All American Pressure Canner Pros

The All American canner can perform a number of cooking tasks even though it is best suited for canning with its large capacity.  In fact, All American pressure canners are recommended for vegetables and nonacid fruits.  You can easily read the pressure gauge, so operation is simple for those who are not as familiar with canners and pressure cookers.

All American Pressure Canner Cons

Of course, there are also a few cons with the canner.  This cooker weighs 20 pounds, so it may be a bit heavy for some users, especially when it has to be carried when it is full.  Furthermore, the 21½ quart utensil may also be too large for some areas with the pot needing at least 16 inches of clearance over the range.

Accessories

The cooker comes with sturdy screws that keep the lid sealed to the canner.  It also includes a three-setting pressure regulator valve.  However, you have no need for the rubber or plastic gaskets or rings.  In fact, you will not find the need for lots of extra accessories to operate this canner.

All American Pressure Canner Summary

While there are very few if any complaints about this device, some people actually like this device better as a canner than as a cooker even though it works well in both capacities.  There are a few cons such as the height and weight, but there are also many benefits such as no need for gaskets or rings to hold the lid in place.  You may find it worth the cost.
