pressure canner
High-heat sterilizing pot
A pressure canner is a large, heavy pot with a locking lid and pressure gauge, used for home preservation of low-acid foods like vegetables, meats, and beans.
Unlike water-bath canners, pressure canners reach temperatures above boiling—necessary to destroy botulism spores: You need a pressure canner for green beans, not just a regular pot.
