Presto 02153 Digital 23-qt review
Presto Precise 23-Quart Digital Pressure Canner (02153)
By Tom Calder
Presto's largest digital canner holds 7 quarts and runs on its own heater, so there's no stove dial to watch. Presto says it meets USDA guidelines. In 2021 NCHFP said Presto had done that research on its first digital canner itself and USDA hadn't evaluated it, and that users should follow Presto's manual; NCHFP's own site has no newer statement on this model, so follow Presto's own manual and times exactly. It's not a multi-cooker, which NCHFP doesn't support for canning.
