you're new to pressure cooking. But you eventually get the hang (or sense) of it/how they work!
Question:	does it come with a basket to keep food separated
Answer:	It has a steam basket, yes.
Question:	How does this hold up over time? Thanks! Where is it made, country of origin?? Thanks
Answer:	The pressure cooker is well made from stainless steel. We've only had this one for about a year but it is used weekly. It should last a very long time. It is made in China.
Question:	How many canning jars can I fit in this
Answer:	I haven't used it for canning and I bought it and gave it as a gift. Please note that the 8 quart Clipso is the same diameter as the 6 quartClipso and the 8 quart is higher. I bought both sizes and gave the 8 quart as a gift. As for canning, I guess it would depend on the size and shape of your jars and if there needs to be some space between them if you do multiples. You would need to put something at the bottom of the cooker so that the jars don't sit directly on the bottom which can get very very hot and you would risk breaking glass jars. I found an aluminium disk made by Presto that cost around 35$ so you have to add that to your overall costs. If you plan to do a lot of canning, why don't you get a pot made just for canning which would include all the instructions. They are large enough and are often sold as kits with a few jars.

The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. The Presto 16-quart pressure canner is more than adequate for any home canning needs. It's a professional-quality tool, made of heavy-duty aluminum, with stay-cool handles and a strong-lock steel lid. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, so that liquid can circulate underneath. And it can do double duty as a large pressure cooker. It's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor.

The sturdy lid locks down during canning or cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam-release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. The pressure dial gauge gives an accurate reading so that pressure can be kept constant during canning. This pressure canner is also a cooker that's useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly.

The lid of the Presto 16-quart pressure canner is not immersible. In addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The dial gauge is delicate; detailed care instructions are found in the accompanying booklet. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures approximately 14-4/5 by 14-4/5 by 12 inches and carries a 12-year limited warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the regulator is set at 15 pound? Why do some people buy the extra weight
Answer:	All stainless with a thick stainless sandwich on the bottom to conduct heat more evenly than a thin bottom.
Question:	Does this canner come with a rack in the box
Answer:	They now have one available at 8 quarts.
Question:	does it come with the weighted guage
Answer:	No, it's not that good. See my review. Back in 2014 it may have been, but in 2018 it is not.
Question:	I read one review that says the 16 quart cooker does not work with quart jars. We use quart jars only so I would like confirmation? Thanks
Answer:	I love mine, the T-fal P2510737 unit. This unit is really only for pressure cooking, NOT pressure canning. The new types are so much easier than the old ones that could overpressurize. One thing that is really important, let the unit vent steam for several minutes before closing it to make sure you get a good seal. The instructions were not a clear on that but i knew to do it from pressure canning.
