Overview

The Presto 85707 11-inch Pressure Canner Rack is designed to work with Presto cookers and canners, helping you manage jars with more control during the canning process. This rack positions jars above the bottom of the unit, reducing direct contact with the surface and giving you a steadier, more organized setup. For reference, Model 85707 fits 16- and 22-quart canners, while related models cover smaller capacities (Model 85341 for 2.5 and 4 quart canners; Model 85360 for 6 and 8 quart canners).

Imagine a batch of jars arranged in a neat pattern, each one resting on a small elevation, steam curling around the glass and lids as the chamber heats. The goal is simple: provide space between jars and the pot floor to support even heat distribution and a more predictable canning experience without soaking jars in the cooking liquid.

What the rack does for your canning routine

• Keeps jars elevated above the bottom, reducing direct contact with the pot surface
• Helps limit intermingling of flavors by preventing jars from sitting directly in the liquid
• Supports even heat and steam circulation for consistent processing
• Designed to fit Presto canners in the 16- to 22-quart range, with companion racks for other sizes

Using the rack is straightforward: place it inside your canner before loading jars, arrange jars on the rack, and add water to the appropriate level. After processing, lift the rack with jars using tongs or a jar lifter to keep your hands safe and jars stable. The result is a tidy, organized setup that helps you manage multiple jars more confidently during the canning cycle.

Real-world benefits you might notice include easier jar handling, clearer liquid separation between batches, and a feel of steadiness as you work through a full canning load. The rack contributes to a calm workflow by reducing the need to tilt or jockey jars during the process, especially when you’re preparing several flavors at once.
