 "All American Pressure Cooker 41 1/2 quart" 2010-07-26
By Darlene Turner (Rio Linda, CA, US)
I have owned this pressure cooker for about 20 years. My husband bought it at a yard sale for $4o. We stored it for those 20 years and never used it because we never had enough produce to warrant the work. We now have a garden with 80 tomato plants, all loaded with beautiful organically grown Better Boys and Early Girls, and of course Romas. We pulled the cooker out of storage, washed it up and downloaded a manual off the internet. I just got done canning 140 lbs of tomatoes into spaghetti sauce. What a job !! But my husband and I were able to process all the quart jars in two batches in this excellent pressure cooker. I highly recommend this item.

I love this canner - but I ended up buying one of its smaller brothers for most of my canning jobs. I can generally get 31 pints into this thing (32 if a couple of jars on the bottom layer are skinnier than usual). That sounds wonderful: until you figure out how long it takes to load that many jars. If I am doing all the work by myself it adds well over an hour of cooking time to the stuff I'm canning - which doesn't do it a lot of good. Nowadays I reserve this canner for occasions when I've got extra hands to help get it loaded quickly.

Other than that insight, all I can do is second what others have said: a wonderful device, packaged poorly (will probably get dinged in shipping, but either Amazon or All American will make it good), with racks that are really a joke (I made myself a set of decent ones), and it is way too big and heavy to go on a stove-top.

This thing was built to last a hundred years! The unit is heavy, thick aluminum, no corners cut anywhere. Your grandchildren will be using this. Did I say that I was impressed? Whoever said they don't make 'em like they used to sure wasn't talking about this canner, it's the best I've ever seen. Buy it with complete confidence.

First off I aready own a All American 921 canner for over ten years, and it has been flawless,you wont find a better pressure canner anywhere,these are the best........

Now as for price I looked Hi and Lo,and could not find it cheaper anywhere,the places that came close or beat Amazons price,Lost that edge when they added shipping,........

I recieved my canner in 5 days and it was in perfect working order,if you do a lot of canning you know the waiting for the pressure to drop off before you can load another batch can really cut into a day,,with both of these babys fired up I should be filling the pantry in short order........GET ONE.......

I have not as yet used it but judging from the quality of the item and past experience with pressure cookers I predict it to be excellent. It is magnificent!
