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. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding and 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 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.

Product features

Unique Curved Body

The unique body with rounded sides allows for easier stirring of food, better visibility and easy removal of food. For difficult dishes which require a lot of stirring, the Contura with its rounded sides is an ideal pressure cooker.

Hard Anodised Body

The beautiful, durable black finish given by 60 microns thick hard anodising has two benefits. It makes the pressure cooker absorb heat faster making it more energy-efficient. And your pressure cooker stays looking new for years.

Food-grade Superior Stainless Steel Lid

A stainless steel lid along with the hard anodised body all over – inside and outside – ensures the highest levels of hygiene and durability!

Locked Safety Lid

The unique Hawkins Pressure-Locked Safety lid ensures that when there is pressure inside the cooker, the lid is pressure-locked like a modern jetliner door. It cannot be opened until the pressure has fallen to a safe level.

Fixed Sturdy Pivot

The fixed sturdy pivot assist the self-centralising lid in locking securely and safely in place, ensuring a steam-tight seal. It is also designed so that no undue pressure is put on the plastic handles, as it is part of the metal handle itself. Thus the handles last longer.

Superior Pressure Regulation

The New Improved pressure regulation system regulates pressure better, cooks faster, saves more fuel, is easier to insert and remove and reduces sprouting of frothy foods (such as dal).

Automatic Safety Valve

The automatic safety valve is positioned such that, if it operates, the steam and food are deflected safely downwards.

Longer Lasting Gasket

As the lid fits from inside, the gasket does not get rubbed sideways every time the pressure cooker is opened or closed. Further, exposure of the gasket to food acids in the pressure cooker is minimised due to the protection given to it by the rim of the lid.

Sturdy, Stay - Cool Handles

Your pressure cooker comes with stay-cool handles which are easy and comfortable to hold while cooking. The handles are designed to provide optimal comfort and protection from excessive heat when the cooker is in use. The metal screw and rivets used to securely fasten the handles are safely recessed to limit the chances of your hand coming into contact with hot metal during cooking.

Answer:	Yes. My tanks are planted fairly heavily with live plants and my substrate is this product only. Suppose it depends on which plants you have though. I have Amazon swords, anubias, some crypts, an unidentified tall and fast growing plant with slender leaves, java moss, java fern, and ludwigia repens. All do well.
Question:	What is ptfe
Answer:	If you have it pretty thinly covering the bottom, yes. But if you want depth then I wouldn't recommend. It discolored easily if not oxidized. When I gravel vac and stir up sand to release any trapped gases, the sand beneath is a horrible grey color for a few days before going back to original color.
Question:	Can you dehydrate in this product
Answer:	It feels looks and feels like sand.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this play a Jingle or the Cuckoo 'rice complete' tune
Answer:	The inner pot is easy to clean. If possible do not use soap for any cleaning. Use the auto clean feature on the unit from time to time, at least monthly. Replace the rubber packing annually. Remove the stainless disc and wash. Always wait for unit to cool before washing. Use q-tips for the top of the unit where the steam comes out. Use the included tool on the bottom of the unit for the top of the unit ONLY specifically where directed. Simply wipe the inner pot clean with a soft sponge. This will ensure the durability of the inner pot. The non stick coating is very good. If you can use silicone that would also prolong the durability of the inner pot.
Question:	Is the inner pot aluminum or stainless
Answer:	Yes, It includes English, Chinese, and Korean voice navigation.
Question:	Can this rice cook have a cakes and bread function
Answer:	I only know it is Platinum infused nonstick coating - mine doesn't seem to be traditional teflon - no idea what is it made from though. sorry.
Question:	What is the scorched rice function
Answer:	20 mins if "quick cook" is selected....white rice only. 1.5 - 2 hours for brown

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this fit model 0125005? The part #09902 seems to be invisible. I cannot find it
Answer:	All Presto™ parts are model specific and only intended to be used for Presto® appliances. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by phone 1-800-877-0441. We are available Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central Time.
Question:	Will this fit presto 409A
Answer:	Model '5' is considered an obsolete canner and should not be pressurized because Presto cannot provide parts to keep this canner up and running safely. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department M-F 8-4:15 CT by phone (1-800-877-0441) or e-mail ([email protected]).
Question:	Simple! Does the seal fit the 8.5" inside diameter pot? A very common size
Answer:	I believe that this gasket will fit your lid. But I haven't seen a canner that processes 14 quarts at a time. The big ones usually do double layers of pints. The lids of a National#7 and a Maid of Honor are interchangeable on a 21 qt and a 16 quart. But the quart size on the canners is USUALLY how much the Pot will HOLD... Not the number of Jar Sizes to be processed. So a 16 quart canner holds 16 quarts of liquid to cook and 7 quart jars of food to be Canned/Processed. I am newer at this but do some research. The gasket 09907 fits my National #7and my Presto #21AV.
Question:	Will this fit model
Answer:	We have a few Model '7' canners - one we have parts for and one we do not. We would like to assist you. Please contact Presto Customer Service Department M-F 8-4:15 CT by phone (1-800-877-0441) or e-mail ([email protected]).

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. If you have any questions, you are able to contact our Customer Service Department by phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail at [email protected]. We are open M-F 8-4:15 CT.
Question:	How many Quart and pint jars does it hold
Answer:	All of our current stainless steel pressure cookers are compatible with an induction top range. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail us at [email protected]. We are open M-F 8-4:15 CT.
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.
