All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

I really like the all american cooker/canners but this one is labeled as accepting 4 quart jars. 4 quart jars do indeed fit, but any method that requires total submersion of the jars wont work as the cooker is not tall enough. If you do a lot of canning with quart jars you need the 21.5 quart model or larger. Generally total submersion is only required for hot water bath methods used for high acid foods like pickles. You don't need a pressure cooker for these but just a large pot. However, I like to think of my pressure cooker as my go to device for all canning needs as well as a pressure cooker. I don't want to have to also purchase a large pot. I would like to see this firmly stated somewhere (other than in the middle of page 18 of the manual) as I would not have bought this small model had I known. For bad advertising, and my ruined pickles, it gets 3 stars.

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 10-1/2-quart pressure cooker/canner holds up to seven pint jars or four 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 11-3/4 inches high with a 10-1/4-inch inside diameter. All-American pressure cookers are made in the USA. This cooker/canner is not suitable for glass or flat top ranges.
