NESCO® 9.5 Quart Electric Pressure Canner, Digital Pressure Cooker and Canning Pot, Equipment for Canning Meat and Vegetables

Have not used it yet but was so pleased to read about all the extra functions instructions seem easy enough to understand looking forward to giving this a go… was also pleased that a same rated extension cord could be used as I have limited counter space in my apartment

Great for small batch canning! Quieter than my old stove top pot (not that we are throwing old faithful out!) we can sometimes for preservation, but mostly to make weeknights easier to put home cooked food on the table. I can start it while I cook dinner and it's set and forget. By bedtime the pressure is down, the jars are out, and it was all easy.

Works incredible! Bought a home with a glass top stove and am unable to use my OG canner. I CANT can as many jars but it is definitely easier and honestly more efficient so it makes up for the jar count very very satisfied with this product. Highly recommend.

First time canner here. This canner takes the fear out of the process. I grew up watching my mom and other relatives can food and it was scary to always think those old type gauges could blow up! This unit does have a slight learning curve but everything has one of some kind. It is ideal for a one or two person household. It is a small batch canner so know that when purchasing. That is also a great thing in my case. I have fallen in love with food preservation by canning because of this appliance.

This small electric pressure canner is PERFECT for canning a few jars of "I made too much for dinner"! I have canned soups, stews, meat, pulled pork, shredded chicken, spaghetti sauce with meat and lots more. I threw in a whole frozen beef roast and had dinner in less than 2 hours. It is amazing!!

i am very excited to add this to my pressure canner family. the size i bought does small batch which is perfect for some projects. i used it 2x in a week and my electric bill went up $2.38. that is a better deal for me currently vs my natural gas stove bill. if you have the means to add this one i would.

I have an instapot and the exhaust/air tight button slides easily into place. There is no worry that you have it where you want it. With this canner, that is not the case. You have to gently finesse it DIRECTLY over the exhaust part for it to come to temperature correctly. You can't just have it near the exhaust, it has to be sitting on it and sometimes it will fall out of place if you don't do it correctly. If it isn't exactly where it should be, it will be all loosey goosey and will try to almost instantly countdown as if you were canning, even when it isn't ready. If you get this canner, you'll know exactly what I mean. It works great--it is easy to use--I just wish the knob/valve clicked into place better so you'll know you have it correct. Otherwise, fantastic canner.

this pressure canner is very intimidating and vonfusing to use...with all that pressure it takes to kill bacteria for shelf storage and the extreme dangerous hot steam thatvcomes out whe itsctime tonopen it after designated time cycly gors off. I think with any pressure cooking and canning it takes time to get used to following the exact instructions which the manual is not a good helphul item they provide in box..i would never buy it if I knew wha I know now that I used it 2 times..had to g on line to get help on my fitst canning of carrots....very scary

Worked the first two times I used it as it is supposed to. After that, it would no longer do the E10 countdown as it would get too hot and build pressure too fast. I did contact customer support through NESCO and they are sending me a new unit as they believe it is defective.

Not a real pressure canner. After reading instructions you cannot can low acid food such as meats, green beans etc . Says pressure canner but really only water bath food. Not safe for pressure canning non acidic foods. Very disappointing as it was bought for a gift.
