Pressure canner - advice on buying a new one?
In article , Bob Kay
wrote: I've water bathed canned for years, but have been intimidated with pressure canner. I am thinking about Presto 25 quart canner. Any advice or reccomendations? Thanks Emarie One with a weighted gauge is easier to get the pressure just right. All-American has an excellent reputation, too. I have a Mirro weighted-gauge canner that's probably 20 years old. -- -Barb, www.jamlady.eboard.com An update on 7/22/04.

Thanks Emarie Hi ! Stay away from any pressure canner with rubber gaskets. Check out a metal-to-metal seal. Such as The All American Canner - which comes in different sizes. pickle king Chiang Mai, Thailand

Eventually they may fail and need to be replaced, but if looks mean anything they have another 10 years to go at least. All Americans are nice, but they weigh twice as much as a Mirro or Presto, take up more cabinet space, and they cost a lot more. If you have a glass top stove, Presto is the only canner with a flat bottom that might work. Best regards, Bob

I've got a Sears canner that is about 40 years old now. I replace the gasket every two years and have the steam gauge adjusted and certified annually. Still works for me. George
