Meet the Presto Pressure Cooker Canning Rack — a sturdy aluminum accessory built to elevate jars and optimize heat and steam circulation during pressure canning. This 1-pack rack measures 6.75 inches across, designed to sit securely in your pressure cooker so you can process jars evenly without jar rims touching the bottom of the pot.
Why this matters: elevation matters in canning. By lifting jars off the bottom, the rack allows hot water and steam to circulate freely around every jar, helping to ensure safe processing and even heat distribution for reliably preserved foods. The aluminum construction provides a lightweight yet durable solution that resists warping and stands up to repeated canning sessions.
