Top-rated Presto Canner Pressure Regulator - Pack of 1, Silver – Enhance Your Canning Experience! Review

I have no idea how I canned without it! It's hard for me to say that something has made my life infinitely easier, but this regulator has. It comes with 2 detachable rings that allow you to adjust the pressure. The lack of rings keeps the tin can at 5 psi. One ring holds it at 10 pounds and both rings hold it at 15 pounds. Before that I had to check the tin can every 2-3 minutes and constantly adjust the temperature to keep the pressure stable. Thanks to this I can apply pressure, lower the…

I have one of those large (23 litre) Presto pressure cookers. The regulator was only good to prevent an explosion. I'd have to constantly monitor it and adjust the heat up or down to maintain a certain pressure. Presto had a similar one so I checked to see if it was possible. Only thing they said is if there is a difference use a counter. I can stuff 15 pounds in it. I put this on and when the heat was too intense it released enough vapor to support a weight of just over 15 pounds. That way I…

I have a 23 quart Presto Preserves Pot and the manual says this is the part I need when I want a weight instead of a gauge. As a newbie to canning, I had no idea what it all meant, but I figured it out quickly and I'm so glad I bought it. To simplify the explanation as much as possible, when I look at the pressure gauge, it's like looking at a pot of boiling water with a thermometer in front of me, and I'm trying to keep that arrow on the dial at a certain temperature. Tightening is like using…

I am able to produce hundreds of cans a year and also teach a few courses and have been using this sensor for about a year as an alternative to dial gauge testing as my local expansion offices no longer offer this service. I have a #01781 Presto 23-Quart Gauge Autoclave (Presto 01781 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker) that only comes with a 15 lb canister. One piece regulator if you buy it new. I spoke to one of the Presto economists this morning and she confirmed that you *can* safely use…
