All American Pressure Canner

The All American Pressure Canner is a a top of the line canner. I don't think you can go wrong buying any of the models available.

They are a bit different from other canners in the way they work. Other brands of pressure canners use a rubber gasket in the lid to form the air tight seal.

The All American Canner however does not have such a seal. It uses a screw down clamping system that fits the lid to the body of the pot metal to metal. This forms the seal that allow the canner to come to pressure.

These canners have same features as other canners as far as safety features. they have an overpressure plug and vents to release pressure

A dial gauge allows you to monitor the pressure reached during processing.

The All American comes in several model sizes. The smallest holds 4 quart jars. This is the smallest size recommended for pressure canning. The largest is a giant! It will hold 19 quart jars! This would be for the serious canner.

If you are looking at purchasing one of the larger canners be sure and measure the distance from your stove top to your range hood or cupboards above your stove. The larger canners are extra tall to enable stacking of jars.

Models and Sizes

The Model 910 pressure canner will hold 10 1/2 quarts of liquid. It will hold seven pint jars or four quart jars.

The Model 915 holds 15 1/2 quarts of liquid, ten pint jars, or seven quart jars. This is a standard size that allows for single layer processing.

The Model 921 is what would be on my wish list. This canner holds 21 1/2 quarts of liquid. The canner is tall enough that pint jars can be double stacked. Thus it will hold 19 pint jars, or seven quart jars.

The Model 925 holds the same number of jars as the 921, but can hold up to 25 quarts of liquid.

The Model 930 will hold 30 quarts of liquid and up to 14 quart jars.

The Model 941 is the largest All American Canner. This huge canner holds 41 1/2 quarts of liquid, 32 pint jars, or 19 quart jars.

Reader Reviews

I wish I could get my hands on one of these canners to check it out in person. Unfortunately there are no local stores that stock them and I don't know anyone personally that owns one.

I have read LOTS of reviews of the All American Pressure Canner. They are overwhelmingly positive.

The only complaint that I have noticed mentioned on more than one occasion is that the lid is sometimes hard to remove after processing. Almost always if someone mentions this problem there are several responses stating that they have had no problems and suggest lubricating the lid with oil.
