Crafted from warp-resistant heavy-gauge aluminum, it features a deluxe pressure dial gauge for precise pressure control, works on all stove types, and doubles as a large pressure cooker. With a 12-year warranty and included recipe booklet, it’s a durable, versatile tool for serious home chefs and canners. ## Description desertcart.com 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 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). Review: Amazing Quality and So Easy to Use - I've been using this for over a year now, and it's been amazing. The quality is really good and it's the best canner I've used. I checked prices everywhere, and desertcart had the best deal by far. It's all aluminum and works great on my glass-top stove. The thick bottom plate spreads heat evenly, and it easily holds 18 PSI by adjusting the heat. It's way lighter and much quieter than my old All American canner - no loud noise that bothers anyone in the house. I use it almost weekly for canning vegetables, meats, and soups. It holds a lot, heats evenly, and keeps pressure really well. Super simple to use, and cleanup is easy too. If the rubber gasket wears out, it's only $7 to replace. The manual warns not to use it on outdoor propane burners over 12,000 BTU or it'll warp, but on a regular stove, it's perfect. It's held up perfectly with frequent use. Definitely worth the investment and should last me a long time. Highly recommend if you want a solid, no-fuss pressure canner. Review: Want A Pressure Canner? Get This One!! - 23 Quart pressure canner for $76 plus free shipping? Okay, sounds great. Shipped USPS on 10/22 arrived on 10/23 [Sunday]?? Stunned, is what I am, stunned. A big THANK YOU to the shipping team at desertcart!! Okay, so here's my review. All aluminum, body & top are lightly polished. The bottom has a 10 inch diameter, 1/4" thick bottom-plate to disperse heat better. The pressure caner can be used on a glass-top range... just tested it on mine [a Jenn-Air Model... well in Jenn-Air fashion, they put the info on the underside of the stove... very smart move!], worked great. In the Presto manual, there are more than a few warnings NOT to use this unit on an outdoor propane cooker as the excessive heat will warp the bottom. It states, nothing over 12,000 BTU burner, which is a normal large burner on an average range top. I also own an All American 21.5 qt pressure caner. My personal opinion is, the Presto is better for non-industrial useage. The Presto costs 66% less, is MUCH lighter, can be used on a glass-top range where the All American cannot, mostly because of it's weight. The Presto is WAY quieter. The shuka - shuka - shuka of the 'vent-weight' on the ALL American is so loud my wife asked me never to use it when she's home reading or watching the Idiot Box. To keep 'things' copacetic at home, I obliged. Presto's is as quiet as it gets. No complaints from the wife, 10 feet away, reading... always reading. If the Presto's rubber gasket fails over time, a new one can be had for $7. If the aluminum mating surfaces of the ALL American fail, you have to buy a new pressure caner, or take it to a machine shop that can accommodate a 15 inch part on a lathe. How can it fail? If you don't clean it immediately after use, maybe, for whatever reason, you don't get to it for a week, pitting of the mating surfaces will occur. At that point, unless you have a lathe that can chuck a 20" part, the ALL American is toast. I've personally seen this pitting happen more than once. This happened when cooking a roast, beef tongue, not canning. The meat was removed, the liquid was left behind for about 2 weeks because of an out-of-state family emergency. "Somebody" was not pleased when he attempted to use it the next time. The ALL American, no matter how tight the lid, would not hold pressure. All American caners/cookers are super high quality, VERY heavy duty. But as we age, that weight can become a problem. So, I'm pretty stoked with the Presto, the price and, the shipping miracle. ## Features - The only method recommended safe by the US Department of Agriculture for canning vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood - Doubles as a boiling-water canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa; 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; Extended 12-year limited warranty - Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures; This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes - Extra-large size is great for big canning jobs; Includes canning/cooking rack and complete 76-page instruction and recipe book - Mason Jar Capacity: 26 Half-Pints, 20 Pints, 7 Quarts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000BYCFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,059 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #2 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand | Presto | | Brand Name | Presto | | Capacity | 21.8 Liters | | Closure Type | Outer Lid | | Color | Silver | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 20,033 Reviews | | Finish Type | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075741017815, 00806293908654 | | Included Components | 23 quart pressure cooker | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 15.5"D x 17.5"W x 13.5"H | | Item Type Name | Pressure Canner and Cooker | | Item Weight | 12 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Presto | | Material | Aluminum | | Model Number | 01781 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 01781 | | Product Dimensions | 15.5"D x 17.5"W x 13.5"H | | Special Features | Manual | | UPC | 713976609015 163120762040 168141418303 798527587318 742230900186 881110008359 168141478925 788536208298 803982719119 809385669709 102930742095 705890041095 172302702163 075741017808 071160329331 132017568591 737946602899 845913215246 763616047455 763615715263 758710429696 759284472583 788536209165 702668903159 115970811171 807030499213 667562862493 809186274836 759284016145 635133305205 8721826736… | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 100 Volts (AC) | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited. | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Presto - **Capacity:** 21.8 Liters - **Color:** Silver - **Control Method:** Touch - **Finish Type:** Stainless Steel - **Item Weight:** 12 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 15.5"D x 17.5"W x 13.5"H - **Special Feature:** Manual - **Wattage:** 1000 watts ## Images ![01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y29kSqfhL.jpg) ![01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81I3lK0gaWL.jpg) ![01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HmskwtgmL.jpg) ![01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-hyizDY3L.jpg) ![01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1pCivXhk1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many qt jars can be canned in this pressusre canner?** A: 7 quarts jars. 10 regular mouth pints jars. I currently today have 20 pints of pork canning (i have an additional metal plate like the one that goes on the bottom ) 10 pints on the bottom and 10 on the top rack. You can not double stack quarts. This is the best canner I have owned **Q: How many Quart and pint jars does it hold?** A: I would not put in more than 9 regular mouth pint jars per level, for a total of 18 jars. When you put in 10/level the jars get wedged in and there's a risk of jars cracking, based on my experience. I've been canning for 50+ years and am on my third 23-quart pressure canner just my opinion. **Q: 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?** A: The issue people have with using large vessels on glass top ranges is that if the vessel is larger than the burner ring, it could transfer heat past the area where the glass has been properly tempered for high heat (outside of the burner ring). This could cause a failure in the glass top surface. I would check with your range mfg as well as inly cook in a burner that is the same diameter as the vessel you're using. **Q: how pressure is regulated** A: The pressure is actually regulated by a weight that sits on top of the vent pipe. The canner comes with a weight for 15 PSI, but Presto has weights for 5 & 10 PSI. You may also manually regulate the pressure by monitoring the gauge and controlling the heat under the pot. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Quality and So Easy to Use *by P***I on October 3, 2025* I've been using this for over a year now, and it's been amazing.

If it's new, it's ready go to, just follow the cleaning instructions on page 6 and 7 of the book. They also state there's no reason to buy another 15lb rocker because it comes with one. I ordered the extra rocker for $12 but the unit came last night and has a 15lb rocker in it. Pressure regulator would be the better more proper term, not rocker. I also work in the air pressure industry for a living and we rarely test our gauges unless something obvious is happening and we have variable testing at our facility that goes from 10psi to 300 psi, which that kind of pressure can be dangerous. So I'm not sure why people think they need to get their gauge tested. Even if the gauge is faulty, the rocker is going to rock at 15lbs and never let the pot get higher than this. Additionally, the books states there is a vent pipe (page4) is the "primary pressure relief valve and will release pressure in excess of 15 pounds. The pressure regulator sits loosely on the vent pipe." That's a quote. So this unit is designed to be at 15 lbs or below which the pot can handle. I'm not sure why anyone would blow the lid off unless they rolled their rubber ring, their ring was old or not seated properly or the top was not locked. Again, I haven't used the unit yet, and will follow up soon with a review on that, but from my perspective, I'm going to can tomatoes over the next couple of days and that is 11 lbs of pressure which means I will need my gauge and my rocker should never rock. I have to play with the heat to find where my stove dial holds the pot at 11 lbs and make sure I never see the pressure regulator move or that means the pot has reached 15 lbs. ?? Some of these reviews were confusing and also caused me to buy a 15 lb regulator that came with the unit. It seems unnecessary. ?? Sure seems it's ready to go out of the box, no need to check or buy another item. Okay, I went home and used it last night. I have updates. First, this is a great unit. I can't imagine anyone blowing the lid off if you align it and lock it down. I filled it with water, put it on and ran it up to 15 lbs of pressure. On my stove it took 19 minutes to get there but that's going to vary. I think I understand why people suggest getting the variable weight. In my case, I can a lot of tomatoes. I need this at 10-11 pounds for 15 minutes. I either have to play with the heat setting on my stove to get it to stay at 10-11 pounds, while keeping an eye on it, OR if you buy the rocker weight that is 5-10-15 lbs, you can take it apart, make it a 10 lb rocker and just set it and forget it. I see the logic but don't think that makes buyin the other part necessary, it just saves a little time. Plus, for tomatoes, they suggest 11 lbs. If you are anal and want 11, the variable weight can't do that. if you don't mind 10-11 pounds, no big deal. Either way, I didn't take my cooker to have the gauge tested, This is ready to go out of the box. Just make sure and put a little oil on the ring to keep it in good shape and you might just want to have a back up ring on hand as the unit ages so that on that weekend you want to can, if the ring splits, you slide the new one in and keep going. Great unit and it's HUGE! I love it. Another update...this baby is getting a good workout. Canned a bunch of sauce last night, working on more as I type. We bought the additional weight/rocker that you can make 5-10-15 pounds. Put it at 10 pounds and let it pressure for 16 minutes. Gets the tomato sauce in the jars up to 240 degrees killing all that might be present. Great pressure canner. Highly recommend. Again, still don't understand how anyone could blow the lid off if you align this properly. No blown lids here. Just gotta read the book and use it properly I think. Another update - well, we've done 7 gallons of roma tomato sauce, 5 quarts a session and this pressure canner is great. It's so easy to lock the lid. I've also realized it has a special lock that when pressure starts to build, but even before it can be read on the gauge, the lock pops up and there's no way you can open this canner with pressure so no danger. I will say that when my 16 minutes at 11 lbs for tomato sauce are up, I take a kitchen knife and lean the pressure rocker over to let the steam out quickly. Within 4-5 minutes, all the pressure has bleed out, the lock goes back down and I take the lid off. This is not in the book, but I was just dying to see how the jars looks. As I took them out, they were still boiling and we put a laser temp gauge on them and they were reading 210-215. Given the heat was turned off over 4-5 minutes ago, it's reasonable to assume it was indeed up to 240 which is what is needed to kill all the stuff for tomato sauce. Keep in mind, this is different for every food, for every size and for every elevation. So read the book for your food and it will tell you what to do. I recommend citric acid as well as the adjustable pressure regulator (rocker) and a canning kit, particularly to get the jars out. Taking them out at 215 degrees is careful business. But it's cool to see them boiling inside the jars. And within 10 minutes, they are down to 160 which is when the 'tinning' or vacuming starts. As you know, the cooling is what causes the air tight seal, not the pressure canning. Pressure canning is to raise the temp up high enough to kill all the germs, when you take them out, they do the tinning sounds and you can hear all the tops going ting, ting.....ting...then you know you are getting a great seal! ## Frequently Bought Together - Presto 01781 Pressure Canner and Cooker, 23 qt, Silver - IMPRESA 2-Pack Canning Rack for Pressure Cooker - Stainless Steel - Compatible with Presto, All American Pressure Canner and More - 11 Inch (28cm Canners for Canning) - 50332 3-Piece Pressure Regulator 5-10-15lb Canning Weight for Presto Pressure Cooker Canner 0178107 0178410 0175107 0174510 0175510 0177001 0174001 6803571 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/999062-01781-pressure-canner-and-cooker-23-qt-silver](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/999062-01781-pressure-canner-and-cooker-23-qt-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
