What Is the Difference Between a Pressure Cooker and a Pressure Canner?
Is there a difference between a pressure cooker and a pressure canner? A lot of people who approach canning for the first time ask themselves this question.
Well, the answer is that they are basically the same thing since they use pressure cooking as their cooking method. But, the cooker that you are going to use for canning has to have certain features.
The main difference is the size
A pressure canner is larger in size than a pressure cooker. Canners have usually a capacity of 10 Quarts and more, because they have to be large enough to accommodate a certain number of jars on the bottom. So, you can use a larger pressure cooker for canning as well.
On the other hand, pressure canners can be used for pressure cooking, even though because of their large size and weight they are not very practical to handle for everyday cooking.
The material
Cookers are usually made of stainless steel, aluminum or combinations of both materials (aluminum is in the core of a stainless steel "sandwich"). Stainless steel is not a very good thermal conductor so aluminum (or even copper) is added to compensate it.
Most pressure canners are all aluminum.
The pressure settings
Pressure cookers usually have a working pressure of 15 psi (this is the standard). Usually, today's cookers come with an additional lower working pressure setting for the purposes of cooking more delicate ingredients and meals (like fish), but you are most likely going to use the 15 psi setting. A decrease to 12 or 10 psi will increase the cooking times.
Pressure canning require the use of different working pressures. The pressure you are going to use for your canning depends from the jar's size you are using, the acidity of the food you are canning and the altitude of your location. So, you need to increase it if you are canning low acidity foods or if your location is on higher altitudes. Buying a canner with three different pressure settings is ideal.
The gasket
Cookers usually have sealing rings made of rubber or silicone (gaskets) for the purpose of creating an airtight environment inside the cooker and preventing the air and steam from escaping.

Presto 23 Quart Pressure Cooker Canner Review
The Presto name goes a long way back to 1905 when it started to manufacture industrial size pressure canners for commercial canneries. Given this history, if you are in the market for a new pressure cooker canner surely the Presto 23 quart is worth considering?
The Presto 23 quart is made of extra strong Aluminum with an attractive polished finish which is easily cleaned with a soap and water. It can also be kept bright and shiny using a good silver polish.
It is suitable for use on regular and smooth top ranges; however some people have reported that when using a glass top stove the pressure takes longer to come up. Another point to consider is that standing over 16" with the gauge you may not have room if you have an over the range microwave.
Each time the cooker is used the seal ring must be removed and washed in warm sudsy water, dried and replaced in the cover. Because the seal rings are made of rubber, Presto advises replacing them every three years. In our experience we suggest that a spare be purchased after the first year and put in the cupboard just in case. Parts can be ordered online from the presto website.
The presto 23 quart has some good safety features, for example only when the cover is closed properly will the air vent allow pressure to build up. If there is an excessive build up of pressure the over pressure plug will let off the steam while the pressure regulator prevents a build up in the canner above 15 pounds.
A locking bracket situated on the inside of the canner engages with the air vent cover to prevent the cover being opened if there is still pressure in the unit
The presto 23 quart can hold 20 pint jars or 7 quart jars. It has an accurate easy to read pressure gauge, registering pounds per square inch situated on top of the lid for constant pressure monitoring during canning. Maintenance is fairly straight forward and the manual covers all planned cleaning in detail. The presto site has some good information on canning, with lots of recipes for you to try in your new cooker.

Pressure Cooking Canning, What is the Difference?
You are wondering is it really worth the time and effort to can and preserve my garden's bounty this year? Even for that matter you are down at the local grocery store and see a bunch of in season fruit and vegetables on sale. Buying some and enjoying it at home sure is satisfying. What if you could enjoy these fruits and vegetables all year around? Wouldn't that be nice?
Remember visiting you grandma's house and looking in her pantry and seeing rows of mason jars filled with tomato sauce, green beans, peppers and more.
Back in the day, Grandma would be in the kitchen in the middle of the summer, pealing, blanching and canning away. Taking the garden's harvest preserving them in glass mason jars using a large pot of boiling water. Now a-days known as the water bath canning method.
Water bath canner
The water bath canning method uses boiling water to kill off bacteria and serialize the jars and lids. This method is good for high acid foods like tomatoes and fruits. The canned food reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit, if you are sea level that is. The higher up in altitude you live the lower the boiling point of water is due to the lower air pressure, remember your high school chemistry and physics classes? That is why water bath canning recipes have different processing times based on your altitude.
The problem with using the water bath canning method low acid foods will allow the deadly bacteria to grow in an oxygen free environment. Later when you open up the jar and have bite it can be very risky if not deadly. How do I preserve low acid foods safely?
Pressure cooker canner
Pressure cooker canning uses a specially made pressure cooker to raise the air pressure in the vessel which in turn increases the temperature at which water boils. Water is an incredible agent for absorbing and transferring heat.
