All American 921 Pressure Canner: How I Clean, Prep, Can and Store My Canner~The Kneady Homesteader

[@lynhanna917]

If you ever let your canner cool too long and you are not able to get the lid off please don't get stressed out and do what I did - yup I am the one who unscrewed all the "L'" shaped safety brackets then pried the lid off carefully with a flat head screw driver. Instead just turn the heat up under your canner for a few minutes this will allow some pressure to build up and the lid will release easily. Glad to see you back Heather.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

That is fantastic info! Thanks for sharing just in case that ever happens to anyone, including myself!

[@mercyaguilar2209]

I'm a beginner canner and I really appreciate you taking the time from your busy day to show us newbees the basics! I appreciate you!!

[@prayingitup3297]

Praying you an your family UP, sweet Heather!

[@charmainemrtnz]

I actually turn my lid upside down on the canner for storage. This protects the stem and gauge.

[@warrior4ever731]

No other way

[@jeanfougerousse2625]

I used my All American pressure canner for the first time tonight and it was scary. The book didn’t tell me nearly as much as you did. Heather, you are a wonderful teacher. You took all my jitters away! I can do this! Thank you!😊

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Yay! Way to go!!!!!! How did it go for you?😆👏👏👏 I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!

[@p.macomber6901]

Thank you for being thorough, I actually picked up an All American 921 from a garage sale site online for free! (major score) so there was no book to read. This gave me the confidence to try my beets today

[@stephaniecrow7387]

Shalom HeatherI just purchased my first All American pressire canner. It's my first pressure canner ever. I ordered the 910 because my microwave is closer top my stove. Thank you for this video. Excellent instructions. I've been following you for just over 2 years. Blessings upon you and your family❤🙏

[@gabrielvankempen7863]

I know this video is 2 years old but I'm excited because my All American 921 is being built (made) right now and then will be shipped to me on Monday. I will have to relearn what I knew as a kid helping my Mom canning with her 921!

[@moseleereadingroom8267]

Lots of prayers for Heather. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 RIP Matt. 💖‼️💖💖💖

[@suzannebinsley5940]

I got a 1950s All American at an estate sale. I love that you go over all of the information for newbies.❤ I want to clean and lubricate it correctly before giving it a test run.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

That is awesome! Happy Canning!!!!!!

[@charleshmansfield5786]

The All American pressure canner is great. I bought mine about 35 years ago, and it’s still as good as new. If you are a serious canner, get an All American, if you haven’t done so already.

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

After trying twice to get my lid on right, I just gave up. I thought I had it, but the lid started venting. :( It tears, I text my husband and said, "I'm done." It's the same night and I decided to search this canner. Your video popped up. Thank you! I can't give up on this simple task. You are an amazing woman. You keep going. Thank you! Prayers for all of you. I will let you know when my darn pasta sauce gets safely canned.

[@theheritagehousesc]

Thank you for the tutorial Heather! I just got a used 921 today and inside it was all black. I scrubbed the inside with Bar’s Friend cream solution and filled the canner with water and put a couple splashes of vinegar and lemon juice. Put the lid on and let it come to boil. Then turned heat off and let it sit there for a while. The black color is gone and looks like new. You can also use cream or tartar with the lemon/vinegar. Just boil fir half hour.

[@WalkScripture]

So glad to be able to choose one of Heather’s videos for a refresher on how to use my canner!

[@highplainsliving1953]

I'm using my all American canned for the first time tonight. I'm canning chili peppers. So far so good. I have watched this video several times now, and it has helped me a lot to remember what to do. Thanks.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Happy Canning and Congratulations!!!!!

[@rosemarypetrongelli1384]

Hi my friend, so good to see you. You look beautiful, your smile just shines thru. I water bath Heather, that’s all. I’m 77 years old, did a lot before. Now it’s a garden and I harvest what my husband plants. But he’s not well. I let him have his joy of gardening. Our sons help and try to keep him happy too. Thanks for listening to my woes. God bless you, Matt and kids.♥️♥️🌹❤️🌷 I

God Bless you, Rosemary, and I am going to keep you and your husband in my prayers. I wish we lived closer, I would bring my canner over and help you can up his beautiful garden! :D

💗 I am almost 10 years behind you, My Husband is disabled and I'm getting there. I love to garden but already there are things I need my grown son's help with. Getting older isn't for the faint of heart. Have to get out there and do what we enjoy even if it hurts.🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

I'm so excited. I bought an All American 921 canner at an "antique" (junk) store this week for the whopping sum of $20! It looks to have been used only a few times. It is an old type with a petcock. I will be getting a vent pipe and weight for it but I'm sure going to fill that puppy up with jars today and give it a run.

[@christyscreations6229]

I bought my AA 921 canned because of your video on it about 3 years ago. I love it! It will definitely last a lifetime and maybe one day my girls will can too and I can pass it on. I started watching your videos shortly after you started on your journey and have been following along ever since. Your videos inspire me to do and try things I probably never would have done otherwise and you have changed my life in so many ways! I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you for what you do Heather! 💗

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Thank you so much, that is extremely kind of you to say. Its women like you that keep me going here otherwise I would have shut this channel down already. So thank you for such kind words. I really appreciate it. And I am so happy you love your AA!!!!! 😁❤️

[@rosaespinal7698]

I've been canning for about two months on my Presto 23 qt and love canning so much that today I ordered the 930, which hopefully it arrives in the coming month and a half. Since it doesn't hurt to get acquainted with my canner, thru the magic of YT and you, and because I learned so much by watching this video, I thank you greatly.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

congratulations!😁👏🏻

[@angelsarrived2642]

Its nice to know all about the All American Canner, even though I can't afford one right now. LOL. Things learned, are always an asset in life. I try to learn something new each and every day. Just as I do several acts of kindness a day also. Its like breathing. It comes natural. 😃. Sending prayers and love your way.

[@Dakiniwoman]

It's a year later and I am back watching this video again as I forgot how many quarts I could put in at once. Right now I have a double layer of pints and half pints processing and making up quarts now... It's all stew today, but tomorrow it's going to be baked beans again. I love this 921 canner! Thanks again dear for your video.

[@reinocarroll]

Thank you Tomorrow I will break in my new All American Canner. Baked beans Yipeee. Have hot water bath down and was intimidated back then.

How much water in canner before you add jars

[@vdavis1959]

I have the same canner and never felt safe using it. Until now. Thanx for your time and a real easy and consice explanation of how to use this. If I return to your website, I'm okay. If you don't hear from me.......then I died of botulism........either way I feel a lot more confident now.........Also this is the first time someone has mentioned spores in their canning video. The reason we are canning in the first place. Heat, Time, and pressure is what kills spores.....like sterilization/autoclaving. again thanx

Well, hopefully you’ll be back. 👍🤣

[@stclairstclair]

Im so excited to use my all american 921 again this year, I made spaghetti sauce from the booklet with the end of year garden tomatoes It is absolutely the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had, Im at 9 months and I still have one quart left. Im too busy to try and can all year like I want, so I decided to start with not allowing any garden tomatoes to go to waste or forced to give them all away and now im working on what else I can do when I've got time, It is so nice to be able to home can!

[@sherryrains9906]

I am doing great today ! thank you for asking I really enjoy your canning videos I learn so much. I just canned some more salsa yesterday I enjoy canning so much I don't mind water bath canning but pressure canning is my favorite. I bought a older all American canner last month I got to change the gauge and the jäger on it the only thing is it has a screw instead of a rudder gasket. So I called the company and she said it was safe to use. But I plan on buying a new one some time in the future

[@lynhanna917]

I bought a used one too with a screw welded in where the rubber gasket was to go. I didn't feel safe using it but it was a canner that held 14 qts. I bought a new one but I got the one that held 7 qts hoping that the styles hadn't changed much and that the lid on the 7 qt would fit on the 14 qt and YES it did. I now have two bottoms with one good working lid.

[@T4Tigress]

Hi Heather, great video. Although I am not exactly new to canning, I have never seen someone use the canner other than on You Tube. So, I have always questioned how hearty a jiggle should be. Usually videos show the early jiggle (right after coming up to temperature) only. I over the years have only been able to get my All American to jiggle with a hearty jiggle more than 4/ minute. I know turning the heat down gave me that 1-4/minute jiggle. But, the jiggle wouldn't be as robust. And because I could never hear someone else's later in the session jiggle, I have thought that it had it be hearty. This has bothered me for years. Thank you! I was able to hear your jiggle. LOL! Now I will have prettier jars - little to no evacuation I expect starting with my next batch. Thank you so munch. I could really hug you right now. One more thing... Do you still use your Tattler lids? If not, why?

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

In my mind, I started singing the jiggle jiggle jiggle those jigglers song, from Jello! HAHAHAHAHA I am so glad to hear my video was helpful in some way to you. That makes my day, you have no idea! I have a dozen tattlers in both the wide and reg mouth. I dont use them because they are a pain to take off. You need either a special tool, which you have to order from the company, I wish they offered it on Amazon OR use a butter knife. I also have to boil the seals before you use them, which is an extra step since the Ball lids cant be boiled. More importantly, the owner of the company was very misleading in his videos, to sell more product and when he was called out by a fellow canner here on youtube, he was belligerent and rude to her. So, I hate using a product when I know the owner is a creep. So, it;s a combo of things. I do have them on hand, to use for emergency, but I can't give the company my money knowing what I know about the unethical practices of lying to their customers. ugh. I wish we had more options for lids out there!

Great video I also have 2 AA canners one like yours and a BIG one that stacks quarts I can get 20 quarts at one time in it. I do mine the same with the Vaseline I found olive oil got sticky, I do end a little different when the temp comes down to 0 I remove my giggler and wait 5 minutes then I lift my lid and turn it about half inch and set it back down resting the little legs on the rim of the canner bottom and not as mush adjar as you did after I do this then I wait 20-30 minutes before removing lid. I found this helps with siphoning before I started doing this I got so much siphoning when I removed jars right away. I clean and store same as you do. I love watching canning videos I learn so much from everyone. You done an awesome job!!

Such a great video, Heather! It was especially helpful to me to see exactly where you were putting the Vaseline on the lid and canner. I wasn't putting it around the top edge of the canner, just around the beveled part. It has been hard for me to get the lid off. This should help a lot. I have both a new AA (which I got about 10 days ago and have used several times) and a 6-month old Presto that I've never used yet. So, I'll be hopping over to see Mandy, too! Thanks, again. You girls are the best! :)

You did a fantastic job on this video! I have an All American and a Presto. I actually love both of them. My AA is one that the lid sticks on about half of the, I call All American and was told that it happens to about every hundred canners! Oh well I just keep a hammer close by and follow their instructions on how to open it, which is kinda pain but not enough to ever stop using it! I love my Presto because it is a so easy to use! I cut my teeth on that one and and absolutely love it as well. I love canning! I’m anxious to get back into canning, which I miss so much, as soon as I am able to I’m going to be canning your chili beans. They are our favorite! I enjoyed this video very much!

Food grade grease is a better option for the pot seal. It will never scorch or burn and doesn't discolor. Amazon has it. It's also sold as Stopcock grease. A stopcock is the tapered glass stopper that fits into and seals the top of a glass lab bottle. Same product, both inert and food safe.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Yes! ❤️ go to the All American website for their canners. They have the instructions posted on how they recommend you lubricate the lid so it doesn’t seal shut to the body during processing ❤️
