Review: PRESTO Precise Electric Canner

There are several reasons to consider one of the new electric pressure canners. Perhaps you have a glass-top stove, and you’re concerned about using a traditional canner on it. Perhaps you have other things going on (work from home, small children, etc) that make multi-tasking a must. Perhaps you simply need a second canner. Or perhaps you just feel more comfortable with a canner that needs less attention. Whatever the reason, an electric canner can be a great choice.

Of the three canners below, I have only used the Presto Precise Electric Canner. However, the others, although smaller, have outstanding reviews as well. I am confident that any of these would be a good choice for either the beginner or the experienced home canner.

If you have experience with any of these, please include your thoughts and experience below to help others decide what may or may not work for them.

Presto Precise: https://amzn.to/3Fmj72h This is the one I have. It holds 5 quart jars, 10 half pint jars, and 8 regular mouth pint jars.

Both Nesco and Carey are owned by The Metal Ware Corporation. These two canners appear to be identical. They use very similar wording in the product descriptions. If you’re interested in one of these two, I would buy whichever is cheaper at the time.
