Product Description

Amazon.com Overview
This heavy-duty pressure cooker's large capacity is quite possibly most effective utilized for canning (even though it would also be wonderful for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is usually recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, because the high heat that can be generated will kill far more bacteria than a frequent hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker needs no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 21-1/2-quart capacity holds 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A 3-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge offers a clear reading. Created in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis
Heavy Cast Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner

Client Reviews

This is a really high top quality, heavy weight canner. It practically screams, "Industrial strength!" The slide clips and screw-downs securely fasten the lid to the pot. No blow-outs with this baby. The weighted pressure gauge makes operation practically foolproof. And no gasket needed! Ahead of getting a canner, I did a lot of reading in the rec.food.preserving news group. I saw endless inquiries about sources for gaskets for canners ranging from a handful of years old to a large number of decades old. It was clear some of these people today had spent several, a large number of hours in search of a gasket. Avoiding the desire for a gasket became a key criteria for my buy.
I've had my canner for a couple years and am nonetheless impressed with the high quality. There are only two negatives I can consider of. The heavy weight of the canner is a plus for strength and longevity, but it can work against you. The canner weighs 20 pounds when it's empty. Unless you operate out regluarly, you are not going to fill the canner on the counter and then carry it to the stove. The other potential negative is the height. This canner needs at least a 16 inch clearance over your range. If your range has an upper oven the canner might not fit.

send me the funds and I'll throw it away for you. I received my Grandmother's when she passed away and have alot more that pleased with it. I cannot add anything the other critiques other that mine is more than 30 year old it is in great shape. I've been told that my Grandmother sent 1000's of cans via this in her day and I intend to do the very same. The company's internet internet site is rather beneficial if you require replacement parts but I doubt you'll ever will need them. I had my neighborhood Ag extension agent test my gauge (the original) and it is nonetheless correct enough for canning. This is the only portion that should really ever honestly need replacing since it does not have a seal. I am fortunate sufficient to have the old school Instruction and Recipes book (list price ¢60) that has canning recipes that I have not been able to get anywhere else. Buy this and pass it on to your grandchildren!
