This 16-Quart Pressure Canner is designed for easy, confident home pressure canning. Also doubles as a boiling water canner for preserving fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa in half-pint and pint jars. Works on gas, electric, and smooth-top ranges. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers precise processing pressures, which is especially important in high-altitude areas.

A special air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced. It also gives a visual indication of pressure inside the canner.

Handy to use as a large-capacity pressure cooker for preparing meats, poultry, soups, desserts, and more.

Made of durable heavy-gauge aluminum for long life and fast, even heating.
