I have a regular presto canner, a water bath and steam canner, I was wondering if anyone here uses an electric canner and what is your opinion. Was wondering if it is any easier or convenient?
The Carey/Nesco canner is an electric canner with the pressure weight so there are different ones used depending on your elevation. I LOVE mine, it is so much simpler. It is a CANNER and the only one on the market at present that I am aware of that has all the USDA parameters. Does 5 pints or 4 quarts.
It is a canner and NOT a pressure cooker. It uses electricity just like an electric stove does. You plug it in vs putting the canner onto a stove top. It doesnt need any more approval than other pressure canners. It is a weighted canner. I actually cannot find ANY list of approved pressure canners.I've yet to see any that have been approved by the USDA for pressure canning, do you have a link for that?
