Editorial Review

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. Read more

Fabulous For Flat Glass Burners
This canner works with flat burners.The bottom of the canner has a flat raised inner section that fits over the largest burner of my flat glass cooktop perfectly.Then the overhanging sides of the canner are raised about 1/2 inch, so it won't ruin your glass cooktop.It's a wonderful canner with various safety features built in.READ THE MANUAL and you will feel very confident using it.It does a wonderful job.I didn't have any problems keeping the pressure to the correct level.

Great for canning tomatoes
Seems to work great.I canned about 20 quarts of tomatoes last week.The only problem I had was keeping the pressure at 6.

Review of Presto 23-qt Pressure Cooker/Canner
I love this canner. My mother used to can everything from food to rocks and grass it seemed at the time. As a kid,I shelled more peas, snapped more beans and scraped more new potatoes than I ever thought necessary! Now I appreciate what she did and I'm trying to follow suit. This item was a total success. It was very easy to use and worked as advertised. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to bring the country back to their kitchen. Canned goods at the store might be easier but nothing tastes better on a cold winter day than the vegetables you put up yourself out of your own garden in the summer. The bonus to this was buying it online from Amazon, I got it cheaper than I could locally and it came quickly. ... Read more

Complete and utter disappointment.
I was overcharged a considerable amount of shipping costs due to misrepresentation of the product weight (according to the shipping company AND other websites it weighs 10.3 lbs yet I was charged shipping costs for 22.5 lbs!) Both this site and the supplier's site continue to list the weight as 22.5 lbs. Since both companies are aware of the "discrepancy" it is intentional misrepresentation and I believe many customers are due a considerable refund. As if that weren't enough, I didn't notice at the time I opened the box that the pot had substantial damage to the rim yet the lid didn't, so it appears it was packaged after the damage occurred. I had to hammer-out the dented rim and re-paint all of the resulting chipped-off coating. (After all the aggravation I just couldn't bring myself to send it back and have to communicate with the supplier again)! This must be the worst online purchase I have ever experienced! If the weight represented is not corrected on both websites I will report it the Better Business Bureau.

Excellent Buy...especially from Uncle Joe's!
My husband's family cans every year...but we have never done it.So this year I am heading down to a "pick-your-own" farm with my husband and 5 daughters in search of some good old fashioned family fun!This kit was exactly what I needed...not only comes with everything (except a few extra jars and the fruit) but also gives me a variety of recipes to try!We used the coupons right away at Walmart to get the other few items we needed.
Good Quality Water Bath Canning Kit
Water bath is our first stage in learning to can. With that, we can preserve tomatoes and sauces, fruit, jellies, and pickles. Many of the skills will be used again when we add pressure canning later. This was a complete kit, and the included book covers not only water bath but pressure canning and dehydration. After adding a dozen quart and a dozen pint, with the included jars we are ready for our first year project with the children. All items appear to be of good quality, and it was quick to arrive. ...

Editorial Review

If you're pickling and jam-making come late summer, Progressive's canning set offers five tools that will greatly simplify the process. Progressive's jar lifter has wide, contoured, vinyl-coated tongs, allowing you to get a tight grip around jars and lift them out of hot water without breaking them or burning yourself, and the plastic-coated handles keep hands cool. The magnetic lid lifter, a long plastic wand with a magnet on one end, safely extracts lids from boiling water. An extra set of vinyl-coated tongs is great for removing blanched fruits, such as tomatoes or peaches, from boiling water. The kit's plastic funnel has a small enough spout for any canning jar--and an extra-wide mouth to prevent splatter when you're pouring hot jam. The final accessory is a nonslip, vinyl-coated jar wrench. None of the items are dishwasher-safe; clean them by hand with soap and water. Read more

Features

• Five-piece set: funnel, jar lifter, lid lifter, jar wrench, and tongs
• Vinyl coating improves grip and prevents heat transfer
• Extra-wide funnel mouth
• Ideal for home canning

Canning Kit
Just what I expected when I ordered it.High quality that will remain durable for many years of canning.

5-Piece Canning Kit - NIce
The quality is good, if not the best. The jar lifter, for example, is a little less hefty than what I had before and I didn't really need another set of Tongs. However, they get the job done and the price was far less than buying each item individually. I really like the jar opener.

You get what you pay for
Overall, I found this to be a nice set that is very useful in canning.However, the magnet in the lid lifter is a cheap piece of crud.It barely picks up the lids, and it can't pick up the rings.

Printing of Ball Blue Book
I am very dissapointed in the new Ball Blue Book.I have many of the older version so I had to buy this newer one as well.The titles of the recipes are so faint I have to use a magnifying glass in order to see them.I go back to the older version to use simply because I can't see the titles from the new Ball Blue Book.I am very sorry to see this wonderful book treated this way.I still use the Ball Blue Books for my canning and preserving but just not this newer version. ...

I don't use them for canning...
...I use them with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer!These jars are perfect for anything from grated cheese, flour, sugar, nuts, oats, cereal, chips - anything you can think of that is bulky.
