All American Canners
The all-American pressure canner is one of the highest quality heavyweight canners on the market. It provides one of the safest and quickest methods of canning and will satisfy the most fastidious buyer.
As with all pressure canners, as opposed to water bath canners, the all-American pressure canner is safer and gives you the capacity to can a larger variety of low acid foods. It is strongly built unit with a weighted pressure gauge and heavy duty screw downs and side clips.
These are important, because they ensure that your canner will not only last you for a very long time, but also gives you the ability to can a large variety of both low and high acid foods in complete safety.
Many people have a reticence when it comes to home canning, believing that the risk of food poisoning is too high. The experience of thousands of people over the last hundred years disproves this, and as long as you follow instructions you need have no concern.
Just have a look at the following features:
- A choice of sizes which allows you to start out small to take advantage of short heat up times. With a bit of experience you can go to a larger size which can allow you to double stack and maximize your canning output.
- A separate pressure and temperature gauge. You can see just how much pressure and at which temperature the unit is operating at a single glance.
- A weighted vent. This gives you the audible tell-tale rattle which is a constant reminder that you’re pressure cooker is operating.
- A blow plug. This is simply for peace of mind and safety. You can operate your unit knowing that in the event of over pressure, the blow plug will release avoiding any damage or threat to your safety.
- The ‘metal- on- metal’ sealing lid mean that there is no gasket seal required, therefore no replacement gaskets. In the past old-style canners which were constructed using gaskets meant that in the event of a breakage you had to hunt around for a new gasket. This could mean lengthy delays or in some cases the search for a new canner as the gaskets became unavailable.
- Easy to find replacement parts. The All American Canner brand is an institution in the world of canning, and the factory always carries an extensive range of spare parts should you need them.
There is no substitute for quality, and the All American Canner is the sturdiest canner on the market and has become a favorite choice for tens of thousands of Americans over many generations.
