Okay....so firstly...you're adorable! Thanks for the good info.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

You are so welcome!

[@stclairstclair]

As a mechanic I was pretty disgusted with the quality of today's pressure canners, Thin folded metal used as a latch for the tops, Hard to find gaskets that will need to be replaced. I caught my wife in a good mood and Quickly made an amazon purchase(all american 921) Best money I've ever spent, I made a years worth of spaghetti sauce at one time with the summers end garden tomatoes and it is the best I have ever tasted compared to any store bought sauce, I'm growing tomatoes for this years spaghetti sauce!

[@noemividal8700]

how long between batches? How many years have you had the all american pot?

[@stclairstclair]

Noemí Vidal, I'm on my third season for canning tomatoes and sauce, Now my real problem is growing enough tomatoes, One batch of spaghetti sauce can use 30 pounds of tomatoes at once but that was enough sauce for almost a year, And was AMAZING. Ive done chicken soup, split pea soup, Hot peppers for nachos, these were all excellent, I wont try ground beef because I hear it's not too good.

[@robertwade1273]

Glad you had the money.. I use a Presto.. It was an economic AND as I am 71, a weight decision. I could by 3 Prestos for one AA 921. I can lift my canner fine now, but I know in a couple of years, an AA would have been too heavy. Both can fine AND the Presto has a 25 year warranty.

[@stclairstclair]

Robert Wade, Apparently these have skyrocketed in price since I made that comment, This year I didn't have time to tend my garden and so no canning.

[@wendyellis6402]

I’m so glad I bought my All American 921 a few years back, before all of this uncertainty about the food supply. It cost only $179 - and free shipping. Yesterday, I noticed the price increased to $379. Now, jars and lids are ridiculous, and not so easy to find. I had good luck at Ace Hardware. Thanks for this video 😊

[@Mase326]

Can confirm, had great luck at Ace Hardware for supplies and also in second tier big box grocers (United, Albertsons, HEB, etc) in areas not typical for canning (urban areas, areas away from rural edges, different ethnic areas etc). No dice at the primary big box stores (Walmart, big fancy new HEB, Market Street, etc)

[@robertwade1273]

suggestion... Other things to consider is - do you have enough room on your stove above the canner... Many homes have a low hood or microwave there and the canner is so close you can't take the lid off... Check with your glass top stove manufacturer to see if canning on it voids the warranty. As she pointed out, some canners like the All American is heavy.. CAN you lift the addition weight. Most canners say don't use on a stove burner over 12000 BTU. Many outdoor propane stoves are triple that... IF you have one of those, you can have it changed out to a lower pressure regulator or you can get a flame spreader to spread the heat over the whole bottom of the canner... Note that some of the jet type propane burners can melt a hole in the bottom of you canner. Make sure you oil the gasket on your mirro or Presto canner when you use it... On the All American make sure you follow directions for lubing the seal area... If you don't you may get a lid that is stuck on and almost impossible to remove. read the manual... THEN read it again the next day.. Identify all the parts and were they go. THEN do your first canning session with water in jars with lids and rings. Make sure your manual is open to the step by step proceedure and follow it..

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I think you will love your canner. They are so well made and will last many lifetimes.

[@catherinemartina6469]

I have been watching videos on canning for 2 years. You are the first person that explained the difference between water canning and pressure cooking...also pressure canner and pressure cooker...THANK YOU.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dixsigns1717]

Great advice! Happy canning! I have 4 All American canners, I can can anywhere from 4 pints to 18 pints at a time. I am so glad someone took the time to do a video like this. You go, Gal!!!

[@colonelcalabash1]

Smart lady. This was just the info I needed. I check like and subscribed. Looking forward to learning more.

[@mackaronen]

My girlfriend told me about pressure canning last week, first I heard about it. I've preserved some jams and apple sauce before. Usually I put the cans in the oven after filling. I first tried to find an All American canner here in Sweden, no luck, then I looked in other European countries, no luck there either. So I had to order one on ebay, an All American 925, it was extremely pricey, the freight alone was $225. But I see it as an investment in our family, we can expand our garden plots and preserve everything we don't eat directly. And hopefully it will become an family heirloom for at least a couple of generations to come. I'm really looking forward to start canning. I wonder, can you can on a wood stove? We have a glass induction stovetop, but also a wood stove in the kitchen. I guess we'll get a gas camping stove and do our canning in a tent out in the garden. Looking forward to watching your other videos, thanks for putting in the time and effort.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

It will become an heirloom. Wow, that is expensive shipping.

[@cryptomind5952]

Although, I love the mac daddy the 921 All American, it is out of my budget, so Presto it is! Thanks for helping me to decide as I am not working due to covid. A meal in a jar made by me is more appetizing than any canned soup out there! When I can I will save for a canner unless black Friday proves to be in my favor. I very much appreciate your advice!

[@frugalprepper]

I got a presto 23qt that I have been using for when I double stack pints, since 2012, it is still going strong on the original gasket. It is nice because it is light and I store them in the basement, so I have to carry it up and down the stairs. I also have an old National/Presto No. 7 that I got at a thrift store for $5 about the same time in 2012, it's it my work horse canner that stays out in the kitchen from Late July through October where I am normally canning a load each night from the garden. I put a new gasket on it 10 years ago when I got it, but it still working with that gasket as well. I have a spare for each on though, just in case. Usually in Mid August for a couple of week, I have them both running at the same time as well as a water bath canner.

[@Vanndam41]

Nice informative video. Thank you Mame

It's funny, I always thought a pressure canner and cooker were the same, but after wanting to buy my pressure canner realized they were far from the same. Thanks for all the great info!

Especially stewed tomatoes👍 Anyhoo thank u for sharing n teaching. Your video is helpful. Peace n blessings to you and your family dear heart💕🙋🏻🐕

I was scared to death because of my mother screaming at me when I was a kid to stay out of the kitchen, it can kill me lol. The new ones do have a lot of safety on them, so I was glad to learn about the canner too!
