6 best presto pressure cooker instructions

Product description

Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for low-acid foods. Doubles as a boiling water canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles and salsa in pint and half pint jars. Also handy as a large capacity pressure cooker. Constructed of warp-resistant, heavy-gauge aluminum for fast, even heating. Works on regular and smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures. This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes. 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. 23-Quart liquid capacity (21.8 liters).

The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. The Presto 23-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. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding or Brown Bread! 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 aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The lid of the Presto 23-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 14 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 15-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year 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:	how pressure is regulated
Answer:	I am not 100% sure, but I think they are made in Wisconsin, USA. Hope this helps. Suz
Question:	Can this canner be safely used on a glass-surface range? If so, what is the smallest burner on which it can be safely used
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. Note that pressure canners are generally 12-quart size or larger.

Question:	How many qt jars can be canned in this pressusre canner
Answer:	Respectfully, any time I've ever had problems over the decades with beans not cooking evenly it was invariably due to a batch of mixed old AND new beans. This happens more than you might think, and unfortunately a recent purchase of mine of small red beans in 25 lb. bulk are proving to be exactly that. Soaking an extra couple of hours seems to help a little (10 hours instead of 8) and then bringing to full heat and pressure a little more slowly, then pressure cooking one extra minute than you normally would. All those things together will help when old and new beans have been mixed together.

Yield: 6 servings

A deconstructed version of chicken cordon bleu—chicken, ham, and cheese in an easy-to-make, easy-to-serve casserole—with a crispy coating on top.

Select Browning/Saute and add 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter to the pressure cooking pot to melt. Add the chicken. Saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken broth, dry mustard, salt, and cayenne.

Put a steamer basket in the cooking pot on the chicken. Add the potatoes to the basket. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 4 minutes cook time. While the chicken cooks, preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, mix the panko and Parmesan with the melted butter. Set aside.When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Use a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove the steamer basket and potatoes from the pot.

Add the sour cream and Swiss cheese to cooking pot and stir until the cheese melts. Stir in the potatoes and ham. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Top with the panko mixture. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until golden-brown—watch closely so it doesn’t burn.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this fit the 708b model
Answer:	Presto cooker 01365, 6 quart stainless steel, is the title on the manual for the appliance I had. It has since been gifted, so I can't say it is the same model.
Question:	will it fit this model
Answer:	This happens sometimes if the sealing ring is: 1) Not properly in place in the lid 2) Old and hard Or if the lid needs to be repositioned I try to lubricate the seal with a smear of cooking oil, to help it turn smoothly as I'm locking the lid in position.
Question:	will this ring fit this model 0128206 presto
Answer:	6 quart
Question:	Will this ring fit stainless steel Presto Model C603A 6 quart
Answer:	This one fit my 23 qt Presto canner. Works perfect! I imagine it will be too big for a 6 qt.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many jars can it fit
Answer:	It should. But they are very sensitive. It had issues staying into the ipod connection socket. I would recommend paying a bit more for better product.
Question:	How often does the gauge need to be worked on? Where does one get the gauge worked on
Answer:	Yes, you can plug TxPro into audio jack output of iPod nano 3rd generation first and pair both TxPro and your bluetooth headphone to listen iPod music wirelessly.
Question:	Does it come with a bottom rack to keep the jars off bottom
Answer:	No it isn't as the range is probably around 10ft maximum, whereas the range for a 4.2 transmitter is in excess of 100ft.
Question:	can it be used on a glass top stove
Answer:	Yes, TxPro works with iPod Nano 6th generation. You just need to plug the TxPro into 3.5mm aux audio output on iPod Nano 6th generation. Then, pair/connect the TxPro with your bluetotoh receiver device such as headphone, speaker..etc. The music will be streamed out wirelessly after both devices pair and connected

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the part number for the 5, 10, 15 lb weight for the this Presto 23 qt canner
Answer:	Yes I have this same charger for my iPod classic
Question:	DOES THE Presto Pressure Cooker/Canner Air Vent Cover/Lock FIT OLD PRESSURE COOKERS
Answer:	the best way to know is if you have the 30 pin charger (like for a I phone 5 or older the fatter charger) it works, if the charger is the thin one like a I phone 6 or later it won't work. Mine works great with my ipod 160GB 5th Gen, But it will use up your batteries a lot faster i use to charge once every two weeks now I charge 2 time a week.
Question:	Does this part come with the rubber gasket
Answer:	Don't fully understand the question - it does work with an iPod Classic
Question:	Does this fit the presto 23qt pressure canner
Answer:	Basically, you cannot charge AND transmit to Bluetooth at the same time. Charge, then transmit, charge, then transmit. I have a flash charger that can charge my iPod up while I'm at lunch or whatever.
