Thank you. Loved the video, put my old mind at easy. I watched and then immediately tested my 921 and she and my stove did wonderfully. Is it normal for the gauge to maintain at 11?
@@connybannowsky9692 did you adjust the heat at all? Was your weight regulator set at 10 pounds of pressure? If you adjusted your heat and your gauge never moved I would be cautious because maybe it’s faulty.
Instructions are the best I've seen. Most channels I've watched don't advise to restart 1 minute timer and adjust and readjust heat until you get correct number of jiggles per minute. Your video was the most precise IMO. 👍🏾
Thank you! I appreciate that!
The weight regulator helps you to know whether or not your gauge is correct your gauge can be off but the pressure regulator will never be off
Thank you for the excellent and informative vid. I received an All American 921 way back in 1975 as a wedding gift from my dear MIL. We lived in the country near Visalia, CA with a big garden and used to can with it a lot. Then we moved to the big city and no longer had a garden or time or energy to can. It has been in storage unused for at least 30 years but still looks nearly new. I'm now retired and live in the country with a huge vegetable garden. I've got it out of storage but it's been so long though that I neither have the instructions or remembered exactly how to use it. Your vid will help me to begin canning again. I've liked and subscribed.
Wow, I am really glad that you kept your canner all of these years. That’s wonderful. Thanks for being here 😊
I have cast iron burners, such a learning curve. Beyond stressed out. Thank you for your video. You are a great teacher.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. Especially the part where you added another minute of counting the "jiggles". That was a very good tip to consider as an adjustment. Thanks again.
Welcome!
Excellent video! Just got my pressure canner delivered and this is exactly the video i needed to see. I definitely would have counted the "jiggles per minute" incorrectly. Thank you!
Enjoy your new canner!
Great video for me. Thank you. The timing of the weight giggling for a minute was super helpful.
Your welcome!
Excellent Video! I'm had to replace my old Mirro canner so I got an All American and i struggled to switch over to the other jiggler. Thanks, this gave me lots of knowledge!
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this EASY tutorial! You SAVED ME!!!
Thank you! Haven't pressure canned yet...waiting for mine to come in (backordered) am looking forward to it coming and getting started!😊👍
This is the best information I have watched so far. Thank you so much
Welcome ! Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this. I just got my 915 All American today! I’m excited but nervous. I subscribed and I’ll be following along. 🌹
Awesome! You will do great 👍
Thank you for the video. It was helpful to see what it looks like when they say let the weight jiggle four times in a minute. It may seem like a simple thing, but when you never done it before, you don't know if it's a should be a little jiggle or if it should ring like a bell. Thanks again.
Thank you! Glad it has helped.
Best video I have seen, great instructions thanks so much I learn by seeing!!!
Thank you!!
Mine will come in tomorrow I will test it
Great info!
Thanks so much, I followed along with you !! I am so glad I did.
You’re welcome! Love hearing this!
Thank you. That was very clear and thorough.
Welcome 🤗
Thank you for making this video! I just got the All American pressure canner and I was very nervous about using it ( even just the doing the water test) Your video helped!
Your welcome! Love hearing this!
Thanks for the clear and concise video! I’m sitting in front of my new 925 canner as I do the first test! I hope it goes as well as yours!
That’s great! I’m glad it has helped.
It 's good trust me I make them
Very nice video. Thank you ❤️
Thank you 😊
I've done quite a bit of canning using an All American Canner. I still learned a lot from this and it gave me greater confidence as well. Currently, our county extension is not testing, due to Covid. From you I learned (if I understood correctly) that I can test it myself when the gauge matches the weight with prescribed jiggle. I assume the other weights apply as well, yes? Thank you. (I'm now a subscriber and hoping that your followers build.)
Yes so same thing with all the weights! In my experience if your gauge is off so will your jiggle test. When canning make sure to watch for all signs that your canner is operating properly. Too much jiggle and your heat is too high. If something is abnormal outside of these safety parameters I would wait until you could get your canner tested to be safe. Hope that helps! Happy canning and thanks for subscribing
Thank you for this video. I wish I had seen it before my first few (unsuccessful) attempts at water test. It can be a little intimidating and I was so nervous. I will do another test within the next few days.
Good luck! You can do it!
Thank you, very informative since I've never pressure canned. Was considering buying this brand, expensive but I like the fact no gasket to replace & top of line brand!
Thank you! They are worth the investment. Will last a life time.
@@DomTheresaCanningTheGarden My order for the 25qt was just placed on Amazon!
Good job!
Thanks!
Awesome test run, thank you!!
Thank you. I hope to post more pressure canning videos soon.
nice job
Thank you ☺️
I keep my heat just a tiny bit higher then four rattles per minute the pressure regulator gets rid of the pressure and it makes sure that you don't have a boo-boo
Thanks for your tips 😊
You can do that, but realize that you’re not canning at any higher pressure, it just means that you’re boiling water harder. The weight used will be determinate in the actual cooking temperature based on your local altitude. If your All American weight gauge is jiggling beyond 1 to 4 times a minute, say 7 or 8 or more, the relative pressure is still at whatever pressure you’ve chosen on the weight gauge. So, the canner is doing its job, just working harder at maintaining set weight gauge pressure, and in doing so, you run the risk of boiling your canner dry, which could lead to destroying the canner as well as improper product canning.
Do you count a continuous jiggle for like 5-10 secs as 1 jiggle? I ran into this with my new 921 canner & I’m a beginner! Please help! 😩🙏🏼
This was a helpful video. Would you say the way your camera captured the sound was faithful to how loud the All American is? It's sounded quite loud in other videos, but didn't seem so bad in yours.
I don’t find it that loud. The sound in the video was not adjusted at all. Hope that helps!
@@DomTheresaCanningTheGarden Thank you for replying! That is helpful for sure.
Thank you for the video! If you’re canning at 10lbs of pressure with your weighted gauge, is the pressure dial just a backup to show that the lb is remaining at 10? I’m confused as to what the pressure dial is for, other than monitoring it going back to zero. Thank you!
Yes it’s to double check! But just remember that sometimes the dial gauge can be faulty and so you shouldn’t rely on it 100%. Keep paying attention to the “jiggles” per minute. Hope that helps.
@@DomTheresaCanningTheGarden thank you so much! You were very informative yet, not long winded like some videos. Great job!
Is the 4 jiggles per minute the same at 15 psi?
So I just got an AA and did my test today very nervously. I am at 15 due to elevation. If my weight is jiggling correctly I am bo longer at 15 on gauge. If I turn down heat to get the 1-4 jiggles the pressure gauge is no longer at 15 PSI. I am very frustrated. Does it have to BOTH read 15 PSI and do the 1-4 jiggle a minute simultaneously?
How do I correct this issue if thats the case?
This is brand new & was my first test.
Did you buy your AA brand new? The reason I ask is because your dial might be off. You definitely want to go by the jiggles per minutes. The dial in this case is just a back up.
Hi
What series or size pressure canner do you have on this video?
Hi there! I have the All American 915, 15.5 quarts. Hope that helps.
Hi! Which model is your All American? Thanks!
All American 915! Hope that helps 😊
So what is the purpose of the oil around the beveled edge?
It lubricates the edge and allows for a better seal. It’s recommended to do in the instruction manual. Many times people will recommend oil around the edge if steam escapes from the rim of the canner. Hope that helps
How long does it take to get a steady stream of steam? It seems to take forever to get my canner to have a steady stream of steam.
I also do noy see a consistent stream of steam but if I put a small bowl above it, there is water on the bowl.
How long have you been waiting? How much water are you putting in?
Great grandma says put oil around the rim first
Yes absolutely 🤗
Won’t that make it sticky after awhile?
@@leahw.5378 you may use Vaseline or Olive Oil. Less potential for sticky, gunky build up with Vaseline.
@@NumberNine_9 thank you
Are we supposed to apply olive oil to the beveled edge before every use?
I don’t personally. I just double check that there is still oil there
@@DomTheresaCanningTheGarden Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
What size is your pressure canner?
915 😌
sometimes i never really see the steam coming out…is there a reason for that? thanks
Maybe you aren’t waiting long enough? Hard to tell without being there! Can you hear it coming out?
@@DomTheresaCanningTheGarden i hear it loudly and can feel the hot air….. you are prob right about not waiting long enough…i think i’m so afraid of boiling it canner dry. ugh. thanks for responding!
I must be misinterpreting the jiggle but I’ve heard it hits every time it hisses that’s a jiggle the way I’ve been cooking for years it’s letting steam out so therefore it’s exceeded 15 pounds that’s a jiggle but you’ve waited till it had an extreme jiggle so six of 1/2 dozen the other if it’s not letting air out and then it lets air out all of a sudden it exceeded the psi
These are directions from the instruction manual.
All pressure canners (with the exception of pressure gauge-only canners, non-weight regulated canners) will continuously allow some air to escape during the canning process, that’s why they hiss. When it jiggles, that means the pressure has built up enough in the canner to warrant a greater necessary escape. The weight used regulates the amount of pressure inside the canner; 5 lbs., 10 lbs, 15 lbs, whatever is required for your geographic altitude. The extreme jiggle you’ve mentioned is part of the tempering process where you then adjust the heat source to bring it down to regulate a slow wobble, in the case of a Presto, or 1 to 4 jiggles a minute for an All American. Please refer to the user manual of either canner for correct use, and stop gambling with safe and proper use of pressurized vessels. Also refer to the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning - 2019 Revision. This is all detailed within.
The instructions say to place the weight on the kettle and then turn the heat on.
Sorry but no. The steam needs to vent for a full 10 mins before placing the weight regulator on. These are instructions for an All American brand of pressure canner.
Instructions for which pressure canner? I’ve used several, and not a one says to do that. You must vent for ten minutes after steam begins to escape, then place the weight on, then adjust heat until the weight jiggles one to for times a minute on an All American, or in the case of a Presto, does a slow steady wobble.
You fool yourself with electric although if you're good and you know how to handle it any heat source is fine, 😳
