Overview
A 9.5 quart digital pressure canner and cooker from Nesco that walks first time canners through pressure canning, water bath processing, slow cooking and steaming with an automatic float valve and lock lid.
It is not fully hands-off end to end: an alarm signals a roughly 30 minute window during which you manually switch the valve before the rest of the cycle finishes on its own.
- 9.5 quart pot with pressure cook, slow cook, steam and water bath modes
- Automatic float valve, safety lock lid and pressure regulation
- Digital display with preset programs and timer
- Includes canning rack, steam rack and removable condensation catcher
Who it's for
Good for first-time canners intimidated by traditional stovetop pressure canning, and for anyone doing small batches of vegetables, meats or broths. Less suited to canners who regularly process large quantities per session.
Pros and cons
- Approachable controls for first-time pressure canners
- Also works as slow cooker, steamer, water bath
- Doesn't heat up the kitchen like stovetop canning
- Includes canning rack, steam rack, condensation catcher
- Capacity limited to about 4 quart jars
- Requires manually switching the valve mid-cycle
Performance notes
Once started, the unit regulates pressure and temperature and shuts itself off when the cycle completes.
