An electric canner plugs into the wall, preheats the jars, vents, holds the processing temperature and counts down the time, so there is no burner to adjust. The cost is price and a one-year warranty, against 12 years on Presto’s stovetop canners. Electric canners are also the smallest, since the tallest holds seven quarts.
