NESCO 9.5 Quart Stainless Steel Smart Pressure Canner and Cooker - NPC-9

R. Ray: I've pressure cooked a pork roast, water bathed salsa, and made beans, chili, stock and many other things with the pressure canning function. Awesome product! I've done all that and I've had it for less than a month and I'm a brand new canner.

M. Wench: Been pressure canning since last year. I have a stove top one with a guage. It is a pain in the butt to keep the water poundage pressure consistent. SO, I didn't like to pressure can. Then I read up on this gadget. It has been a game changer. So much easier and a lot less babysitting than my stove top canner. Only downside is it only holds 4 quarts or pints at a time, whereas my stove top one could hold 6 to 8. The trade off is worth it, as this pressure canner is stress free. I love this canner so much, I ordered a second one, so I can can twice as much. It will be nice to have a shelf life supply of food items in the upcoming winter months ahead.

Edit: I am able to get 5 pints in each of my canners. ( canning 5 in each of them now. )

PFITZ: I can't say enough about this smart canner. It is amazing. I have used it non stop since I bought it a few months ago. It is so easy to use and having the option to pressure can has allowed me to preserve so much more food for winter. Before I bought it I had seen videos on You Tube where people have several of these canners. I can understand why they do. If I had space to store a second one I would probably buy another.

Knitting Diva: I love this canner. Easy to use and "almost" idiot proof for those that have never canned.
However, the description needs to be corrected. Amazon says the canner hold 9 quarts - no it does not. Purchasers need to know this up front. It's great for canning "small" batches. You will need 2 canners to can 7-8 quarts at one time. It can only hold 4 quarts at one time. It can hold 9 1/2 pints. Guess whoever wrote the description has no idea how the item works and its capacity.

Celestial Seeker: What a wonderful, easy and safe to use a pressure cooker/canner.
I was always terrified on the idea of pressure canning after hearing horror stories and knowing that my mother never owned one of these machines. My young daughter in law bought the NESCO NPC-9 Smart Electric Pressure Cooker and Canner, 9.5 Quart, Stainless Steel and raved how crazy easy it was to use and for her pressure canning projects.
My first attempt at canning marina sauce was a success ! Yay.. I wish I had this canner/cooker years ago.
The easiest and safest way to properly pressure can your garden produce without any muss or fuss. Very clear and precise instructions are included with the pressure cooker. Your electric pressure cooker has instruction settings for slow cooking, browning/saute, steam water bath for canning jelly, sauces, etc.... Very good machine. Glad I purchased this gem.

Cliff Johnson: This canner works really well for its intended purpose. However, the user interface could use improvement. It requires close supervision, and if you leave it sitting a little too long after it completes part of a cycle before moving to the next, it will reset and you have to start over again, possibly resulting in over-cooking.
Also, it is fairly intolerant of button push errors when running and that can also lead to the need to restart a cycle.
For its core functions, it heats up well and holds pressure as it should. The lid seal holds tight. There is an integrated drip catcher as well for when opening the lid. The unit is easy to clean and there is quite a lot you can do with it besides just pressure canning. It can be used as a large version of a slow cooker (similar to other brands of cooker) and it can do browning. If they improved the controls a little it would bump up to 5 stars.

MargiMargi: I have had this canner in my cart for two years, and finally bought it on clearance and I LOVE it! I grew up in the 60's and my mom used her pressure canner a few times a month. I "hated" those days as she had instilled in my siblings and I a fear that if we weren't very careful when walking through the kitchen it would explode, causing great harm...or death. ( I may be exaggerating the death remark, but honestly not sure).
She was not a canner, but would cook roasts and other meals in it.

I started canning shortly after we were married with a water bath canner. Eventually I wanted to do beans which said they needed to be pressure canned, so I bought one. The childlike fear had not disappeared when I would hear the weight jiggling, so my husband would do that canning. My microwave is above my stove so it can't be used while using the pressure canner. Also, I am short, 5'3", so it was hard, and heavy for me to lift or fill the canner. Also the lid was very heavy.
I had read many reviews on the different brands of electric pressure canners, as well as watched numerous videos. This canner was given the best reviews, so I took the plunge, and am...
