The Barton 22-Quart Pressure Canner is an excellent addition to your kitchen if you are serious about home canning. This versatile pressure cooker not only allows you to easily preserve vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, but it also doubles as a steam canner for fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and salsa. With its robust design and user-friendly features, you can feel more confident in your canning endeavors.
Purchased this for canning this fall. Was a bit nervous ordering it not knowing the quality of it. It is heavy duty great quality. It was on sale when I ordered it happy that I took the chance when I did to save a few dollars.
I love love love this pressure cooker!!! I use mine every summer when we do our garden. It was perfect for what I needed. Easy to use as well since this was my first time using one for canning.
It’s good but to big for house
UPDATE: I've been using this PC for several years now with no issues. I finally splurged for a legit weight that would get me to 15 PSI without needing to make a modification to the original hardware. Right away I noticed that the "legit" 25 PSI weight felt lighter. After weighing both I determined that the original weight was in fact HEAVIER than the "legit" weight built to reach15 psi. My educational guess is that the included weight will reach 15 PSI but the pressure gauge could potentially be incorrect.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this PC for mycology purposes. The large capacity is great and I've been using it on my induction burner, no problem. This would be a 5 star product if it could reach 15psi out of the box. Fortunately the pressure guage appears to be accurate and I managed to resolve my problem with some magnets and bottle caps. You can spend an extra $25 on a 5-10-15psi weight but I chose be frugal. I've been using this product/method for about a year now with zero contam in grain or agar and zero issues. I hope this helps you.
This pressure cooker states that it can reach the same pressure levels as other “higher priced” cookers on the market. Electric pressure cookers are unable to get above 12 PSI. So I returned the electric one I had with intention on buying one I could reach 15 PSI with. Videos attached. (That’s over 75 minutes in), the VERY MAXIMUM PSI this cooked will reach is just below 12 PSI, not suitable for what I need it for). I need 15 PSI, on top of that the thing is made in China with low quality materials/poor craftsmanship. I had a great deal of fear while using the cooked, as it on top of everything else actually displaced (thankfully) but still displaced wares out of the top which should not be possible. The instructions were pathetic (when your using something as serious as a pressure cooker safety is a primary concern). Thankfully videos posted online helped me navigate safe usage with it. Purchased it & east able to use it for well over 3 months since I bought it/hung out in the closet for a while, so now I own a “generic”, dangerous, low quality, legitimately scary to use device in which I’m unable to return. That BY NO STANDARDS-gas, electric, etc. will come near anything over 11.5 lbs. which is 3.5/4lbs shy of what I need it for. What a ridiculous waste trying to to be “thrifty” and save a bit…. This is one item I’d suggest you go ahead and spend the extra money to buy the real deal. Not some China made trash, that will not top 11 PSI. (And I assure you the not topping 11 PSI with this 🗑 does not make you feel safer in any sense of them imagination)! Will give to friend/family member who needs a large boiling pot as this is not capable of canning at correct/safe PSI. Mycology friends, stay away from this pressure cooker like the plague as this will invite contaminants into all of the jars & bags you will make with this. 😠😕
I absolutely love this pressure cooker! So easy to reach 11 psi if used correctly
I have wanted to learn how to can for a long time. I finally went to learn from an expert. The American is what all the best canners use but I couldn't come up with $400 to start this hobby. I looked over all the less expensive choices and took a chance. Using this pot has been a breeze. I love everything about it from start to finish. The lid locks on nicely and easily. The symbols on the lid and handle are like "locking for dummies." That helped my confidence in using a pressure pot. Then it heats up. Hmmm, when to add the weight? No second guessing here. The pot has a secondary little vent near the handle that pops closed when it is time to put the weight on the spout. The gauge has markings for where to have the needle for both pressure canning and water bath. I have done both now and can't wait to make something else. I have already made fresh corn relish, mango salsa, regular salsa, beef and potatoes, chicken stew, and bourbon bacon jam. This is amazing. I thought this would be my "starter pot" but it's now my right hand in the kitchen. Love it!
