All-American Pressure Canner

Instead of using a rubber or silicone gasket that wears out over time, this canner uses a precision-machined metal-on-metal seal. You simply apply a light coating of cooking oil to the rim to create an airtight, leak-proof seal that lasts for the lifetime of the unit.

Yes, this canner is compatible with glass and ceramic cooktops. However, because of the unit's weight when filled with water and jars, you should check your stove manufacturer's weight limit recommendations before use.

This model is designed to hold up to 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars at a time. It is a standard size for home preservation, offering enough vertical space to accommodate most common canning jar configurations.

No, this model uses a weighted-gauge system rather than a dial gauge. Because the pressure is controlled by the weight itself, it does not require annual calibration or testing, ensuring consistent pressure settings of 5, 10, or 15 PSI.

Yes, it is fully capable of water bath canning. You can use it for high-acid foods like fruits, jams, and pickles by simply leaving the petcock open or removing the weight to allow steam to escape while maintaining a boiling water environment.

The canner is equipped with a backup safety valve that releases pressure automatically if the internal limit is exceeded. Additionally, the metal-to-metal seal design prevents the unit from being opened while under pressure, providing a secure environment for your canning process.
