Description
Perfect for mycology and sterilisation – the Presto 01784 induction-compatible pressure cooker/pressure canner, made in the USA.Can hold up to 9 x 1Kg bags, though to ensure good steam circulation it is better to only load with 8 x 1Kg bags.
Presto are well known for making high quality pressure cookers / pressure canners. The Presto 01784 23-Quart induction compatible model is a variant of their standard model and is aimed at those using induction hobs – a much more efficient heat source than gas or plain electric. That said, this consumer pressure canner can be used not only on induction ranges but also gas, electric, and smooth-top stoves. Versatile and reliable for all your canning needs.
Perfect for mycology – mushroom growers. Unlike most consumer units sold in the UK the Presto 01784 achieves 15psi, the perfect temperature for sterilising grain, for example, and is complete with a pressure gauge for accuracy. Crafted from heavy-gauge aluminum with an induction-compatible stainless steel-clad base, ensuring quick and even heating. However, as with all induction-compatible pressure cookers, it is essential that users follow manufacturers instructions on usage.
Safety Features – The Presto 01784 air vent/cover lock ensures pressure builds only when the cover is properly closed and prevents opening until the pressure is safely reduced, thus making your canning or sterilisation process is secure and easy to manage. It also functions as a large-capacity pressure cooker for everyday meals. A 12 month manufacturer warranty applies but it should be noted that this may require the unit to be returned to the USA.
