Questions & Answers
The specs say that it is 14 1/2 in deep. This sounds way out of proportion. My old one is 4 1/2 deep and 9 in wide. I assumed since it is a 4 quart cooker, it would be the same. Can you clarify?

Can I use this for canning
Answered by Presto Customer ServiceThere was a time when canning using pressure cookers was deemed a safe method of preserving. However, since 2006 Presto has not provided information for canning in pressure cookers. The information used to support canning in pressure cookers was based on research done in the late 1970's. The current recommendation from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates that to pressure can you will need to use a vessel that is specially a pressure canner, which holds at minimum four quart-size jars. Note that pressure canners are generally 12-quart size or larger. Presto currently has 16 and 23 quart canners. We have recently introduced an electric 12 quart canner as well. If you have any questions please call our Test Kitchen, 1-800-368-2194, weekdays between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Central Time.
