Have an 941, I love it for large batch , but I needed a smaller one. So when hubby wanted another piece of machinery, I said sure as long as I get a Smaller All American. It's in the mail.
I use plain chapstick on my rim/sealing surface.... So easy and clean. I bet the flavored ones would be just fine.
Tamales work great in these as well. And yes they can get oxidized inside and out with no major issue. Times are a changing, older canners had French warnings instead of Spanish.
I've found E-bay is often a place to find an All-American Canner at a decent price. Typically they are the older style and have a different petcock and a dial. They can easily be fitted with the modern, weighted petcock by removing the old and slipping on the new style purchased from All-American. So please don't be worried that the canner you find is the older style. It's easy-peasy to replace any and every part. I've done it several times. The little round, rubber safety piece is easy to get and replace, too.
Love my All American. Still going strong 25 years later.
I am going to try canning on an outdoor burner this year.
I have a 925 and love it. Mine sticks all the time, I use a screwdriver to lift it up a smidgen. One thing though is I can rarely see the steam venting. I check it everytime to see light through it, a little water spurts out so I also know it's not clogged and I can feel it as it's boiling but I can't see the steam. And that's with my presto also. I use both canners on my glasstop stove. I use cast iron on it also, no problems. FYI Amazon has some AA in stock!!!
I love both my All American and my Presto canners. I just recently received my moms old Presto canners. They are as heavy duty as my AA canner! They are heavy and work like a work horse. I did replace everything that needed to be replace and they work like a charm! I was surprised that they are as thick as the All American canners! I now have 4 canners but I will be sharing with my daughters because they are learning to can with me now!
Weighted gauges do not need to be tested...they do not go out of calibration...many websites giving info. on this. This canner is the best to have...no need to have a rubber seal being replaced either. Edit to add...no rubber seal. With years of experience using this canner...light petroleum jelly on the seal works better than oil. Also, if lid won’t open...which is usually due to using too thin of oil for the seal...use a bottle opener...lightly lift on one side...move over a few inches...do the same...opens right up.
I always wanted one, but since they are so heavy, I decided to stay with my Presto. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day.
Great Job , Wish I could afford one , need to start saving .
You can use them for cooking. If it gets up to pressure and sterilizes your jars on the inside and outsides of your jars, if it has enough moisture in the caner it will sterilize the inside of your canner when cooking with it. f you do not like the idea of your food next to the aluminum, you can cook with an inserted pan of stainless steel, or a large bowl of stainless steel and you would be good to go. I've cooked in my very old (with brass thumb screws) National canner, the stew I cooked came out fine.
Thanks for letting me know which is not for glass stove top.
Very interesting. I have a glass top and can't use this one. Wish I could. Just got into canning myself this last summer. I love it and really like the videos from you and Lisa
A thin layer of Vaseline on the sealing surfaces for lubrication!
I have wanted an all american and found one at a thrift store for $15.00. It is dated 1976 spoke to all american and sent pictures. I was given the clear to use it only had to replace the peacock over to a weight. Thank you for a great video
Its a 921
I always go back through to double check with the questions and the answers are. So if I need it as a reference I’ll save it.
Love my All American canner..used the 1st one over 25 years.
PS...there are two reasons that I see why it is not recommended to pressure can on a glass stove-top. First is the canner is larger than the burner. Could cause heat to spread out to surface not meant to have the heat. Second, if canner is slid across the surface of the stove rather than lifted...could damage the stove. Scratches. Have pressure-canned on a glass-top stove for four years with no problem. Edited for typos.
I own a 921 all american I wouldn't trade it for anything it works great
Thank you for the info. I have been so frustrated with my canner getting stuck, what a simple salvation , a hammer, I will definitely try that, thanks 😊
Bought mine like that one, on ebay, about 5 years back. Just love canning.
I am still researching pressure canners. This one is at the top of my list. Thanks for the demo.
Flame tamer on the camp chef... So now I need and AA ;-) Thanks for all these infos.
This is a very versatile recipe. Can’t wait to try this. I will have to go back and see the video on the chicken salad.
I’m going to ask for one for Mother’s Day 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I bought an electric burner that I can on, because I have an induction cook top. It is a cadco 1500 watt burner and it works great for my 921 and 910 All american canners. Linda, great video!
can u cook in the canner?
Have the 915. It cans 7 quarts and is perfect for me to lift. I'm am over 70.
I'm going to buy this model soon
Thankfors your trourial
We have and use weekly the 2 prestos and my 921....now.on my wish list? That baby you have right there. Can see where it would be well used for small batch canning.👍
Have one. Not small batch canning though...fits 18 regular mouth or 16 wide-mouth pints. Fits 7 wide-mouth quarts. Can do fish in this one also. This is a generational gift that keeps on giving. Low maintenance...nothing to replace.
Great video for starters. My favorite is my All American 921. But it is heavy. I am debating on getting a smaller one. 👍🏻
Guess we are supposed to replace that rubber stopper every two years. I found that out by necessity. Thank God I had a spare!
Thank you for answering my question 😀
I have the 915 and it is wonderful!!
I can’t wait to watch the tutorial. Thank you ☺️
I want to get one, but I just acquired a new Presto. Hugs Linda❤️
Howdy Linda! Great info
Good information. Thanks for doing this for us
Wish I had one. Some day.
This has been very helpful!
Very informative video, thank you!
I have this same canner ,! Love it !
I have the same one....wonderful !
Great video.
I love mine!
I would love to buy one! However they are either extremely expensive or impossible to find in Canada.
Thank you Linda. Great information for a new All American canner like me. So glad you addressed the fact that your canner was sticking and locked down. I didn’t know you could use the claw of a hammer. I was using a flat screw driver where you lock down your canner. Hopefully mine will stop soon. I’ve only used my canner 4 times so far. Looking forward to your next UA-cam video.
The manual says that the 915 and smaller aren't approved for canning salmon. Just FYI
@@PDXTundra I forgot that part. I'm always canning smoked.
Ty!!
I love this series so much. I have my parents old 921 and it sadly came with no manual. Thank you so much for all your knowledge!
Please give us a little more detail about the weighted pressure regulator. If the pressure gauge is nonfunctional and for what ever reason can not be replaced is it entirely safe to use only the weighted pressure regulator? Do weighted pressure regulators ever wear enough to lose accuracy? How does the same weight do three different pressures? What is the five pound pressure used for. How is an All American pressure sterilizer different from an All American pressure canner? Can the regular pressure canner be made to do both functions safely? Thank you
I am new to this canner and its a challenge, second try and still leaking air at the seal
I have a 930, that I love for big batches! Great video, ideas for places for calibration?
QUESTION
After rebuilding after a total loss house fire I bought a presto canner but it’s been a few years and needs to be replaced.
Here is my question…even though I’ve canned for 40 years I always used a Gauge canner. Used to be that the local USDA extension office would check your gauge for free each year to make sure it was calibrated correctly. Now they won’t. Because of all the crazy going on now I figure it’s safer to just go by the weighted gauge. So… if something I’m canning says to can at 12 lbs of pressure do you go higher at 15 lbs or use the 10 lb setting. Also what is the difference between the round 5 10 15 weight and the weighted rings on some canners.
I have a glass top but from what I can tell the diameter is the issue. I was on the phone with hours with my stove mfg.
I figure if I’m going to have to replace a canner the AA is something I could pass on when I’m gone if it’s taken care of properly.
Who knows I might hit the jackpot and win the one being given away for canuary lol
Thanks Linda for all the great canning videos you make. You always seem
To have everything so together you inspire the rest of us
I have a Preston.
I have learned so much from you! Thank you for your willingness to teach! Now.... I have a canning question....I have an old Italian man with a restaurant near me & every time I go, I come home with 8 styrofoam cups of his marinara! I could literally drink it, it is SO good! My question is....can I can that marinara so it will be shelf stable? There's no meat in it but it is quite greasy....so I'm not sure if I should pressure can or water bath can. I would appreciate your input! Thank you!
You should only can tested recipes. For tomato sauce, the acid level varies by recipe and tomato, so there's no way to tell if it would be safe. Better to freeze it.
I would really love one of them all American canners I cannot afford one but I would really love to have one I got my other canners I'm blessed with them I do got something to can with thank God for that but yes I really would love to have one of them. But now I need they small mouth lids and the big mouth lids. But Linda I do like your kinner the All-American one maybe one of these days I can get one
I have the 921...brand new. It constantly leaks steam out of the excess pressure valve. I've took it out and readjusted it several times. Try again and it still does. Once. It gets anywhere near 10 pounds it's as strong as what was coming out of the weight valve before putting the weight on (the 10 minute). I'm new and don't know what yo do??
I have a new induction cook top with convention oven. I love it but to my immense disappointment, I can no longer use my All American canner because it's made of aluminum thus is not magnetic. I fervently hope that All American will make a stainless steel canner soon, otherwise I'll be restricted to using my Presto pressure canner.
Hi Linda great video, I’m a beginner canner, would this be a good canner to start with or should I go with another one? Thanks much
Go for the best! Worth it. No worrying about gaskets,etc. and there is not yearly recalibration of the gauge...info. here was not correct. Use vaseline every third time to seal well. Oil just too thin and have to reapply all the time. One of my top five purchases ever. I’m glad I didn’t invest in a presto canner,etc. saved me headaches in the long run.
I am looking into getting an All American but can’t decide between the 925 or the 930. I have an 18 quart presto right now, but i want the All American in case the grid goes down for one. Which canner would you recommend? My husband thinks i should get the 930 so that i can do bigger batches. Do you have to have the canner completely full or can you do like 7 quart jars instead of the 14 quart jar capacity in the 930?
Great video Linda 😊 I will have to buy a single burner to use my all american, do you know which one is the best for pressure canner?
With 3 inches of water in there, and 7 pint jars, the water becomes quite high and the warning sticker says not to fill above half full. I'm not sure what to do, less water or just go ahead anyway?
I always take part of the water out so it stays at that halfway point so it reaches the proper amount of pressure
Where would someone go to get the gauge checked? Do you put Vaseline on the wing nuts and screws, if so how often?
Mine is the 921 and doesn't have those bayonet clamps. Are those necessary? I ordered them just in case and have used the canner just fine but recently it's been giving me a few issues
Another question. Why is it not recommended to can fish in the 915?
For first time users, what would you buy? Also can you can on a out door burner?
I’ve used my canner so many times over the years that it has sticky gunk all over the outside. How do you keep it so clean? I’ve scrubbed and scrubbed but it won’t come off. Do you have any ideas?
I got a question.. Is it possible to put to much vaseline on the rim to stop it from sticking
Loooooove love love mine you started my passion for them chickie
Gesundheit!
When your canner is up to pressure, do you expect the weight to jiggle continuously or should you go with 1-4 jiggles a minute? I have heard both.
I've read *from all american and from USDA* that it should be 1-4 times per min
Does your 921 lid fit your 915 canner? I have 3 All American canners. These are older and I use all of them. The lid for my 915 is warped so I use the lid for the 921 on it without problem. I would like to purchase a new lid so that I have all the new components. I would rather not buy 3 new lids.
Wow. First, wondering why a heavy and solid lid would get warped. Secondly...have you contacted all american to see if lids are inter-changeable? Life-time warranty?
Chris, It was a defect in the casting process...or when it was manufactured. When I got it 30 years ago, I thought I was doing something wrong every time since canner would always leak steam under pressure. It wasn’t so easy “back in the day” to get answers to questions. I tried to contact All American without luck.
Ok....l’ve emailed Wisconsin Foundry, the makers of All American Canners. We’ll see what they say.
Great video Linda.
