Presto 01755 16-Quart Aluminum Pressure Canner, Silver C401736

Designed for easy, confident home pressure canning. The only safe method recommended by the USDA for canning vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. Doubles as a boiling water canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars. Works on gas, electric, and Smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers precise processing pressures, which is especially important in high altitude areas. Air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced. Handy as a large capacity pressure cooker for meats, poultry, soups, and desserts.
