Carey (Nesco) Electric Smart Pressure Canner Unboxing and Testing

*UPDATE* - The Carey Smart Canner has now been rebranded by the parent company as the "Nesco Smart Canner" and has all the same functionality.

Pressure canning is made easy with Carey's smart canner. Can under pressure and water bath can too! Take the guesswork and babysitting out of pressure canning and preserve your harvest.

What is the reason for using only wide mouth canning jars? I have lots of the regular size jars, and new canning jars are expensive!

[susandrwiega]

Directions said to do an initial test before using but didn't say how to do it. Is it four or eight cups of water in pot for pressure canning.

[eyeonart]

We need stainless steel inner pot to cook in. I would not pressure cook in a coated inner pot.

Music to loud, can’t hear you very good!

[jflew]

Can you can soups? Chili? Ham and bean soup?? Or is it only limited to vegetables and fruits?

[Addie]

Chef Austin is adorable, best hair in the game!

Just ordered one and can't wait to use it! I plan to be a canning fool this weekend!

[judyskiles]

When using this how do I know when to use the high or low when canning, and do I set it to exhaust for 10 minutes then change it over to airtight? With 8 cups of water??

This Chard / Richard Carey / Nesco pressure canner is amazing. I completely understand why you did not go into the nuances of canning cause it can be quite subjective to what you're canning. I've had a lot of success canning my personal bean soup recipe and quite a few meats.
I've also made a lot of meals with this device and I don't miss my instant pot anymore since it died.

Can you please do a video on pressure frying with this appliance? I'm asking because I've heard of people frying a whole turkey in this appliance but they don't elaborate how.

Just purchased a few days ago, very informative video, thank you

[kamicrum]

Thank you very helpful& i helped me mak up my mind Yes! The carey electric oressure canner will wirk fir my needs,

[OmniClimHazard]

I thought the green and black release valves were to switch between 10 or 15psi? I really hope this canner can do 15psi cause I just bought one..

[johnrocks]

Is the NESCO canner the same as the CAREY? Do you have to use widemouth jars? Do you include a recipe book? Could you please turn off the irritating music so I can concentrate on what you're saying? Thanks

[djl]

Thank you, I somehow took the lid off of my new Nesco pressure canner and couldn't get it back on properly, you are the only one I found who actually demonstrated taking the lid on and off, I think the manual that came with my canner is useless to me :)

[josephpicardi]

When using the slow cooker function is it assumed that the Carey Smart Canner "slow cooks" at an ordinary slow cooker's "high" setting, as is the case with the pressure cooking function! Thanks

u need to do a trouble shooting video on this product

[fayebarnett]

have a new carey. dial does no line up with the position indicated. not sealing jars. I know I am doing it right. any suggestions.

[carolr]

Thank you for this demo. I'm very new to canning (and my Nesco is brand new); I've only done peaches and peach jam so far, water bath, obviously. The instructions in the manual say to open the lid when the machine turns off (and the boiling stops). However, it takes a few more minutes for the pin to drop; until that happens, the lid is locked. Is that right, or am I misunderstanding something? Also, why does the machine beep 3 times in the middle of canning? I can't find anything about that in the manual.

When would you use the low button as aposed to the high button

[joellespice]

I just purchased the Nesco digital pressure canner. I like your unboxing video. Using a turn table is such a cool idea! I have watched a lot of videos but I learnt from yours. Thank you!
