MANITOWOC, Wis. - Sept. 17, 2019 -Take the guesswork out of canning with a smart pressure canner

Preserving great-tasting homegrown food was once a matter of necessity, today it is more about carrying on family traditions. Thanks to a vacuum food sealer and a smart pressure canner by NESCO, it's never been easier.

Despite Grandma's best instructions for canning fruits, vegetables, jams, pickles and salsas, there are some significant safety concerns if canning is not done properly.

The NESCO Smart Canner & Cooker seeks to take the guesswork out of the canning process. It creates a balance between safety, performance and versatility and allows you to easily carry on your family traditions without worry.

Smart pressure canner makes canning easier

Vegetables like green beans, carrots and beets require pressure canning in order to reach the high temperatures that are needed to kill bacteria. Tomatoes, pickles and fruits can be done in a water bath canner as long as the acidity level in the foods is high enough.

Traditional canning equipment leaves timing the process and monitoring the pressure in the canner up to the individual user. Not only can that be difficult to maintain consistently it can also be dangerous - with the potential to create pockets for bacteria that can either make people sick or spoil your foods.

The NESCO Smart Canner takes the guesswork out of the canning process by automatically maintaining a steady pressure and temperature for the designated length of time to not only sterilize your equipment, but also effectively and safely preserve your food.

Additionally, NESCO makes it even easier to can worry-free, because it comes with two different exhaust weights to maintain a consistent pressure at various altitudes. Use the black exhaust weight for altitudes lower than 1,000 feet above sea level, and the green for higher than 1,000 feet above sea level.

The canner has a removable dishwasher-safe cooking pot that can process four wide-mouth jars, five pint jars or 16 jam jars at one time. The smart pressure canner is also versatile. It can also be used as a slow-cooker, a vegetable steamer or a rice cooker for easy, healthy, delicious meals.
