Pressure Canner and Accessories

Presto pressure canners · Australia's official importer

Pressure canning is the only safe method for preserving low-acid foods at home — meat, poultry, seafood, beans, and most vegetables. Unlike water bath canning, a pressure canner reaches 116°C, the temperature required to destroy Clostridium botulinum and its spores. If you're serious about home food preservation, a pressure canner is the most important piece of equipment you'll own.

Ball Mason Australia is the authorised Australian importer of Presto pressure canners — manufactured in the USA since 1905 and trusted by home preservers worldwide. We carry the complete Presto range along with genuine replacement parts, all stocked and dispatched from our warehouse in Kempsey, NSW.

Low-acid foods (vegetables, meat, legumes) need a pressure canner. High-acid foods (jams, pickles, tomatoes) only need a water bath and standard jars. Questions about the Presto range? Call us on (02) 5504 0002 — we've been importing and supporting Presto canners in Australia for over 13 years.
