Ugh. I'm glad I watched this video. I bought my canner at a yardsale and it didn't have the rack. I only paid $7 for it though. Will order from Amazon.
So glad you are doing a series. Just started back up with canning I'm just need a refresher course. I hope Heather and her family get better and thanks for filling in
I’m so pleased to see more people deciding to can and put their food up. I grew up this way and know the immense satisfaction of seeing those pretty jars in my pantry.
Omgah! So glad I found you. I am a newbie and I was a scaredy cat BUT Not anymore. Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial. You are an excellent and thorough instructor, straight to the point, you cover everything about the unit and safety as well. Nothing boring here! I have grown beautiful vegetables over the years and I freeze everything or water bath. Someone gave me the Presto and it has been so long ago I cant remember who gifted it to me. I almost purchased the electric digital design pressure canner but I decided to search a few tutorials on this canner and because of your knowledge I’m going all the way now! Yay me! Seriously, thanks a bushel and a peck :) I am subscribed for ever.
Excellent overview. Wish I saw this 7 weeks ago, but I figured it out by listening to you and reading my books. But still...great info! Thank you...your awesome girl! ☺👍❤
I felt same way. One day I decided to "take it out for a test drive". I canned water, figured if I was gonna screw up, can't hurt water. That gave me confidence.... but canning enabler Leisa pushed me to try more!! Lol
Thank you so much for your knowledge. I'm new to pressure canning and am so thankful to have teachers like you to help me gain confidence and understanding ❤️ blessings to you !!!
I watched a review recently of a start up for a pressure canned without a dial gauge, and even tho I haven’t done canning myself, I’m bingeing on info, getting ready for canning. There were so many no-no’s in what she said. You and a couple others are the ones I “pay attention” to and take my guidance from.
Dear Leisa, there is SO much bad canning information out there. Thank you for your diligence and heart to teach us the correct and safe canning practices!
Hey Leisa. I watched this video awhile ago. But I came back to it to check out if I can stack in my 16 qt. Pressure canner. I did order a second rack. In the video you mentioned stacking only for 23 qt. So can I stack in my 16 qt? Thanks honey. Love and take care.
They make a certain model for induction stove tops but I would recommend you get that series as these will typically crack your glass unless It has the special bottom (induction series) hope that helps
I been canning for 15 years. Not once did my canner ever do this. I was using it last night and as I turned off the stove the canner made a loud dog whistle type noise.it stoped when it reached 0 pressure. Was wondering y it did that
When you first buy your canner take it to the county extension office then every year before you start canning. A dial can be off by as many as three pounds to much or to little. I only use the weighted gauge because it’s always correct.
Hi friend, you alluded to the fact that you cannot do a second layer of jars in the 16 quart canner. Mine has not arrived yet, but I was hoping to do two levels of pint jars. Not possible or recommended?
If anyone else can answer this I would appreciate it because I’m trying to get this sorted out today. Someone gave me a pressure canner with the 15 pound Jiggler. I live at sea level and need to know if I need a 10 pound Gigler or do I just change the amount of time I pressure can? I did two batches before I knew there was a problem with the jiggler and About half of the fluid came out. So my first two batches of canning didn’t work out. Please help. I have no pressure valve with the numbers on it
A friend was given one of these canners. She wasn’t using it and knew nothing about canning. She knew I was interested in learning about canning and gave me hers! Thank you helping to build my confidence up!💕
Thank you Leisa. I am just getting started with canning. I just ordered the Presto 23 quart from Ace. It will ship to store in a week. They had the best price. I think it was $99.99. With tax it was $107.42. I am slightly terrified of these things. I know walking through the process with you is going to help immensely. No questions right now, I’m sure they will come fast and furious once attempting to use it. Enjoy your day!
Today I am using the jugglers on my Presto canners for the first time while canning a bunch of corned beef. Aside from trying to interpret a gentle vs an energetic hula, I'm enjoying watching them dance!
If you can't find a part there go to pressure cooker outlet.Love my Prestos. Bought my 13 qt. on Ebay for 25.00 and got a new weight forit. Also have an older 22 qt. I inherited.use 3 pc. weight on it. Both still going strong.
On a side note, are you UA-cam pantry preppers going to be doing any fund raisers for Heather and her kids? I've heard many bad stories about gofundme not turning over nearly as much monies as are raised, so even though I would like to pitch in I can't see giving to a gofundme page.
Thank you for your excellent teaching! Not entirely sure I will do pressure canning. I’m 76 years old no children, and live in a townhouse with a small yard. But sometimes I get these delusions of grandeur and think about it! I truly love your videos, and hope you carry on for a very long time! God bless and keep you always!
I learned how to pressure can from you and this video awhile back and been successful ever since. Thank you so much!! I just found your channel again bc baked beans 😂❤
I got a presto pressure canner last year I did one batch of chicken. I live in Northeast Ohio and it says that I should pressure cook with 11 pounds. I want to buy one of those rocker gadgets but they only go 5 pounds 10 pounds and 15 pounds. Does that mean I am not able to use it? When I was canning my check in the pressure dropped down to 10 pounds a couple of times for a minute it was so hard to keep turning the burner to keep it exactly at 11 pounds. Is my chicken still good to eat? I’ve been afraid to eat it because it went below what they shed it should stay at. Someone please please help me with this. I would love to keep pressure canning but I cannot stand have to watch that dial it is terrible.
Hi, I have a frustrating Q, lol. Is the air vent/cover lock supposed to spew out steam after its already popped up and the weight has been added to the vent pipe? I waited for the air vent/cover lock to pop up before I placed the weight on the main air vent but now, my pressure guage won't rise a bit and the cover lock is spewing out steam. Is this normal? Thanks in advance!! ❤
Don't wait for it to lock up before putting on your regulator/weight. Yes, it is normal. It will stop more often than not during the process once it hits actually pressure.
Thank you, because I am Literally, just taking my new 23 qt Presto out of the box. You have inspired me, so now I am binge watching your videos. I will be starting my canning with Ugly chicken. Do you recommend any pressure canning books for beginners for meats and veggies ?
How about I had mine for 2 years as well. I canned 1 time with assistance and haven’t done it sense. I am going to pray and dive in. I hope you feel encouraged too. Let’s do it!
I am a student to this and thank you sooooo much for this lesson and thanks for the tip”she’s guna blow....look out” lol. For me I live at 39’ sea level on greater northern calif coast...almost to oregon. So my gauge I’m reading should be at 10, but I’m going to can some water, and some chicken thighs for a run to see the best gauge for me. I bought an All American 910 canner, it’s smaller than I thought it to be, but once 8m not a beginner I’ll get the “double stack canner”. Wish me luck 👍🏼
This is my first year back to canning after a 35 year hiatus. I basically only water bath canned before. I bought an All American canner this year and have been thrilled. My daughter in law saw how much canning I have been doing and picked up a Presto canner for me. Thank you for such a great video. As always Leisa, you rock!!!! Your attention to detail is amazing. ❤️🙌🎉
Thank you Lisa, I just bought a new presto canner and you are really giving good directions! I had a mirro canner for 45 years and it bit the dust! Thanks again. I wasn’t sure about the rocker
Great video. I have the old style presto with no gauge and rocker that you add the counterweights to. You have to listen for the rhythm of the rocker to judge the pressure. That things been going strong for almost 20 years now with still good life left in it👍
I just figured out why all my food is loosing liquid. Thank you!! I thought it was the weight so I made it dance and thought hmmmm. Mine doesn’t dance until 17 Lbs, which I thought was just off a couple pounds. So I guess I’m off by like 6 pounds to much because I’m at 1100 feet which would be 15 pounds weighted gauge and I think 11 pounds gauge, I’ll have to double check that. Correct me if I’m wrong please... I’m new to canning.
I just canned for the first time, carrots, my psi should be 10 but my pressure cooker was at 14 psi. I kept turning down the heat but never got down to my 10 psi. What affect will this have on my carrots? Thank you.
Hello, Thanks for the video - I have a question. I canned quart pinto beans for 90 minutes. My weight was 10 pounds but it kept going to 15 even though I had it on low heat. I took off the weight and let out pressure for it to go down and put it back on which it stayed about 13. Are the beans still ok you think? Thanks in advance :)
Hi Leila, Just wanted to chime in and tell you that your beans are fine. As long as the pressure never dropped BELOW the required pressure based on your altitude. Ideally you want it to be the same the whole time but it will not harm your food in any way. Again, it must stay at or above the required pressure
I am having a terrible time with my stove keeping 10 pounds of pressure. I have a 23 quart Presto and I’m not seeing that the regulator you’re using is fitting for that canner. Am I wrong? I’m so new and still at that freaked out stage. Thank you for all your help!
I wanted to order back ups parts for my 23 qt Presto. I got everything I need except the rubber gasket and I cannot find the part number for my canner. Do you happen to know if all Presto canners use the same size gasket?
Thank you for sharing how-to on presto canner. I recently purchased a 16 qtr and after reviewing this video I'm feeling confident on my first run pressure canning. I feel safe.
@@dianafloss5910 Hi thanks for asking...i successful pressure can 3 pints of beef broth, 2 pints of navajo tea, 4 pints of water at 15 lbs for 40 minutes. In my second round, i did 5 quarts of Italian style pasta sauce with tomatoes, red/green bell peppers, onion, mushroom and ground beef sauce at 15lbs for 75 minutes
What if I did not exhaust pressure for 10 min. prior? It's maintenance 13 on gauge with 25 min. left. Do I need to start over cause temp could be less I side?
I HAVE A QUESTION! I HAVE BEEN CANNING FOR 40 YRS! WHY ARE MY CANNING RINGS SUDDENLY TURNING BLACK DURING THE CANNING PROCESS. I HAVE ALWAYS USED VINEGAR BUT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY STILL WORK BUT I DONT LIKE HOW THEY LOOK. SAME BRAND COULD IT BW SOMETHING I AM DOING OR IS IT JUST THEY HAVE CHANGED THE WAY THEY MAKE THEM
my canner came with only one rack. I found a round rack (intended for something else, I don't know what) at a thrift store now I can process two layers of jars in one batch.
If you have time, I'd like to learn about canning veggies in 1/2 pint jars -- haven't found info on how it differs from using the full pints. Small household and pints would be too much for us.
If you're canning in a size that's smaller than what sizes are listed you use the same headspace & the process time listed for the next larger jar. So use time for pints if half pint / one cup time isn't listed.
I used my Presto 23 qt for the first time a few days ago. I never saw a steady stream of steam. It "hissed" steadily, but I never SAW steam. I don't know if the steam was just so fine, I couldn't see it, or if something was wrong, but I literally waited 45 minutes. It would occasionally spit water, so I finally put my jiggle weight on and it did come up to pressure. Was something wrong, or was the steam just too fine to see?
My presto canner is from 1991. It hasn't been used much though. The "airlock/cover vent mechanism is in the handle on mine. It took 5 hours for it to let me open the lid yesterday(and I'm in freezing cold Alberta...cold snap right now) so my kitchen isn't hot. I'm wondering about maintenance as there is a black rubber around it(the doo dad you showed is open to the inside in mine, not the outside). any suggestions of where I can get info on that age of presto canner? I've searched the internet and can't find anything.
To clarify, the canner was completely depressurized for 3 hours, jiggler was off that long, before the airlock would open. I had tried to wiggle the lid and it finally dropped 15 minutes after that
@Suttons Daze LOL, I gave up and called Presto. She was lovely. In under a minute, she figured out the store chain that brought it in took a Mirro Canner, rebranded the box and sold it silly people like me that thought they were purchasing a Presto canner. New seal for the Mirro is $60...and she said the Mirro company is disappearing, so I ordered myself and shiny new All American Canner. I'd been searching for two years for a second hand one and couldn't find any so I I gave up and bought one. Their tattler lids wer on sale so bought a set of those too. I'm ready for the rush next year!
Love your videos . I have a question for you . I just pressure cooked wild turkey breasts cutting them into chunks using the hot pack method and it turned out really good for it being my 1st time. When I got done I was not quite sure what to do with it as far as recipes . I did think of 2 but no more, was wandering if you could please give me ideas or shoot me in a direction to find out .Thanks Keep up the fantastic job. Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks Leisa! I got the extra racks so I can double stack the smaller jars in my 16 quart, as you apply told me that "if it fits, it ships" concerning my 16 quart model. I can't wait until next week, as my canner doesn't have a pressure gage, mine uses the adjustable weight.
So I can’t seem to get my lid on 😂 I’m so confused. I’ve never had a canner before. Any chance you could post a video on how to place the lid properly? Mine might be the wrong lid.
My husband (who is much better at finding deals than I am) is in charge of finding me my 1st canner - I've always shared a canner with my mom in the past and that's becoming more inconvenient. I'm looking for the larger Presto, but am SO excited to try some of the ideas I learned in Canuary. :)
Thank you so much for this! I'm actually working on getting the presto pressure canner soon and definitely feel better with this walk-through! I greatly appreciate this!! :)
Thanks for the info. I have the 23 quart Presto. It is good to know how it all works and reassuring to know I am doing things correctly. If the vent hasn’t vented 10 minutes and that thing has popped up, can I put the regulator on as soon as it pops up? Does it mean I had my stove temp up too high?
Presto! Thank you! I have the large one with a gauge and a small one without it. I have both types of weights. I’m looking forward to the videos on the adjustable weight you have. Oh, I play Romper Room Magic Mirror when I use my canners. It’s fun.
Thank you so very much for this video. I’ve had a Presto Pressure Canner for four months now. It’s still brand new, in the box. I’m too intimidated to open it.
Hi I have various presto pressure cooker/canners, the outsides weren't looking great, bought parts, but the surface looked rough. Tyvm for putting this video out.
Can you please help me I’m new to this and no one is helping me I have a 01784 presto pressure canner it doesn’t go past 5 pounds of pressure so I’m assuming I need to buy weight but I don’t know which ones are where to get them can you please help me

Hi Leisa greeting from melbourne Australia. Thanks for sharing your version of the pressure canning . I use a pressure canner in melbourne.

Not enough room to stack in a 16qt unless you're using half pint jars
How long would a canned food last? Compared to like store bought stuff
ua-cam.com/video/he2pSEebjqc/v-deo.html
Has anyone used induction with the Presto Canner? I would like to use a portable induction burner. Love the series, thank you!
They make a certain model for induction stove tops but I would recommend you get that series as these will typically crack your glass unless It has the special bottom (induction series) hope that helps
How long should it take for the safety to get up? 2 hours?
No, not two hours
That's way too long. Somewhere around 30 minutes is when mine goes off dependent upon how high my flame is turned on.
I been canning for 15 years. Not once did my canner ever do this. I was using it last night and as I turned off the stove the canner made a loud dog whistle type noise.it stoped when it reached 0 pressure. Was wondering y it did that

Thank you for sharing how-to on presto canner. I recently purchased a 16 qtr and after reviewing this video I'm feeling confident on my first run pressure canning. I feel safe.
You've got this!
How'd it go? 😊
@@dianafloss5910 Hi thanks for asking...i successful pressure can 3 pints of beef broth, 2 pints of navajo tea, 4 pints of water at 15 lbs for 40 minutes. In my second round, i did 5 quarts of Italian style pasta sauce with tomatoes, red/green bell peppers, onion, mushroom and ground beef sauce at 15lbs for 75 minutes
@@rayelitaduboise271 sounds amazing!
What if I did not exhaust pressure for 10 min. prior? It's maintenance 13 on gauge with 25 min. left. Do I need to start over cause temp could be less I side?
Yes, you need to restart it
Is my food safe if I did not exhaust air for 10 min?
No, its not.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I HAVE A QUESTION! I HAVE BEEN CANNING FOR 40 YRS! WHY ARE MY CANNING RINGS SUDDENLY TURNING BLACK DURING THE CANNING PROCESS. I HAVE ALWAYS USED VINEGAR BUT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THEY STILL WORK BUT I DONT LIKE HOW THEY LOOK. SAME BRAND COULD IT BW SOMETHING I AM DOING OR IS IT JUST THEY HAVE CHANGED THE WAY THEY MAKE THEM
Maybe too much vinegar?
@@SuttonsDaze Thanks I will try 1/2 the amount and see if that helps. I currently use 1/4 cup in 3 quarts of water.
@@lauraIngleswilder74 oh goodness, a couple tablespoons is all you need
my canner came with only one rack. I found a round rack (intended for something else, I don't know what) at a thrift store now I can process two layers of jars in one batch.
Hey Linda how many quarts is your canner?
@@dressedanddepressed2301 It holds 7 quarts. I seldom do quarts since I'm canning for one.
I'm so glad you are doing this series. There are so many folks out there new to canning and this valuable information for them to get started.
I am really happy for these videos also. Take care
If you have time, I'd like to learn about canning veggies in 1/2 pint jars -- haven't found info on how it differs from using the full pints. Small household and pints would be too much for us.
If you're canning in a size that's smaller than what sizes are listed you use the same headspace & the process time listed for the next larger jar. So use time for pints if half pint / one cup time isn't listed.
@@future.homesteader Thank you so much -- when you know as little as I do about canning, just about everything is a question.
I'm doing my first canning session thank you!
Rose Red Homestead is another good one to watch and Linda's Pantry is good too.
I used my Presto 23 qt for the first time a few days ago. I never saw a steady stream of steam. It "hissed" steadily, but I never SAW steam. I don't know if the steam was just so fine, I couldn't see it, or if something was wrong, but I literally waited 45 minutes. It would occasionally spit water, so I finally put my jiggle weight on and it did come up to pressure. Was something wrong, or was the steam just too fine to see?
Same here! It’s already an intimidating process, I don’t need more anxiety!
the steady stream of steam is both visual and audible.
My presto canner is from 1991. It hasn't been used much though. The "airlock/cover vent mechanism is in the handle on mine. It took 5 hours for it to let me open the lid yesterday(and I'm in freezing cold Alberta...cold snap right now) so my kitchen isn't hot. I'm wondering about maintenance as there is a black rubber around it(the doo dad you showed is open to the inside in mine, not the outside). any suggestions of where I can get info on that age of presto canner? I've searched the internet and can't find anything.
To clarify, the canner was completely depressurized for 3 hours, jiggler was off that long, before the airlock would open. I had tried to wiggle the lid and it finally dropped 15 minutes after that
Best deal is to find the serial number and google it
@Suttons Daze LOL, I gave up and called Presto. She was lovely. In under a minute, she figured out the store chain that brought it in took a Mirro Canner, rebranded the box and sold it silly people like me that thought they were purchasing a Presto canner. New seal for the Mirro is $60...and she said the Mirro company is disappearing, so I ordered myself and shiny new All American Canner. I'd been searching for two years for a second hand one and couldn't find any so I I gave up and bought one. Their tattler lids wer on sale so bought a set of those too. I'm ready for the rush next year!
Love your videos . I have a question for you . I just pressure cooked wild turkey breasts cutting them into chunks using the hot pack method and it turned out really good for it being my 1st time. When I got done I was not quite sure what to do with it as far as recipes . I did think of 2 but no more, was wandering if you could please give me ideas or shoot me in a direction to find out .Thanks Keep up the fantastic job. Greatly Appreciated.
Anything you would use chicken in
@@SuttonsDaze Thanks
@@SuttonsDaze I live in Massachusetts. I don't know my altitude.im afraid to used this canner.
This was very helpful and informative!! Thank you!!
Thanks Leisa! I got the extra racks so I can double stack the smaller jars in my 16 quart, as you apply told me that "if it fits, it ships" concerning my 16 quart model. I can't wait until next week, as my canner doesn't have a pressure gage, mine uses the adjustable weight.
So I can’t seem to get my lid on 😂 I’m so confused. I’ve never had a canner before. Any chance you could post a video on how to place the lid properly? Mine might be the wrong lid.
Lol that's what I am dealing with
@@lela1304 apparently there are arrows on the lid and the handle. You have to line them together and it locks 🤣
It took me a half hour to figure it out lol and it's very stiff and hard to turn. I'm wondering if it helps once I put some oil on the rubber gasket?
My husband (who is much better at finding deals than I am) is in charge of finding me my 1st canner - I've always shared a canner with my mom in the past and that's becoming more inconvenient. I'm looking for the larger Presto, but am SO excited to try some of the ideas I learned in Canuary. :)
When you are double stacking in the 23 quart do you still use 3 quarts of water?
Yes
@@SuttonsDaze thank you
YAY....NYC virgin Newbie to canning....Looking forward to this thanks..!!!
Thank you so much for this! I'm actually working on getting the presto pressure canner soon and definitely feel better with this walk-through! I greatly appreciate this!! :)
Thanks for the info. I have the 23 quart Presto. It is good to know how it all works and reassuring to know I am doing things correctly. If the vent hasn’t vented 10 minutes and that thing has popped up, can I put the regulator on as soon as it pops up? Does it mean I had my stove temp up too high?
Presto! Thank you! I have the large one with a gauge and a small one without it. I have both types of weights. I’m looking forward to the videos on the adjustable weight you have. Oh, I play Romper Room Magic Mirror when I use my canners. It’s fun.
Thank you so very much for this video. I’ve had a Presto Pressure Canner for four months now. It’s still brand new, in the box. I’m too intimidated to open it.
Dont be afraid of it. You can do it!
I had an all American canner for a year until I got brave and used it. Now I can everything in sight lol. You can do it too!! You’ll love it!
If I could learn at 72, then you will have no problems. Keep watching Leisa and you will learn a lot.
I found a 16 qt canner on facebook market for $25. It came with all its parts and original book.
Hi I have various presto pressure cooker/canners, the outsides weren't looking great, bought parts, but the surface looked rough. Tyvm for putting this video out.
Excellent! Watching your presto canning videos gave me the confidence to get mine and pressure can.
Wonderful video and I learned something too.👍👍👍😁😁😁
Thank you so much! I just got a 16 quart and this series will be perfect! ❤️❤️
I got the 23 quart for Christmas. Thanks for this video.
