Presto Pressure Canner

I bought the 22qt presto pressure canner several years ago to properly can venison. I now use it for so much more.

I do can some vegetables but use it more for homemade chicken broth from our own chickens, then chicken soup, and also dark broth(made from deer meat).

I love having all the goodies on hand for the winter, people laugh and say I could survive for weeks if not months on my stock.

The presto canner has never given me a problem and I have never been concerned with it's safety. Once in a while the large seal is not quite in place, noticed when the pressure doesn't build up, quickly corrected by taking off the cover then back on.

We need to continue the trend that we all got away from, use our local farmers, eat local, and stop eating out of boxes.
