I have been an organic gardener for 30 years and been canning almost as long. About 15 years ago, I needed a new pressure canner and bought Model915. I considered going larger but I am in my 60's and wasn't sure I could handle anything heavier.
Not having a rubber gasket is really nice - no worries about it stretching, drying out or failing. And the way the All American Canner is made, you have confidence that the top will make a solid seal with the bottom.
Well-made and well-designed, I know this pressure canner will outlive me and I actually added it to my bequests in my will so someone who will use it when I'm gone can go on enjoying this wonderful tool.
