Thank you SO very much for your step-by-step instructions on this. I just got mine yesterday (1/25/2024) and was completely intimated since I have only had experience with stove top canning. Now I have a glass-top stove & needed to update how I canned. Thank you for putting my mind at ease. I will always can, however the next thing I add to my food storage is a freeze dryer. But canning is the best thing I have ever learned.
It was a little overwhelming for us as well but after making these videos it has become old hat! With your experience with stove top canning this becomes a walk in the park! Very easy! Thank you for watching. I am honored that you stopped by!
This video was just what I needed. I have been canning for about a year now using the small pressure cooker with one canning setting from Costco. For some reason, this presto just felt intimidating. After a week of walking around the Prestco Canner box sitting in my living room, I watched your video and it gave the the confidence I needed. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you.
@jaylynnthompson6836 I am diagnoses ADHD and getting more obsessive compulsive as I age. I've wondered about dyslexia in myself but can not confirm it. My methods are very similar either way, though. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Appreciated. Your attention to detail is great. I believe the jar warming time is automatic. I think the 20 minutes you entered would be the time for your recipe under pressure.
You are absolutely right. In this first video I was still figuring things out. You can see this and ten other videos on the playlist for the Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner at: ruclips.net/p/PLOjZMooTYyz_eguLO_j_8DyICElX1yg5o I love this canner! Thank you for stopping by!
Your video was a definite help when my Presto Digital Canner arrived. It helped to see you washing everything as well as doing the trial run, and that gave me confidence. Appreciate it!
@@maegan5034 I am so excited it helped! I will be doing a lot of jam making with our spring berry harvests in the next month or two. Videos to come. Thank you for watching!
@lauraswink578 Oh, I remember that stress like it was yesterday! Add to that it took nearly 60 days for us to get a non-damaged one actually delivered, and it was nuts! 🤣😅😆 I know they've done minor improvements over the years. I may have to get a newer one in the next year or so to get 'caught up'. 😁 I am so happy you found value in this. Thank you so much for stopping by! 👋🎉
@@bowtielife I received my canner yesterday and made chili beans last night. I’m super excited about this canner, it’s so easy to use and a lot lighter than my huge regular Presto.
@@donnastepp9052 oh?!? Chili beans 🫘 that sounds interesting! I will look into that. I always love hearing ideas like that. Thank you! I love this canner, too! It is so easy to pull out for a batch and then done. I’m glad you enjoy it as much as I do.
Sir! I have to give you a (A+) for your video in unboxing and doing a test run, that was done according to the manual book. I had watched four videos before I got to yours. Now all was unboxing the first time. #1 parts was never washed, #2 they didn’t warm the jars, they was putting the food in the jar with lids and rings and running the warm jar cycle, Thank you for teaching us correctly. I purchase one today and I have already downloaded the manual and read the whole thing. So when mine gets here I will be ready. Again thank you. Donna Jones from Taylor’s SC
You do me high honor, thank you! I always knew my obsessive compulsive behaviors have some value! Thank you for stopping by! All the best you your canning experience.
Thank you so much for stopping by! We have a new Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner video coming out in a few days. We walk through beginning to end on canning a batch of cold pack green beans from harvest to cleaning the parts of the canner at the end!
Thank you so much for making this video, I was trying to follow the water test instructions but they weren't clear. It has really helped this newbie to go through the steps with someone who knows what to expect. Right we are on the step right before we put on regulator. This video has helped calm my nervousness and fears of not doing it right. 😊
I love hearing that! This is the biggest reason this video got made! I have used it a lot since then and it seems easier every time. I do have that freeze dryer on my list. We face budget and space concerns but it will happen one day. Both Mrs Bowtie and I are in full agreement on this. 🤩
I did have to stop it as it wouldn't advance after like 30+ minutes past can and the valve never popped up, so I stopped it, unplugged it waited for it to cool down, added more water to the line and restarted it. It worked perfectly the 2nd time. Cooling now. Thank you again. I subscribed to your page. I hope you get more subscribers to grow your channel.
@@kacydaniel4891 Thank you for the sub! I always set the liner with water on the counter where it is level to make sure the water is up to the line. I am probably too much of a scaredy cat to skimp on that water level and after hearing that I am glad I did it that way! 😉😉
Thank you so much for the step by step video! Received canner yesterday and after reading instructions, still felt a little intimidated. So this was perfect, step by step.
@@darlenemain4743 that will make a great start! We did lots of beans this year for the first time. Tomorrow I am recording my monthly garden tour and I have not been in the garden for over a week so I suspect we will have a lot of carrots to harvest! Can’t wait to see it, I’m gonna do my first looks on camera so we can all enjoy the surprises together! 😆
I’m a new subscriber and just bought the presto precise canner. I plan to get it out of the box this weekend. I’ve always been scared of a presser cooker/canner but excited to try this one.
I can fully relate. It scared me as well at one point. Just follow the directions step by step and it’s easy. Now I can pull it out and can up even small batches like I did with my pea harvest last week. It’s great! Thank you for watching and subscribing.
That sounds like a great recipe to start with! I looked it up in my Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. Is that the recipe you are using or do you have another? I am always looking for recommendations. Also, we'd love to hear how it goes for you! Be sure to go through the "Water Test" before first use. It helps to clear any residue that may remain from the manufacture process. It is on page 13 on my copy of the manual. Have a blessed day!
I don’t use the Ball Book recipe. I make mine the way my mom always made it. I use potatoes, carrots, and ham as the main ingredient along with the split peas. I can in pint jars for single serve portions for 75 minutes. I ran my canner through the cleaning and testing, today was the first actual food preservation with it. I felt compelled to baby sit during the process…lol. It went off without a hitch and I’m happy to have 8 wonderful pints for the pantry!
I am so excited for you! It was a year ago this month we were in the same place and have done so much with it since! Be sure to check out the complete playlist that has some more step by step videos to refer to on future projects!! ruclips.net/p/PLOjZMooTYyz_eguLO_j_8DyICElX1yg5o&si=nRE_vX9ZbhCWDsov
Thank you for watching! Hope it helps your decision making. We still like the machine. We generally do small batches here and did not need a huge pressure canner.
New subscriber, Thank you for this video I appreciate you taking the time to show us step-by-step on the pressure canner. I have been water bath canning for about a year now and just love putting up so many jars for over-winter use knowing I save money not having to go buy store brought items that contain chemicals so now onwards and upwards getting myself a pressure canner until then i will binge watch your videos.
Thank you for the tutorial. When opened the box the positioning tap for putting the seal on was popped off. As long as I do not obstruct the vent filter everything should work fine I believe. What do any of you think?
excellent video I have watch many and none of them talked about cleaning this beauty so HATS off to you..Thank You I will be watching your channel for more videos...excellent job
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the input! I will try to include good detail in the future. It is kind of in my obsessive compulsive nature to over detail most things. 😁
Hello I'm so glad I found your channel. I have Presto Digital in the garage I haven't used yet. You just inspired me Dave. Thank you very much. I want to try canning potatoes. I'm not to sure if I can.
Thanks for stopping by!! We absolutely love our digital pressure canner. It really fits our needs perfect! I have not done potatoes yet but hope one day to have enough from the garden to try! I can grow a few things, potatoes have not yet been successful for me. I’d love to hear how it goes!
My OCD husband took over my instant pot. It has the silicone clear thing around the lid too. He washes that silicone thing with warm soapy water every single time he uses it.😊
Hello! I love my Presto Canners! I have two, one of them the indicator volume is so low I'm not able to hear it. By chance would you know how that can be adjusted??????? Thanks in advance~
I would have no clue! I am not under the impression there is any way to make that change but I am not an electronics person. Did it come that way? Maybe Presto can help? I truly haven't the foggiest where to even start! It does appear their web site has a contact section for phone calls and online communications but also there looks like there is an on-line chat feature as well. www.gopresto.com/
I heard you say that if the lids do not seal, then eat them first. People be sure you refrigerate them do not put them on the shelf! so you can eat them first.
Very true! We had a couple not seal in our most recent canning video. Can’t remember if I said to refrigerate in that video either. I hope I did!! ruclips.net/video/D_i-qxJVn3Y/видео.html
Hey do you know y the pressure nipple wont pop up after its reached the 10 lb of pressure i wanted 40 minutes for it too pop so it would start the canning process for 40 minutes
I do not know why. On mine it takes a while to get to that point, 15 to 30 minutes I think. It sputters for a while before it finally does pop up. Of course, assuming the lid is in the locked position with the tab down and the green handle turned. Additionally, if the mechanism is not reassembled properly after cleaning it may not work, either. If it doesn't pop up ever when pressure canning (not Boiled water canning) you may need to contact the maker.
That is a really good question. I have not done any cold packing yet but you can bypass the jar warming stage when you want to cold pack. To bypass the jar warming I believe you would hold the next button for a few seconds. Does that help? Thanks for stopping by!
Off the top of my head I don’t know. I will look it up. It doesn’t feel like Teflon. On a brighter side in any successful canning the food would never come in contact with it. I will look it up in the morning, though. It is a good question.
Reason I asked is because I am starting out canning and want an electric one. I have tropical parrots and when Teflon is over heated it gives off gases in the air that is Toxic to Tropical parrots. I am not sure what the highest temperature this gets to with the Presto canner. Thank you for your quick reply and I look forward to if you can find the answer. I have subscribed to your channel as I love how you are so thorough with your Tutorials. I look forward to learning the canning procedures. @@bowtielife
I wish you could tell me how to remove the regulator. It’s been sitting brand new out of the box for hours and It’s can’t get the regulator off as it was attached on delivery.
Success!!!! Thank you so much! I’m from UK and it was weeks before it arrived, even though then customs and excise had to crawl all over it . I had nightmares I’d have to send it back as faulty. Thank you so much you lovely lovely man xxx
@@Katya-zj7ni that is so exciting! I can relate to the delay. Ours sat under the Christmas tree for a couple weeks and when we opened it discovered that the product had been crushed on the side. The Shipping box did not show the damage but the product box inside sure did. We had to send it back and get a new one from another Amazon dealer that really came through for us thankfully! Ultimately it was a five week ordeal.
So, are you already canning with a more traditional canner? We have a small garden (not a farm) and only ever do smaller batches. If I had a larger place (and canner) this might feel like a step backwards. Additionally, we do not have plans to can meat or meat products like broth.
@marlenegrimes8925 I'm so happy it worked! I remember how nervous I was pulling that thing off the first time. Especially, i thank you for letting me know it worked!
Also make sure to remember that the exterior of the interior pot should be completely dry. You do not want water to be in contact with the heating element.
My presto broke! The L shaped tab on the inside of the lid popped off due to the wheel in the top catching on it and popping it off. I had no idea that the presto could not can properly without that piece. I called presto and gave them my serial numbers and address and they are sending me out another lid within 5-7 days. Oh the withdrawals I am going to be having 😂😛
You are the second person in as many weeks that has commented that this tab came off!! That is weird! You definitely did the right thing contacting the manufacturer for a replacement. I’ve always heard they are real good about that. It is good to see first hand reporting that they have taken care of this. Great to hear CAGal!! Thank you!😊
They said it was a fault on their part. The wheel in the top that the rubber seal fits on the spokes are too close together so in the newer models they have removed another spoke so the bracket that popped off will have enough space if the wheel turns too close to it. Hope that makes sense. Yes I am thrilled they are sending me another top. Great customer service for sure! You definitely cannot use the canner with that bracket missing, the canner will not function properly.

Hey do you know y the pressure nipple wont pop up after its reached the 10 lb of pressure i wanted 40 minutes for it too pop so it would start the canning process for 40 minutes
I do not know why. On mine it takes a while to get to that point, 15 to 30 minutes I think. It sputters for a while before it finally does pop up. Of course, assuming the lid is in the locked position with the tab down and the green handle turned.
Additionally, if the mechanism is not reassembled properly after cleaning it may not work, either.

It is hard to pull off the first time but it does pop off by simply pulling it upwards. It is held by a tension spring that is pretty stiff at first.

I had no idea that the presto could not can properly without that piece. I called presto and gave them my serial numbers and address and they are sending me out another lid within 5-7 days. Oh the withdrawals I am going to be having 😂😛
You are the second person in as many weeks that has commented that this tab came off!! That is weird! You definitely did the right thing contacting the manufacturer for a replacement. I’ve always heard they are real good about that. It is good to see first hand reporting that they have taken care of this. Great to hear CAGal!! Thank you!😊
They said it was a fault on their part. The wheel in the top that the rubber seal fits on the spokes are too close together so in the newer models they have removed another spoke so the bracket that popped off will have enough space if the wheel turns too close to it. Hope that makes sense. Yes I am thrilled they are sending me another top. Great customer service for sure! You definitely cannot use the canner with that bracket missing, the canner will not function properly.
@@Cagal08 well, this is all great to hear! Thank you for the report! 🤔
Great job! Very helpful
