Review on 🌑️ Presto 85-729 Pressure Canner Steam Gauge: Accurate and Reliable Pressure Monitoring by Troy Rotermund

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The manometer may have helped prevent botulism.

I drilled a 1/2" hole in the top of the plate. socket installed. Screw the pressure gauge into the socket. Good work. Have found that my 15# weight only gives me 12-13lbs of push. (at 7300 feet). After adding the gauge I had to add about 1 1/2 inch of copper tubing to the weight. This gave me a print of 16#. The extra weight also gave me a more stable print. It was not possible to reach a temperature of 240 degrees with a weight of 12 to 13 pounds. That's my thought.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
