What To Look For In A Pressure Cooker And Pressure Canner

 

* Aluminum Vs. Steel: The former heats up well and costs less, but steel will last longer.

* Size: All pressure cookers need extra space for steam to build up, which you should factor into your decision.

* Pressure regulator: Different cookers have different ways of indicating the current pressure and keeping the pressure within a certain range.

* Safety: Pressure can be dangerous, so it’s wise to choose a cooker/canner with inbuilt protection.

* Warranty: It’s recommended to look for a 10 year+ warranty.

* Cooking Rack: Choosing cookers with a cooking rack will allow you to cook things above the water.

* Handles: Larger pressure cookers will need handles on both sides to help you move them easily.
