921 All American Pressure Canner Review

When my husband and I were married 26 years ago, one of my first purchases was a 921 All American Canner.

My mom had always canned with a Presto, always checked the rubber gasket every year, etc, and so, when I saw a canner that did not require that, I was excited.

It was a more expensive canner then, but worth every penny. I can remember having to help my mom untwist her canner top, and was so delighted to only have to unbolt the little screw bolts and do a little turn, and the top would lift off easily.

I have used the canner on gas stoves and currently use it on a Wolf electric cooktop with great results. It is very responsive to the stove when I am expelling the steam, when I am raising the pressure and then when I get to the correct pressure, it is easy to hold the temp (kudos to both the stove and the canner).

I love this canner. My mom actually likes to join me when I use it--she likes it too. I have not had any problems with the lid sticking. I do keep the surfaces clean and am careful to tighten the lid evenly as the instructions describe.

The canner gives good instructions on how to can and to actually cook in the canner, but I use it exclusively as a canner.

An All American Pressure Canner is a top of the line canner. They offer several sizes for different size jobs.

A great investment, perfect for the serious canner.
