Presto 02152 17-Quart Digital Pressure Canner with Sensor, Water Bath, and 10 Safety Features

Effortless, precise home canning with the Presto Precise 17-Quart Digital Canner

The Presto Precise 17-quart digital canner blends automation with dependable control, so you can focus on jars and produce rather than dialing in temperatures. Its sensor maintains the exact processing temperature required for safe canning, even when you’re working at higher altitudes. The result is a streamlined process that adapts to your batch without constant adjustments, helping you achieve consistent results with less guessing.

Designed for both pressure canning and boiling water canning, this tall stainless unit accommodates quart jars and larger batches with ease. The digital interface lets you choose the canning method and set the processing time, while a built-in timer ensures precise timing. An LED display lights up to guide you through each step, making setup and progress easy to monitor at a glance. The system preheats jars and then holds them at the correct processing temperature until all jars are ready for processing, which can help you stay organized even during busy canning sessions.

Smart features that support consistent results

• Automated canning: streamlined controls help you move through steps with confidence.
• Exact temperature sensor: maintains the required heat for safe processing without constant monitoring.
• Boiling point detection: for boiling water canning, the unit automatically starts when the water reaches the right temperature.
• Heat retention: designed to keep heat inside, helping your kitchen stay cooler while you work.
• Safety first: ten built-in safety features, including a cover locking system and an alert for incomplete cycles.

For pressure canning you can process up to 19 half-pints, 8 pints, or 5 quarts; for boiling water canning, up to 10 half-pints, 8 pints, or 5 quarts. The digital system helps preheat jars and hold them at the right temperature until you’re ready to begin processing, potentially reducing guesswork and improving batch flow.
