This is a top quality product built for serious home canning. The quality is apparent at a glance. It's an intimidating machine at first, but it's actually simple, safe and robust if you follow instructions. READ THE SAFETY RULES on the first page of the manual and follow them to the letter! The instruction booklet is comprehensive and easy to follow. This is an adult piece of equipment...made for responsible adults. If you don't follow the safety rules, you will damage or destroy your pressure cooker, and you may get hurt doing it.

The only part of this machine that requires regular replacement is the safety plug. The manufacturer recommends replacing the plug every year or two before you start the season's canning. Also, the seal must be lubricated after every few runs with petroleum jelly. Other than that, you shouldn't need to buy any gaskets or parts to keep it running forever.

This model can handle 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars or 4+ gallons of food for your next cookout and it's built to last a lifetime. If you are going to do any serious canning, don't waste your money on an inferior tool. This is a great choice.

Buy one of these pressure canners for all of these reasons.

* Made in USA

* Metal to metal seal. No need to ever replace seal/gasket saves money in the future. Seals may have to be replaced annually and can cost up to 50$ plus s/h

* Pressure/Temp gauge. Increased accuracy, saftey and reassurance.

I'm addicted to canning. I own the 25 quart All-American and it is WONDERFUL! I 100% recommend it!

I use this canner for making jams. It is fantastic! Really like that you can use 5, 10, or 15lbs of pressure for whatever you are making. I have even abused it on more than one occasion and it is still going strong. Even cooked several rice and meat dishes in here with great results. If the inside gets dirty I've found that the steel wool is a pain and doesn't do the job as well as the manufacturer says it will and has left scratches on the inside. I use Barkeepers Friend on a kitchen sponge or sponge/scrubber and it does a great job. Williams Sonoma recommends them with Calphalon pans as it doesn't scratch when used with a sponge. Works wonders on my cooker!

You're going to drop some serious money for this pressure cooker/canner, but it's worth every penny. I love mine - don't know why I waited so long to finally purchase one.

I ordered this without paying enough attention to the size- holy cow, it would need two burners on my stove, which isn't small! I sent it back, but will definitely buy a smaller one of these. The quality is unmistakable- it's a thing of beauty to look at. This size was nearly a soaking-tub size, though. Just be aware of what size you're getting!

I love the All American Canners!
I purchased a larger one so I could put more jars in at one time !
I am so comfortable using it and the shipment was wonderful!

The very best made!!! No stinky rubber seal. This product is so perfectly machined that the bi-beveled and concave metal to metal seals and the locking lugs make this pressure cooker an all time winner. You see these in commercial kitchens for a good reason, it is simply the best. A beautiful piece of AMERICAN MADE QUALITY THAT CANNOT BE IMPROVED.

My wife and I can all of the food we grow and this beats using the stove by far!
We use it out on the porch with a propane tank attached! No mess afterwards!
Its wonderful and the best part is the safety feature {the lock tight knobs on top}
I highly reccommend this to anyone whom cans!
The quality is top notch and customer service is wonderful!
It makes canning a lot easier!

This is one of the smartest purchases that I have made. If you are looking for a pressure canner that is durable and makes you feel safe this is the one. While a bit heavy it feels secure as the lid twists and is then held in place by the large wing nuts. It was easy to clean also. You can tell the difference between this one and the competition as soon as it is unpacked, sturdy, no rubber gasket to lose or damage and easy to load. I know of no other pressure canner that is made in the USA. If the price has you hung up a bit just remember that you get what you pay for. I wish you well.
