this is not a canning pressure cooker! I purchased the Presto 16 qt pressure canner for canning. I believe you can purchase it here on Amazon! Do not buy the Deni it is a dangerous piece of junk

This video shows this pressure cooker being used to can green beans. It does have some limitations. Read the comments below the video. http://youtu.be/yj9wjbEWYpI

Yes, I think you could put veggies in with a turkey. This cooker is very impressive. I was leary about it at first but the turkey breast I did was awesome.

I use an electric rice cooker, Rice Select with water or chicken broth. I haven't tried mixing in vegetables before cooking, but I do sometimes heat them in the steamer basket on the top of the rice cooker.

I'm sorry I do not know, the only pressure cooker I have is the Instant Pot.

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

15 psi is not the standard, it is 10 psi. But this cooker will not sustain 10 psi for the length of time required to pressure can, so no, NO electric pressure cooker should be used for pressure canning. Electric PCs cycle, that is turn on when reaching max pressure then shutting off until a much lower pressure (usually 8 psi) before turning on again. With this much oscillation you can not safely know the contents are sterilized enough to prevent botulism growth. Not only that but with the cycling you get boiling of the canning jars contents which means it will boil out of the jars contaminating the lids and not seal. 15 psi is not the standard, it is 10 psi.

yes you can use a steamer basket, so long as it isn't so tall that when you put the produce on top the vegetables block the valve on top. I have a silicone basket that I use and it works fine. I let the liquid come to a boil before I put the basket in and you can find charts online that will give you approximate times for different vegetables. Check out hip pressure cooking.com.

it's a nice piece of equipment for use in a pressure cooker. can cook several different dishes at once.

If the only thing you want to do is steam veggies, it may not be the best appliance. I use it as a pressure cooker for beans, a rice/grain cooker, a soup pot (great because you can saute right in the pot before you put in water or stock) and a slow cooker. I really love this appliance and use it regularly. That being said, I usually steam my veggies on the stove top in a stainless steamer pot.

I think it could, but you will not get much in the pot. It's only six quarts. Most canning pressure cookers are upwards of 20 quarts.

The short answer is yes you can. Here is a link for you to view the owners manual. The information that you are looking for is on page 10. http://fantes.com/manuals/all-american-pressure-cooker-manual.pdf

Yes! I have an 8 qt Wolfgang Puck electric pressure cooker and it works just like it had been original equipment. Wonderful for steaming but I also put a 7 cup Pyrex bowl in it to make tapioca pudding and use a 7 in spring form pan in it and make cheesecakes. Holds everything out of the water and away from the sides of the cooker. Highly recommended!

Hi Monica...I did not notice that it is not the electric pressure cooker...the ring is for the electric one. More then likely not the same.

Yes, the recipe comes together with the user's manual. But you can also download a digital version from Nesco's website at:http://www.nesco.com/products/Kitchen-Appliances/Electric-Pressure-Cookers/4-Liter-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-4-functions-in-One-Unit/session_20fda222b9da/Hope this helps.

The National Center for Home Food Preservation does not recommend canning in electric pressure cookers for a variety of reasons. http://preservingfoodathome.com/2014/11/25/can-i-can-in-a-multi-cooker/

Sorry, I do not know. I used it only with a normal electric cooking plate. I cannot image anymore to prepare meal without Pressure Cooker.The description mentions the possibility to use induction stoves ("Suitable for all stovetops, including induction; 10-year limited warranty; dishwasher-safe except for pressure lid".
