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.

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!
