Post by: DennyK on September 09, 2016, 01:09:00 PM
I want to try my hand at canning venison this fall. I'm kinda stuck as to which type of pressure cooker to get, stovetop or electric. Could you kind folks give me some direction to the pros and cons of each it would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Both electric and stovetop burner models have pros and cons.  And, they range in price from $40 to over $200.  All of the modern versions are waaaaayy safer than your grandma's.  No more explosions throwing food allover the kitchen.  You can log onto  www.cooksillustrated.com (http://www.cooksillustrated.com)  for a free 2 week trial and look at their reviews.

Did you get that 16qt? Not sure it's big enough to do canning. They will be labeled as "pressure canner" if they can handle several quart jars at a time.
