Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The high heat generated by a pressure cooker can kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath, making this pressure cooker the ideal tool for canning vegetables and non-acid fruit. All-American's 10-1/2-quart pressure cooker/canner holds up to seven pint jars or four quart jars. Only All-American pressure cookers/canners feature an exclusive, precision-machined "metal-to-metal" sealing system. Clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam-tight seal. This means no gaskets to crack, burn, replace, and clean. At the same time, the metal-to-metal seal permits venting under unusual pressure conditions, making the seal safer than conventional rubber or composition gasket cookers.
Crafted of the finest hand-cast aluminum, this durable cooker/canner features a stay-cool Bakelite top handle, geared steam gauge, automatic overpressure release, and pressure regulator weight with settings of 5 psi, 10 psi, and 15 psi. The attractive satin finish is smooth and easy to clean. Double thick edges provide added protection on points of heaviest wear. The total measurements are 11-3/4 inches high with a 10-1/4-inch inside diameter. All-American pressure cookers are made in the USA. This cooker/canner is not suitable for glass or flat top ranges.

Excellent for canning smaller batches,

This review is from: All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner (Kitchen)
Every serious gardener needs two canners; a huge one that can handle days of large harvests, and a small one for when you come into the house with just a handful of veggies that you don't want to consume that day, but that you don't want to feed to the livestock or otherwise waste. This sturdy little canner is wonderful for those mini harvest days. Many times I've used it to process just one or two pints.
It holds 7 pints or 9 half pints (the ninth doesn't quite make it to the bottom if it's the tapered style, but you can rest its lowest thread, just below the metal band, on two neighboring jars). I like the fact that it doesn't require a rubber gasket (which eventually deteriorates) and its single wiggle-weight does your choice of 5, 10, or 15 pounds of pressure. Its smaller size allows it to both heat up and cool down more quickly than its jumbo cousins, which can give you a firmer product by reducing the time that it's cooking before and after reaching pressure. I've had mine for several years and nothing on this little workhorse has needed replacing. I recommend it highly.

Great, but get a bigger one,

This review is from: All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner (Kitchen)
I really like the all american cooker/canners but this one is labeled as accepting 4 quart jars. 4 quart jars do indeed fit, but any method that requires total submersion of the jars wont work as the cooker is not tall enough. If you do a lot of canning with quart jars you need the 21.5 quart model or larger. Generally total submersion is only required for hot water bath methods used for high acid foods like pickles. You don't need a pressure cooker for these but just a large pot. However, I like to think of my pressure cooker as my go to device for all canning needs as well as a pressure cooker. I don't want to have to also purchase a large pot. I would like to see this firmly stated somewhere (other than in the middle of page 18 of the manual) as I would not have bought this small model had I known. For bad advertising, and my ruined pickles, it gets 3 stars.

#910 is PERFECT for smaller batches!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner (Kitchen)
This is the second All-American I have (I have #921 - 21 1/2-Qt also), and I love it!
The smaller size means that it sits on top of the stove at all times, ready to be used. While making dinner on the front burners, I often have this canner working on the back burner. After we finally get up from the table (noone ever seems to want to!), depending on what I canned, but usually something that goes for 90 minutes at 10 psi, it is time to take jars out of the canner. There are some steps to do in between, but our table is in the kitchen, so I get up to check on/turn off burner, etc., while still being able to enjoy the wonderful conversation and shananigans going on at the table. Once the canner is cool, it gets a vinegar & soap bath (I have hard water), dried and put on back burner for next load, jars are on a towel ready to cool and seal overnight, and then be put away in the morning while the coffee is perking. The smaller size means I don't feel guilty if I don't have two levels of jars to can (one on top of the other). If I only have 4 pints of picadillo to can, then I only can 4 pints, and no guilt about all that space being wasted. :-) Don't get me wrong, I love my 921 also - I would not know what to do without it, but this 910 has just as much place in my kitchen.
