I think my big Presto is a 16? I purchased an 8qt for cooking. Alot of pressure cooker recipes out there too.
In 30 minutes I have pork ribs ready for the sauce and sourdough buns....
Easy to make stocks as well, very fast.
Watch the BTU output of your heat source, they say keep it under 9000 iirc.
I think an outdoor kitchen would be cool, some days it might be too warm over here though.
Pavement, crowds and inaccurate rifles...
Thanks anyway.

canning on glass top is not recommended. if you have a turkey cooker or camp stove I would can on that, just watch the heat as you will turn it down to almost nothing and outside in windy situation can blow out your stove.. as far as brand, most are acceptable or "good". Size is something to consider. I have a couple different that can manage 7 Qts for larger adventures or smaller for a 2 person meal scenario (ham hocks are awesome). The most important piece to the canner is the rubber gasket, take care of it. DONT run gasket thru dishwasher, I use a bit of Vaseline when using gasket.. have had them for 15+ years with no issues....

The Presto is good to go on glass stove tops.

Love my All Americans..



Many of Tuna have been put through them and never had a single issue.  :tup:

I have one other presto but I have to babysit that one as the weight tends to blow off instead of just rattling.

No better canned tuna than Albacore in glass jar.  That looks like a serious operation there, LndShrk.

I first picked up the large Presto only to find that it would not clear the range hood on the last house I owned.  Gave that one to my brother and picked up 2 of the 16 quart Presto's.  My local Wilco has the three piece weight set.  Each piece is 5 psi.  I'm at low elevation so 15 psi is not always needed.  It's much easier than fiddling with the burner setting to hold the 10 psi called for in the Ball Blue Book.
