30 of 30 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner (Kitchen) Every serious gardener needs two canners; a huge one that can handle days of large harvests, and a small one for when you come into the house with just a handful of veggies that you don't want to consume that day, but that you don't want to feed to the livestock or otherwise waste. This sturdy little canner is wonderful for those mini harvest days. Many times I've used it to process just one or two pints.It holds 7 pints or 9 half pints (the ninth doesn't quite make it to the bottom if it's the tapered style, but you can rest its lowest thread, just below the metal band, on two neighboring jars). I like the fact that it doesn't require a rubber gasket (which eventually deteriorates) and its single wiggle-weight does your choice of 5, 10, or 15 pounds of pressure. Its smaller size allows it to both heat up and cool down more quickly than its jumbo cousins, which can give you a firmer product by reducing the time that it's cooking before and after reaching...

While making dinner on the front burners, I often have this canner working on the back burner. After we finally get up from the table (noone ever seems to want to!), depending on what I canned, but usually something that goes for 90 minutes at 10 psi, it is time to take jars out of the canner. There are some steps to do in between, but our table is in the kitchen, so I get up to check on/turn off burner, etc., while still being able to enjoy the wonderful conversation and shananigans going on at the table. Once the canner is cool, it gets a vinegar & soap bath (I have hard water), dried and put on back burner for next load, jars are on a towel ready to cool and seal overnight, and then be put away in the morning while the coffee is perking. The smaller size means I don't feel guilty if I...

If you do a lot of canning with quart jars you need the 21.5 quart model or larger. Generally total submersion is only required for hot water bath methods used for high acid foods like pickles. You don't need a pressure cooker for these but just a large pot. However, I like to think of my pressure cooker as my go to device for all canning needs as well as a pressure cooker. I don't want to have to also purchase a large pot. I would like to see this firmly stated somewhere (other than in the middle of page 18 of the manual) as I would not have bought this small model had I known. For bad advertising, and my ruined pickles, it gets 3 stars. |
