This heavy-duty pressure cooker's huge capacity is quite possibly perfect utilized for canning (even though it would also be awesome for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is usually recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, due to the fact the high heat that can be generated will kill extra bacteria than a common hot water bath. Created from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker calls for no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 15-1/2-quart capacity holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading. Created in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis

Consumer Reviews

When I very first ordered this canner, I wasn't sure if I would be able to sustain a steady pressure with my "pulsating" flat-top stove. With the thick aluminum walls, I have no difficulties at all. In fact, with such thick walls, I can put the burner on "high" and it will slowly build up pressure so I don't have to stand more than the stove and constantly monitor as the pressure increases. As soon as at pressure, it is extremely uncomplicated to retain the needed pressure with no having to continuously vent off excess pressure. The owner's manual recommends a single to 4 jiggles per minute. It takes longer for this canner to cool down than other people due to the thick walls. I aspect this in to my processing time. It will maintain it really is pressure (15 psi) for virtually one more ten minutes with the burner off. This canner is created to fit 7 quart jars perfectly. If your searching for a canner, this is it!

I purchased a presto and utilized it on my very first canning job. Needless to say all 20 pints of my green beans did not seal. They had been all wasted along with all the time it took to prepare them. I then went to the Amish store and purchased an All American Canner! Even though Ms. Miller (unhappy poster) seemed a tiny mad that the canner was so thick, it made me pleased to know it was sound and I did not have to be concerned about the lid blowing off with all of the All American's security features. Throughout the winter I can virtually a entire beef in about a weeks time. I run two 21 qt. AA Canners on my glass best stove from 8 in the morning till three or four pm. I have by no means had a dilemma with the canner or the glass best stove. I am cautious not to drop my canner. I do not uncover placing the lid on tricky. You just have to do it evenly. Pleased Canning!
