Electric Canner Recs
Hi rebel canners.
This past weekend I had scary event using my stovetop water bath canner. The large canner on the ultra heat burner caused incomplete combustion, leading my CO detector to go off. After a visit from the FD a,d gas company, the gas tech found that the source was the canner over the gas burner. This was on a regular burner, as I had moved it off of the ultra burner when done canning. He got a reading of 300 ppm from that setup. So, for a while, I was getting a good dose of CO while on the kitchen, which led to a good dose of O2 from the fire dept.
I have used this setup several times with no issues, but needless to say, this one incident has me thinking of going electric. I did a search in the forum and saw posts about the Presto electric pressure canners. Are there any other reputable brands you use?
Thanks for any input, I obviously couldn’t ask this on another canning subreddit. 😉
