If OP is using a 23qt presto, and it looks like he is, 1100 watts is plenty. AAs are much thicker and will take longer to heat up, but 1100 watts will do a presto with no problem.

Its a 16 quart Presto. I saw the 2 versions on Amazon, both with the same quart jar capacity, both for about 70. Found the 16qt at Walmart for 10 bucks cheaper though, so I went with that one.

I also have a Walmart special, a Presto. I used mine this spring and had to clean out that piece for it to seal. There was a bit of plastic in it.

Definitely. I started with a shitty portable burner cause I worked for a carnival and didn't have a kitchen, it took forever to heat up the small pc I had.
Glad you figured out your problem. I'm guessing you don't have a stove either?
