   … first test batch in the canner and I’m really happy with it

   I just did my first test batch in the canner and I’m really happy with it. It’s huge and will allow me to can a ton of produce at a time reducing the effort and tediousness of canning. I’ve had freezers fail in the past and almost ruined frozen food. I’m going to be canning more to prevent that from happening again. Canning is a more realistic option now, due to the capacity of this canner. The description says it can hold 32 pints but I like using wide mouth pints. It holds 25 of those plus an additional 3 regular mouth for a total of 28 per load. If you’re looking to substantially reduce your time and increase production this is the canner for you.It also holds 21 wide mouth quarts. 10 on the lower level and 11 on the top.

   Advice given in Q&A section is incorrect for cookers not hitting pressure, but excellent customer service from the factory fixed

   Excellent craftsmanship, even better customer service. Almost returned it as damaged, but a call to the factory led to a series of return calls from various people till they got me an expert online. The advice given in the question and answer section, wasn’t helpful to me, my pressure cooker would keep going to 10psi then make a popping sound, and vent steam, and never go up to 15. I thought I had a warped one somehow, but heard good things about the company, so decided to call them.I had followed all the suggestions on here to make the lid even, to oil the lip where they connect, to tighten the bolts across from each other to keep the lid flat. The factory instead had my even the lid, make sure the lip was oiled, tighten the bolts across from each other to just touching, then to go around the lid, not on opposite bolts but on the bolts beside each other one by one, to tighten it down further. Completely opposite advice from what was said in here, but after 8 failed attempts, the info from the factory worked for me on the very next try. I then made a pot of soup stock up, and it hit pressure again with no problems.

   My favorite kitchen appliance!!!!

   This review is written after owning the All American Canner for over one year. I have canned meats, sauces, vegetables, beans, soups, broth, and maybe a few other items in this canner. When I purchased the canner, I watched 1 (one, uno, un) YouTube video on how to can and figured this to be pretty easy. I ordered this canner because of the reviews and the heirloom quality of the equipment. This is definitely an investment piece.I became an intermediate to professional canner based on watching one video and using this canner. I use the National Center for Home Food Preservation website for guidelines. Anyone can do it!!!!If you are looking to homestead, to preserve a harvest, or preserve produce you caught on sale, then you won’t be disappointed in this canner. It’s heavy duty and I can see it yielding batch upon batch of canned foods year after year.Any regrets???…. I wish I’d gotten a larger size.Happy canning!!!!!!

   WORTH EVERY PENNY – 21.5 QT model comes with second rack

   Future Buyers: You do not need to order an extra rack. I have actually not used the pressure cooker I purchased yet, but I have used my friend’s and it works amazingly. Maybe I missed it, but I looked hard to find out how many racks were included with the cooker and I could only find “comes with rack” (seemed like a good indication that there was only one). On top of that when Amazon suggested based on other’s purchases that I buy the canning kit and the additional rack, I figured it was a common need. Sure enough everything arrived and the Pressure Cooker came with two racks, so back my extra rack will go.Three tips from using my friend’s All American Pressure Cooker: 1. Do yourself a favor and go to the All American Pressure Cooker website and watch the video on what constitutes a “jiggle”. 2. Rest assured that the column of steam you are looking for will not be a thick full column of visible steam, but instead means that there is constant flow of air out of the vent. At one point I started to second guess this and kept looking for a thick visible column of steam and it caused me to over-process a couple of batches. 3. I found it helpful to use a ruler (or other guide) to make sure the lid is on evenly. While I could tell if the cover was way off – it would definitely look uneven – it was nice to have something to measure with to be sure.Also, a lot of people wonder what type of range they can use this with. I have a Frigidaire ceramic electric range top I called them and they said since the Pressure Cooker is quality aluminum that it is fine to use. The only worry is with scratching the surface of the range, but it will be a cosmetic issue not a functionality issue.All American Pressure Cooker HAS AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE – the hours are all Eastern Time and work hours, so not the most convenient, but they have helped answer so many questions about canning and preserving different items not listed in the booklet that comes with the cooker.

   Do your research!

   I bought the 921 canner, named her Monica, and we have already canned 6 cases of jars. This canner is a really beautiful machine – but please do your research. I watched you tube videos and read books and articles and only after I full understood the process did I can for the first time. I started with potatoes (cheap if you mess them up) and had a little difficulty with the seal leaking – it needed to be screwed down tighter, alternating opposite sides at first, then the individual adjustment to fully close. ALWAYS OIL THE RIM to ensure the seal. Follow the careful procedure of checking the valves, cleaning and checking the inside, lining the lid up properly, and adjusting the wing nuts to ensure the lid seal.And give yourself plenty of time. Seems like things go sideways when folks rush the process. Canning takes patience and research. And this awesome, reliable, built to last canner.
