This is an absolute necessity if you want to use a pressure cooker. I purchased the mirro S-9898 pressure regulator and have been ecstatic over being able to cook with the pressure cooker finally. It really simplifies things.

We purchased the pressure cooker at auction, and, of course, the original gasket was old and dry (dead rubber - no life left in it). We were able to purchase this one at a reasonable price and we were canning again in no time!

Presto Pressure Canner Sealing Ring Review

Presto Pressure Canner Sealing Ring
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I keep having to replace the rings every 6 months because they shrink and then they don't do their job. I have a Presto canner and if there was a better ring that fits (which I don't think there is) I would get it. My friend has a Mirro canner and she used it for 15 years and never had to replace the ring. I wish the Mirro ring fit into my Presto canner, but it doesn't.


Click Here to see more reviews about: Presto Pressure Canner Sealing Ring

The sealing ring fits around the inside rim of the cover and forms a pressure-tight seal between the cover and the body of the pressure canner during canning and cooking. When installing a sealing ring, work it into the cover in four small sections, for example, top, bottom , left and right. Work it into the groove a small section at a time until it is fully in place. Place the cover on the cooker body. Put one hand on the top center of the cover and push down firmly. Open and close the cover several times.

No nut, washer, or sealing washer came with it. The nut from the old one would not fit the threads. The threads were a different type and the guy at the hardware store could not find a nut to fit. Possibly the threads were damaged. I am not happy.

Just go ahead and buy this if you are getting the 23 qt pressure canner from Presto. It makes processing two layers of pint jars much easier and more stable. No more worrying if the jars will shift and the second layer will fall.

The cooking rack is used to hold jars off the bottom of the unit while canning. It is also placed in the bottom of the cooker when it is desired to keep food out of the cooking liquid when cooking, i.e. when steaming vegetables.

Hawkins 10 Liter Stainless Steel Cooker Review

Hawkins 10 Liter Stainless Steel Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I actually have the 6 liter or 6.5 quart stainless steel version of this pressure cooker, which is no longer listed for some reason. I narrowed my choices down to the Hawkins and the Kuhn Rikon brands, since they had the best reviews with the least negatives like usability and durability problems. I've had a number of medium quality pressure cookers in the past that failed from falling apart or wearing out their o-ring seals every year, so I wanted a quality one this time. The Kuhn Rikon was about $200, so I bought the Hawkins, which I am happy with.
It's very popular in India, probably because it lasts forever and it's very energy efficient. Once it reaches full pressure I drop the heat from 10 down to a 3. It also uses almost no water, so you can use a minimum of liquid without it going dry on you. It is also safe in case of overpressure. If you do mess up and blow it up, it will release pressure below the handle, so you won't get injured or make a mess of your ceiling. It is very easy/convenient to use and it has a five year warranty, which you aren't likely to use. It appears very rugged. It has a thick completely flat bottom for even cooking on any cooking surface including flat top electric stoves.
There are some potential negatives. It does have a very narrow diameter for it's size because it is tall and narrow. It also has a lip at the top that reduces the usable width and bowls you can insert for cooking to 6.5 inches wide on my 6 liter cooker. I have a small pyrex bowl that fits perfectly for very modest size portions. If you expect to use larger bowls, you'll be disappointed. You also lose a few inches of volume at the top because you have to insert the lid at a steep angle inside the top before seating it underneath the top lip by design. You shouldn't be filling the pressure cooker more than 2/3 full anyway for safety reasons on any pressure cooker, though. You won't have much luck ordering special parts or inserts. The USA Hawkins support doesn't know anything about it. You'll have to go through India. The top lip does make it impossible to completely dry out by hanging upside down, but you can just shake it a little to get most of the water out and let the rest evaporate in the cupboard. There was a big hole in the box it arrived in but the pressure cooker was undamaged. The book manual is very cheaply made and some pages fell out of it immediately upon first opening but these complaints are minor.
I'm very happy with it since I was looking for an easy to use and very reliable stainless steel pressure cooker without paying a fortune.

Fagor 9 Piece Pressure Canning Set Review

Fagor 9 Piece Pressure Canning Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pressure canned apple butter, in pints and half pints, using the Duo 10-quart pressure cooker/canner and very satisfied with its performance. The spring-style pressure mechanism is very quiet compared to the rocker style, and the psychological effect is less like a rocket launch and more like using ordinary cookware. The solid-bottomed 18/10 stainless steel has a beautiful, mirror-like finish and is compatible with induction range tops (Fagor manufactures induction ranges). The pressure slide did hang up one time, and the cooker wouldn't pressurize, but with persistence the slide goes in with a little wiggling. The 10-quart Duo holds four pint or five half-pint jars on the slightly undersized canning rack - a reasonable load for the home canner. The stainless steel ladle and funnel look great and are almost as solid as the cooker. The stainless steel funnel can be submersed in boiling water, and although that's not really necessary with pressure canning, why not kill bacteria when you can? The magnetic lid lifter is a great tool if you are boiling the lids, also not necessary except for water bath canning, but if you're rinsing the funnel in boiling water, why not throw in the lids for good measure? Haven't used the jar wrench because you only tighten lids finger tight when pressure canning. The bubble freer is a useful tool and the jar lifter is a must -- it's great to get all the tools as a set. As a pressure cooker, the Fagor Duo 10-quart can handle anything you can throw into it. Brown a pot roast, throw in two cans of mushroom soup, a packet of onion soup, a cup of water, pressurize and an hour later you have a pot roast with fabulous sauce. Vegetables should go in later or above the roast in the optional steamer insert to avoid turning them into mush. The manual is well written and the DVD features a couple of professional chefs who do a terrific job of showing how easy it is to pressure cook various dishes, including grains and cheesecake. The video hosts are charming and natural, and the DVD gets five stars for taking the fear and mystery out of pressure cooking.

Very vague. Few recipes. I was expecting a basic list of what meats/veggies/fruit that need to be pressure canned and at what. It did have some, but nothing on chicken, beef, pork or basics. Veggies/Fruits covered about 15, if memory serves there are hundreds of different fruits/veggies!
Okay for taking care of your canner, but that's all.

Mirro 12-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Mirro 12-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
Average Reviews:

Instruction pamphlet is wrong: the 12 qt holds 10 half pints, not 13; 8 pints, not 10; 7 wide-mouth pints, not 8 (also fits 6 wide + 2 narrow) .
Now I want to do quarts, but don't think I really may. It says it holds 7 quarts. Five fit, in terms of side-by-side space, but both quarts and pint-and-a-half jars come so close to the top that I'm afraid to try it and maybe lose my stuff. This seems like false advertising.
I have however successfully done pints and half pints. I wouldn't buy it if you want to can anything over pints.

All-American 25-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a top quality product built for serious home canning. The quality is apparent at a glance. It's an intimidating machine at first, but it's actually simple, safe and robust if you follow instructions. READ THE SAFETY RULES on the first page of the manual and follow them to the letter!The instruction booklet is comprehensive and easy to follow. This is an adult piece of equipment...made for responsible adults. If you don't follow the safety rules, you will damage or destroy your pressure cooker, and you may get hurt doing it.
The only part of this machine that requires regular replacement is the safety plug. The manufacturer recommends replacing the plug every year or two before you start the season's canning. Also, the seal must be lubricated after every few runs with petroleum jelly. Other than that, you shouldn't need to buy any gaskets or parts to keep it running forever.
This model can handle 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars or 4+ gallons of food for your next cookout and it's built to last a lifetime. If you are going to do any serious canning, don't waste your money on an inferior tool. This is a great choice.

The high heat generated by a pressure cooker can kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath, making this pressure cooker the ideal tool for canning vegetables and non-acid fruit. All-American's 25-quart pressure cooker/canner holds up to 19 pint jars or seven quart jars. Only All-American pressure cookers/canners feature an exclusive, precision-machined "metal-to-metal" sealing system. Clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam-tight seal. This means no gaskets to crack, burn, replace, and clean. At the same time, the metal-to-metal seal permits venting under unusual pressure conditions, making the seal safer than conventional rubber or composition gasket cookers.
Crafted of the finest hand-cast aluminum, this durable cooker/canner features a stay-cool Bakelite top handle, geared steam gauge, automatic overpressure release, and pressure regulator weight with settings of 5 psi, 10 psi, and 15 psi. The attractive satin finish is smooth and easy to clean. Double thick edges provide added protection on points of heaviest wear. The total measurements are 16-3/4 inches high with a 12-1/4-inch inside diameter. All-American pressure cookers are made in the USA. This cooker/canner is not suitable for glass or flat top ranges.

All-American 41-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, Very fast shipping. Ordered on Saturday and recieved on Tuesday. We do a fair bit of canning. About 200+ pints/quarts per year. This canner is an absolute piece of craftsmanship. Very heavy and well built with an impeccable finish. The wire racks could use a few more rings for smaller pints and half pints but it is not a major issue. Great capacity which will make our canning much faster and easier. The heavy cast aluminum makes maintaining an even temperature very easy and I find I can use less gas to maintain the desired pressure compared to our old pressure canner. Very accurate weight and gauge makes getting the proper pressure a breeze. If properly cared for and maintained I can see this canner lasting generations. Expensive but definitely worth it for the serious home canner. Recommend highly.

This item - part 50332 is the 3 piece weight set needed to convert a Presto 16 or 23 quart pressure canner from a gauged to a weighted canner. However the picture used here and the description are grossly inaccurate. This is a 3 piece weight set of 5-10-15 pound weights. 2 parts are rings (only one pictured) that slip on to the 3rd stemmed piece which sits on the steam valve. It is an excellent product for those who do alot of pressure canning. Too bad the photo and description are so misleading as they will only create confusion and cause lost sales.
