This buying guide will walk you through the essential factors to consider when shopping for the best pressure canner.
1. Size and Capacity:
Pressure canners come in various sizes, typically ranging from 10 to 41 quarts. Choose a size based on the quantity of food you plan to preserve, keeping in mind that larger canners are heavier and require more storage space.

Aluminum and stainless steel are the most common materials used. While aluminum is lighter and less expensive, stainless steel is more durable and works on induction cooktops.

Look for pressure canners with multiple safety features, like pressure release valves and locking lids, to ensure a secure and safe canning process.
6. Handles and Weight:
Since you’ll be handling hot, pressurized containers, sturdy and ergonomic handles are a must. Also, consider the weight of the canner, especially when full.

Some pressure canners double as pressure cookers, and others come with accessories like steaming racks. If you’re tight on space, a multi-use model may be a good option.
8. Brand and Reliability:
Well-known brands like Presto and All American have a track record of reliability and durability. Consider opting for a reputable brand to ensure long-term performance.
9. Accessories:
Some models come with added accessories like canning racks, recipe books, or jars. These extras can provide added value to your purchase.
10. Price and Budget:
Pressure canners vary widely in price, from budget-friendly models to high-end units. Consider your budget and the features that are most important to you when making your decision.

Most pressure canners come with a limited warranty, usually ranging from one to five years. Make sure to read the fine print to understand what is and isn’t covered.
12. User Reviews:
Customer reviews provide valuable insights into a product’s real-world performance. Take the time to read through them to make an informed decision.
13. Replacement Parts:
Ensure that replacement parts like seals and gauges are readily available for the model you choose. This will make it easier to maintain your canner in the long run.
14. Energy Efficiency:
Some models are designed to be more energy-efficient, which can be a deciding factor if you plan to use your pressure canner frequently.
15. Ease of Use:
User-friendly features like clear instruction manuals, simple gauge designs, and easy-to-clean components can make your canning experience more enjoyable.
By considering these factors, you’ll be well-equipped to choose a pressure canner that perfectly suits your canning needs. Happy canning!
