Hey Everybody!
My Nesco electric smart pressure canner is a game-changer for home canning. I recently put it to the test while preserving my homemade pizza/pasta sauce, and it exceeded my expectations.
Let me take you through it step by step. First off, I wanted you to see the inside of this Nesco canner. It’s not just a smart pressure canner; you can also use it as a steamer, water bath canner, slow cooker, or even to brown stuff. The versatility is impressive. I’m not much into using it as an insta pot, but the pressure canning and water bath canning features caught my attention.
One of the reasons I got the Nesco canner was to streamline my canning process. With my stovetop canner, I often ended up having to do the whole process twice because of limited jar space. The Nesco allows me to have both the pressure canner and water bath canner going at the same time, making it a one-and-done deal. A real time-saver.
Especially during garden season, working with smaller batches makes things easier. The Nesco provides that flexibility. Plus, thinking ahead, when I won’t need to preserve large quantities, it’s perfect for smaller portions. It got me thinking about the health benefits too. As my family size changes, I can still preserve for my kids without the need for excessive quantities.
What caught my eye in the research phase was the Nesco’s altitude adjustment feature. If you live at a higher altitude, this canner has a weight that ensures the right pressure for sealing, which is crucial. Even though I don’t necessarily need it for my location, it adds an extra layer of comfort.
Now, there were other options out there, but the Presto stovetop canner, although good, had a higher price tag. In my research, the Nesco came out on top, offering reliable results. Affordability matters, and if it does the job well, it’s a win-win.
Using it for the first time, there was a bit of steam, as expected. I have a massive vent hood that took care of it, but it’s worth mentioning. If you’re concerned about steam, placing it near a window is a smart move. I might try that next time.
In conclusion, the Nesco Electric Smart Pressure Canner made my canning process enjoyable. It’s user-friendly, efficient, and suits my needs perfectly. If you’re into home canning or thinking about starting, this could be a fantastic addition to your kitchen.
