Great advice, I have also bought several used pressure canner's and use them all. One suggestion, if you are having trouble reading the serial number, take a picture with your phone and then you can enlarge and have an easier time reading it.
That's brilliant!
Oh, Haha. I did that. I forgot pressure came #3. My Husband's aunts. It was well loved and a picture is how I researched it. A national #7. I have every thing except the manual. It has wooden handles.
I have a Sears Roebuck canner I got for free and love it. It’s like brand new. Picked up a All American today for 25 bucks. Needs a good cleaning but can’t wait to try her out.
Your canner “collection” is why I have so many sewing machines.
LOL!!! You are my kindred spirit!!! Twelve (quit counting at that #) sewing machines and 4 pressure canners (oops - now 5 - neighbor had an older Presto with the plastic handles in her 'free' pile at garage sale - complete!) # older Prestos - shorts and two tall - Water baths too. Ain't addiction wonderful!
The struggle is real 😅
I am familiar with that addiction issue. Seven sewing machines. 4 pressure cookers tho only one is a bonafide canner. Cookbooks and sewing books also rank high. I just love them all. Add a few spinning wheels to the party too.
Me too I have too many vintage sewing machines and pressure cookers ha ha
I was thinking wow she sounds like me and sewing machines and then I looked at the comments and lol, my husband says I can’t do the same with pressure canners. We’ll see. I actually just bought my first new presto canner and haven’t pressured with it yet, I just keep watching videos.
You'd never find a used pressure canner in Australia - in fact there's only a couple of places here to buy new ones. When I first started canning ten years ago, there were NO canners in the country, anywhere. I had to buy a new All American from the US, which cost $400 from here, and then shipping was nearly $300. That was for my 21qt canner. Then a couple of years later, I bought a 30qt All American, and with shipping that was nearly a thousand dollars. So $1700 for both.
Now a couple of companies have started stocking one or two Presto, and All American - but they're still hundreds of dollars.
I don't regret a cent of it though, because there are also hardly any long term food storage companies here - and the Mormons in Australia don't do food storage.
I also bought a 9 tray Excalibur and had that shipped here.
If I ever win the lotto, I'm going to start importing all these awesome American things. Lol!!
Sounds like an excellent opportunity to start a business (find a need, and fill it), once - as you said - you find your start-up capital.
Wow. Stay diligent.
New subscriber here! Came over from Freedom Homestead.....all I can say is where have you been all my life!Watching your channel is like holding on to a piece of home I lost long ago! Love Canning (learned from my Dad RIP) and it was something we did to spend time together and be prepared! We bonded over food prepping....lol and both loved that time together....Miss him everyday. I have 2 of my dads pressure canners and 2 water bath canners! Hoping to refresh my memory and learn some new techniques! Thank you for reminding me and thank you for your awesome channel!
Oh! You are so welcome! You gifted me with a smile this morning. Thank you!
@@SuttonsDaze 💗
My first pressure can I found in the metal pile at the recycle center. It's an old Presto 21 with wooden handles. Everything was in it, even the book! I haven't used it yet because it is so heavy.
Nice!
I'm sitting here enjoying a meal made with home canned beef and homemade noodles. Having a canning video to watch at the same time makes it even better.
Pressure canners, both new and used, are so hard to find these days. I'm a new canner and I found a new Presto online about a month ago. Been cranking out chicken, green beans, and ground beef so far. Your videos have helped so much. Thank you❣️
Yeah, the days when you could find these used for a song might just be over, for a while at least. Even estate sales are hard to find, and I live in an area that's not completely shut down.
Keep Facebook marketplace alerts turned on and search every city where you know someone. They can be found.
I was not aware that the Presto could not be used on a propane burner outside, that is good to know. I have been trying to decide between getting the Presto or the All American, but I want to be able to use it on a propane burner as a backup, so I guess you helped me make up my mind.
EDIT: By the way, I decided to check for used and I found an All American #921 with the "old style" top handle like yours, supposedly bought last year but never used. He wanted $300 for it, so I talked to him about it and was about to walk away and he threw in a matching All American #910 for $350 for both canners. The 910 is still in its box, the 921 is out of its box but it still looks brand new, not a scratch on it. More than I was hoping to pay, but it gets me two All American canners so I have the option of processing small or large batches for about what the 921 itself would have cost me new with shipping to Hawaii.
It can be used on a propane burner outside, as long as it's not over 12,000 BTU
Canners take up a lot of space to collect . Having 2 or 3 is a good idea . SHTF situation they will be needed and traded .
You end up with thawing meat from a freezer canning is the answer .
Yes , you can use canners on all heating units - just so it can take the weight .
Propane , flat tops and even a LOW open fire setting on a grate .
Owning a canner is SMART .
I picked up a mirro for $10 at the flea market and a 925 all American for $15. my husband asked if I was starting to collect pressure canners.
Show him this video and he wont tease you again....haha
I just picked up my 3rd pressure canner today. Mirro 22qt. Saw 2 old Nationals at the Goodwill yesterday for $20.
I have the all American 921 too. My husband posted on Facebook that he was looking for a pressure canner and a lady asked if I was actually going to use it and my husband said yes. She just gave it to us and said Happy Canning! I almost pooped myself.
EPIC!!! I probably would have pooped myself.......hahahaha
I found the tall version of the yellow one for $10 online near my grandma’s house and she went and got it for me and wouldn’t even take my $10 when I picked it up when I was visiting. I took it to get tested and the old (slightly rusty) gauge is still right on, which is good cause i can’t get it unscrewed
Nice collection. I habe 4 pressure canners, all are Mirro. I even have my Grandma's aluminum oven canner. I don't remember her canning in it, but do remember her using the top and bottom pans to bake her yeast rolls on. I am 84 years old.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
Hi, I just purchased a mirro 16 qt. Can you please help me😔😟
You can set up outside for canning. Just use camp stoves.
I've thought of canning outside. I'm concerned about how to protect the jars from drafts while they cool?
@@katywrightgallery6523 if its hot out thats not a problem unless ur in a region prone to cold down drafts.
Katy Wright we bring the jars inside as soon as the canner is vented and the lid can be safely removed. But we can outside all summer long on a propane burner that was bought for frying turkeys outdoors. I have a glass top stove so I don’t really like to use it for canning.
What about a gas grill with a burner?
I have 7 Canners I like really using them replace old parts with new ... It makes me Joyful
I put it out on fb groups that I’m looking for canning jars and the response is incredible. I have over 100 various size jar for free 😃
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did that to and people were so rude to me
@Smiddy Wesson your best source is the Estate Sales..The GF and I hunt for jars and canners and have had much better success at ESs.. Not to be too critical but usually at the ESs the family is selling off the personal property of a recently deceased..Yard sales are often times the second step before going to the Goodwill or Salvation Army
I bought the yellow one like yours off internet. Named her Buttercup! I gave her to my son so he could can for his family. Still love that yellow canner.
LOL! I thought I was the only person who collects canners! I feel so much better now. 😀
Thank you for sharing about pressure canner. We bought a new All American Canner and paid over $300.00 dollars for it. Now I will start looking at yard sales for them and thief store.This is the first time we have ever caned. We have put up tomatoes juice before .But now we have canning all kinds of vegetables. We found everything thing we need at the Amish have all kinds of stuff. None of the store have anything kind of canning stuff. Thank you for the video.
The green and the gold are Beautiful!😍 I've never seen ones that have colors! I cannot wait to see the ones in the garage!😊 Can't wait to see and learn more! For a second there I thought that was my cat walking in front of my screen! Lol! They could be twins! And my name is Lisa too only spelt differently! It's so funny, when I was younger I was always spelling my name the same as yours, until a very strict teacher called my Mom and said if I continued to spell my name different from her paper work, she was going to deduct 50%from my grade on all work with Leisa instead of Lisa!😩 Needless to say... Lol! 😂 Thought that would give you a chuckle! Can't wait to see more! Have a Blessed Day!
I love your older videos. A lot of good information.
So glad I came across this video! VERY informative. When visiting my Family in Arkansas, I found a 50's USA made aluminum pressure canner made by J.P. Dowell in McKinney TX, where I actually live! Best part, it was $5 at the garage sale!! The aluminum is in great condition, it was beautiful burgundy Bakelite knobs and handle, and even had the rack. I sold it on eBay for $120 plus shipping, and UPS damaged the handle in shipping despite being packed extremely well (cracked the handle right down the middle). It's just been sitting in my pantry, awaiting handle repair, but after finding this video, I think I'm going to keep it and get into canning/food preservation. With the way things are heading, I think it's more valuable than I originally thought, and not from a monetary value. Thank you so much for the video!
So jealous. My all american belong to my mom, from 1946. Still works. But would love a second!
I really like using the weight as the gauge on my presto pressure canner. I can babysit it by sitting in the same room working on a jigsaw puzzle and look up at it to check its dance . . . and mostly hearing it jiggling away at the proper weight. I am new this year to pressure canning but am greatly enjoying it. Thank you for posting your wonderful videos.
This channel is how I learned about the jiggler too! What a difference it makes.
I'm in love with the yellow one.
Pressure cooker-outlet is my first 'go to' for parts. And they are nice to do business with.
A great source of information! I have a gold Sears & Roebuck canner (no gauge) that my father-in-law gifted me with back in the 1970s, which was my main canner until purchasing a new All American 921 last winter. After 2 cross-country moves, I discovered not long ago that the weighted gauge is missing on the gold one, and one of the handles got broken. Thanks for the link to replace the parts that need to be replaced!
Yes!!! I'm 23, it took me about 3 years to find 2 water bath canners, and 3 pressure canners, 1 in which I still need to buy replacements for. It takes time, but as long as your priorities are right, these things WILL come your way. Happy canning!
Re-watching some of your old videos. Giggling 🤭 of such good prices the canner are . Now 2022 there 140 and some even more . Thank God I found mines when they were cheap 5 years ago! Love your Videos especially your older ones for reference.
Thank you for the link to the supply store. This is why I have avoided used canners in the past. I had no idea where to get replacement parts if something was missing or broken. What a great resource.
And I thought I had a canner problem LOL I am not alone
Just started my canning journey, I'm glad I found you!
Just watching this a year later. I've had one new PC and 1 gave to me. I have my mother's hand me down water bath canners, one has now rusted thru, but I still have it. And the other one, I still use from time to time. Good info on your video..thank you! oh and I love to see your other ones..lol
I remember, 40 years ago, just starting out, I used an empty tomato juice can to water bath (strawberry jam I think it was) one jar at a time. It could handle up to a pint jar, if I wanted tomatoes or canned fruit. I'm in southwest Ontario, and although it is the most heavily populated part of Canada, we do not have anywhere near the density that you do. I started with an electric pressure canner (don't cringe, it was easy, affordable and I loved it). When I decided that I wanted to continue and add to my canning, I looked around and decided on the All American. It had, really, no parts that would need replacement, as I considered the gauge sort of a back up and relied on the weighted gauge (however, on a side note, one of the knobs crumbled, ???, but I was able to order a replacement). Since this was during the lock down, there were no garage or rummage sales, so had to buy new. $530 with exchange and delivery. When I went to register it, I needed some info I had neglected to print out, so went back on line. Well. Three weeks (I think they strapped it to a turtle for delivery) and that model was then selling for $703 USD.
Thank you for this informational tutorial on pressure canners. I had no idea that there were canners in color. Would you do a video on how you test your gauge?
I love love love this video. What an education. Thank you Leisa so very much.
I have the same old Sears and Robuck canner in green to. . It was the first canner I got. I found it at a flea maket for 25 dollars. It had every part and the manual too. Love it.
look at your goldmine! i aspire to be like that one day.... lol, i'm always looking at thrift stores, estate sales, etc now because of your finds! love them all
Thank you so much for linking the website in your description about where to buy old pressure canner parts. I was almost ready to give up until I went on that site. Now I have a fully functional pressure canner that was gifted to me for only $33 in parts!
Thank you for this video. I've been craving to start pressure canning and have been saving for a canner. I never thought of a used one. I live in south Florida, and almost every year I lose food in my fridge due to hurricanes. If and when I can stock my pantry on canned goods, I won't have to fight the craziness at the local grocery stores. Thanks again. :-)
I just re-habbed my old presto. Great advice for those buying used canners. Thanks for the link👍🏻 $25? For an all-American? 😱 SCORE! You go woman!
Love watching you. I will say I was not sad when mom gave away her pressure canner , her mom's pressure canner, and two presto cups. They represented long hours in a large garden, and putting up the garden in July and August. We would travel down south to grandma's to help her as well. Cooking and canning in the heat is not a favorite memory.
I do miss the food, but not enough to grow it and can it. lol.
Already then, I no longer feel bad about how many I have.. (more :O ) If you are a serious canner, can you have too many? The green one is very pretty, and if you can get parts-GREAT for you... My hubby has rebuilt the first one we ever bought new.. Why do I have more? They are priceless. I will confess that I really don't like the ones you have to buy gaskets for as they don't last as long as they use to. But it is the one I most common use.. Thanks for showing your cool collection.. good for you :)
You have a gentle way of educating without being preachy.
What a wonderful tutorial on canning ... thanks so much - this upload was fabulous!
I have a 80$ all American to consider here locally to me. Thank you so much for your help to know what to look for. I’m really hoping it will be in good shape!! 🥰
I was totally paying attention till that beautiful cat photo bombed ur presentation...nearly stole the thunder of ur lovely collection 🤗
Hi there! Love your video about this rare subject of pressure canning. I have an all American and it's Huge! Afraid to use it because I don't know if it has all it's parts? I noticed something in the video with the little Sears green pressure canner. On the bottom of the jar rack inside was something taped to the bottom of it and it looked like screws or something. Just wanted to know if you noticed that too? Well, thanks so much for your video. Look forward to seeing more. Was watching the kneady homesteader and that's where I got your link to this video and her other "canning sisters." Thanks again.
We got the gold canner from an old, 90 year old friend many years ago that we been using to pressure can our fruits, jams, juices, and tomatoes . She gave us tons of jars to go with the canner. Wow what a deal .
Great resource web link for ordering pressure canner parts!
Great canner collection. In a few years some those are going to be museum pieces.
You are indeed The Canner Diva! What an impressive collection. I especially love the colored ones. Great info, too. TFS!
My dear friend gave me her yellow presto for my birthday! She is a wreck and needs new parts. Thanks for the web site. I'll order the parts for "Sunshine" and get her up and running. That will make 3 for me.
I got my presto brand new still in box. My mom had it garage n never used it bc she was scared too. So when I shared with her my interest in pressure canning she gave me hers. How lucky am I!
Awesome!
So nice to come upon this video! I'm looking for a canner but as someone just starting out I didn't want to nor can I afford a new one. Thank you. This is perfect timing 💓
I got mine at an auction, there was 2 of them. I recently bought a new one without the gauge. It took some getting used to, but I like it now. Of course, not as much as the gauged ones I used to have. (Long story)
I was just blessed with the gold one you have and she replaced everything on it
I bought a canner supposedly from the 1920s for $10 and I did buy all new parts. And now a friend gave me her canner for zero! I’m ready to try my hand at pressure canning!!
Yes!!!
Thank you so much, Leisa! A coworker taught me how to can and bought me a Sears brand "Maid of Honor" canner at an auction for $20. It has been at least ten years since then, and I had given up hope of finding an owner's manual for it, let alone replacement parts! That link is a valuable thing! And yes, I'm still using the canner!
This is most valuable when buying from a garage sale/Thrift store! Wow how helpful!
I have 3 of the gold one. I have had 2 of them running at the same time several times this summer. I did over 250 jars so far this summer, with a fall crop just planted of several veggies to can in a few months.
every grandma had one, so true. we have two like the ones on your left that I doubt we gave anything over 10 dollars each, then the new one, we found an autoclave thats built off of an all american pot with an electric element and control on it for $20. There are literally millions of them out there, its just finding them.
Just ordered a used Presto Canner today!!! A vintage 21 qt! Can't wait! Instead of waiting to see what the seal is like I went a head and ordered a new seal and plug from one of your suggested places! I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I have an American 941. You read that right, and I paid full price for it. I can do a full crop of anything with it. No, I am not going to sell it. The day I can no longer lift the bottom to the stove top, I will sink it into concrete and turn it into a hot tub.
Oh hi Leisa, pressure canners galore. Loved your informative chat last night. The info you offered is amazing. I really thought it was one of the best that we have to realize our lives how they are today, our food and grain supplies. Thank you. I’ve always used the water bath. My mom and mother in law taught me a lot over the years. You’ve taught us so much. God bless you. You’ve inspired us yes you all your utube friends also especially Heather.. thanks 👍👍❤️❤️🌻🌻
I just got the little gold Presto and she needs a few parts but $8 had me sold. Thank you for the link to parts.
I inherited my mother’s presto 21 then found 3 at a local food pantry for $25 each. I bought them all. I love my #7. Thanks for sharing such a lovely hobby.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIPS AND IDEA'S AND INFORMATION FOR NEW CANNER LIKE ME
Grate video I have a large and smaller presto canner,also have cookers 6 qt.presto love it...then Came very old Mirro_Matic 4 qt,...not one but two oldest 1946 copieright .all work grate .
My multiple pressure canner journey started yesterday with a Presto canner for $5!!!!
SCORE!!!!❤❤
Thanks to you I took a step of faith and purchased one today. Yeah!
Yeah!!!!
Great information! Next time you check a gage. Would you please show us. Thank you.
I took my canner lid to my Home Extention Agent. She checks them for free.
Geez....now I wanna collect pressure canner's and don't pressure can..until now that is....lol love your video..
I have the exact same gold one. What a work horse! I bought it from my mil for 30 dollars years ago. I have the 921 but haven't used it yet,
Thanks for the website! I need some parts for a small canner I bought for $4 at a garage sale, it even had the instruction manual in it! I think it only holds 4 pints, but, hey sometimes that's all you need to process! Now to find it and get the serial number off of it...think it's called a can-o-matic or something, if that tells you the age of it, lol. Love the green and yellow canners, so jealous right now! 😍
You buy pressure canners the same way I buy cast iron. :) I'm planning on doing a little tutorial later this week on operating Presto canners, hopefully explain a couple of things they don't mention in the instructions. Fun fact, Presto's corporate headquarters and one of their factories is about 50 miles from me. The factory has been closed for a long time and the old timers still refer to it as "pressure cooker" as in "He used to work over at pressure cooker back in the 70's" even though that particular factory never made appliances, only artillery shell casings.
Mudbrooker, I buy cast iron the same way........hahahaha I look forward to your video!
One of the best scources out there for parts is The pressure cooker outlet.I buy all mine used
I grew up learning from my mom with a Presto, then someone gave her an All American, and she used it for years. I have the Presto, and one of the water bath canners, but discovered it did not do well with a smooth glass top range. I found a stainless steel water bath with a smooth bottom,and it worked perfectly for that stove top. Now I have a gas cook top which I love for canning. Great finds and buys.
I love your enthusiasm! Hadn’t even thought about looking for a used one and I live in the middle of a “canning culture” and estate sales all over the place.
I use an old soup pot that belonged to my parents for a water bath canner. The glass turn table in my microwave fits perfectly in the bottom and gives me the use of all the diameter of the pot.
My grandmother gave me her old pressure canner. I went and bought a new gasket and pressure plug setup for it, and had it shipped from Arizona to Newfoundland. I tried using the canner, and burned myself trying to remove the lid after cooling the unit for an hour or more. The lid or pot lip was warped. I had to beat the lid off. I took the pressure canning parts from it and gave it to my sister in law to use as a hot water canner (I didn't want anyone to attempt to pressure can in it again for safety reasons). I plan on looking for another canner to use the replacement parts I have now. In the meantime, I went and got a new T-Fal one, and am using my old Mirro one.
Hey! Saw you on Freedom Homestead! Awesome interview. Always been interested in canning but too Chicken 🐔
You can do it!!!
I want that avocado green canner so much 😆 it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing these. I totally missed out on huge pressure canner because I couldn't tell what was missing. In hindsight I should've purchased it anyways.
Your first one is probably better quality.
I have an Amish stainless steel water bath that holds 15 qts. I have a water bath granite that does nine quarts. Biggest granite I ever saw! Also have a seven pint granite.
Was gifted a 30 qt. All Amercian. Glorious thing!!! Also have a Mirro 22 qt. Which does 7 qts and sixteen pints.
I ordered replacement parts for mine just in case So glad too they are much pricier now!
I passed up two Mirro canners at thrift stores. Both were $10. My other half was so unhappy. Said never to pass one up again. Haven't seen one since!
I have three All American 921 canners and another one that I inherited that is going to need some work. The gasket was stuck in the grove and i have been able to get a lot of it out of the grove, but needs more work. Ill test it out after I can get the gasket grove cleaned out.
Yeha I got 2 old pressure canning for 5 bucks yesterday. They r really heavy.. The only thing they need is the seal renew. Yehyyy so cool now I don't have to struggle where to find the parts jaja thank you so much 😀
always good to have backups!
You better believe it...lol
What a beautiful cat! I love cats, and he’s a beauty! Big too. I lost my kitty 4 years ago. He was a Maine Coon and almost 30 pounds at his finest…..he was magnificent…. His picture is my avatar….that’s Frankie…
I'm allergic to beautiful kitties. Please accept my sympathies for your loss.
Wow, that's a lovely sight! I love to pressure can! I have 5. Three are used. But I haven't found an All American yet! Great investment!!
I LOVE your Sears canner!
Hi, thanks so much for all the information you have been giving us newbies! So thankful.
And I thought having 3 (a water bath that was my grandmother's, huge one to do giant batches of green beans and a 23 qt). Apparently I am a beginner. LOL
Thanks for this wonderful information. I join your Canuary and was viewing older videos. Glade I found this one. I found my canner when I cleaned out my mother's house and wanted to replace the seal at least since I don't remember her ever using it but know that it must be older since I've been moved away for 30 years now.
Thanks a bunch for the info. Dad and I have about 10 between us and use them often.
I really need a pressure canner. Thanks for the great advice.
You can do it, don't give up :-)
Thank You so much for posting this I love canning and now I can get parts that I need.
I just recently purchased a sears 21 quart pressure canner, needed a seal, but the gauge tested perfect. Also luckily it came with the manual and the previous owner had attached a card to the last page listing the new seal number since sears is no more.
Thank you 😊 I just at sixty have fall in love with caning,you have given me great information have a beautiful evening 🏡😊🐶❤️😺
I giggled when you said your yellow little canner for small batches. That is the one I bought from a friend for 25$ and what I use for my canning since I started. Maybe some day a bigger one.
How wonderful. Thx. For sharing these treasures.
this lady knows her stuff!!! a tip, a bit of steel wool and some elbow grease will help reveal the model number on the canner. found this out while trying to find a seal ring for moms old mirro m-0622. turns out, the model number was not changed but the date of manufacture required 2 different seals. found the date with the steel wool. btw, as of today here in the pacific nw on craigslist there are 5 or 6 used canners. if you're a prepper, get to prepping.
Thanks for this video, it’s nice to know these things about use canners.
Thank You thank you…
